Web Resources CRM Labels

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Rick Bellefond CSM

Hi.  I am new to using Web Resources for putting Labels on a CRM form.

What I want to be able to do is create a Web Resource label that is over as far to the left as a Section label would be and have it with the same font and font size so that it looks exactly the same as a Section label.

I can get the label that I want on the form just not with the right sized font and not as far over to the left as I want.

I have defined the "Type" to be Webpage (HTML) and am using the Text Editor that is on the Web Resource form.

My first question is what font and size (below) as I am supposed to use.  It seems that I am not picking the right font and trying this with different font choices below I find that the "8 Point" size is too small and the "10 Point" size is too big and there is not a "9 Point" option

My second question is their a trick to getting it as far to the left as a Section label is?

Any suggestions on how I can get this done?

Thanks.

    Hi Rick,

    Sorry not padding, add negative margin (margin-left: -7px;).

    <html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
    <div align="left">
        <div style="margin-left: -7px; padding: 0px; width: 262px; height: 37px; text-align: left; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Segoe UI,Tahoma,Arial; font-size: 12px; max-width: 210px;">
            <div align="left">
                <strong>My Label</strong>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

    Hi Nadeeja,

    It seems like if I make the padding option negative i.e., <div style="padding: 0px; width: 262px; that when I save it then it gets removed from the expression and I end up with <div style="width: 262px;

    I would think that I should be able to get it to line up with the other labels.

    Weird, huh?

    Thanks,

    Rick

    Hi Rick,

    Try changing the padding with negative values.

    Hi Nadeeja,

    I am staying just a little bit longer than I had planned.

    I took the code you gave me and made the label bold and made the width bigger and I now almost have what I am looking for.  My code as it now exists is:

    <html><head><meta charset="utf-8"></head><body><div align="left"><div style="padding: 0px; width: 262px; height: 37px; text-align: left; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Segoe UI,Tahoma,Arial; font-size: 12px; max-width: 210px;"><div align="left"><strong>My Label</strong></div></div></div></body></html>

    I only need to move it maybe 2 or 3 letters to the left and I will have it.

    Any ideas, how to do that?

    Thanks,

    Rick

    Hi Rick,

    Here's what I used in a recent project.  You may have to adjust it to suit your form.

    <div style="font-family:Segoe\00020UI,Tahoma,Arial; font-size: 12px; width:150; max-width:150px; text-align: left; color: #444444; padding:0;">My Label</div>

    Hi Nadeeja,

    First of all, thanks for responding to my post.

    I see that if I right click on the web resource label and choose Inspect that I see everything about the web resource label that I put on the form but if I right click on the Section label on the form I do not see anything.

    All I really want to know is what font, what font size is being used by default with CRM 2016 Section labels and can I move the web resource to the left so it will line up properly with the Section label above it.

    Thanks again.

    Rick

    Hi Rick,

    You can use web browser developer tools to find out the styles (fonts family, size etc). Right click on an existing label and select Inspect.  That will open developer tools and you can find out the style element values.
