Sitemap Link to specific View

Hello community,

I'm having issues with the sitemap, specifically with setting a subarea up so that it opens a specific view of an entity.

I want to create a link to the entity 'appointment' on a custom built view with Id = 52bc0cce-023c-e911-a961-000d3a38a57d (according to View Designer XrmToolBox plugin) , but Dynamics keeps throwing useless error messages or 404s, depending on what I try.

There's a guide on how to do it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dynamicscrm-2016/developers-guide/gg328483(v=crm.8)#display-a-view-in-the-application-navigation-using-the-site-map

The instructions provide a "template line":

Url=“/_root/homepage.aspx?etn=<entity logical name >&amp;viewid=%7b<GUID value of view id>%7d”

so I created my line based on that, which made it look like this:

/_root/homepage.aspx?etn=appointment&amp;viewid=%7b52bc0cce-023c-e911-a961-000d3a38a57d%7d

But this doesn't work at all. All it does is throw a nondescript error message. What's wrong with my URL though?

    Hi

    I have just tried the following and it works for me.

    I am using XrmToolBox Site Map editor for this and it works fine.
