Core need:
Using an on-premise installation of Dynamics 365, I want to use a form to create a new Person and associate that Person with the each Book they have read. This is a N:N relationship
Yak shaving:
I have created the relevant entities and the N:N relationship but could not figure out how to link them. I watched this YouTube video.
This makes it appear that all I need to do is add the relationship to the navigation page in the form editor and it will appear on the form for users. However, the navigation pane is only visible in the form editor and not when trying to use the form.
I cannot find anything on the web that appears to address this issue so I think I've got something seriously backwards. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
That video is for 2011 - Older version.
In recent CRM, once you open the record form - on top navigation, you will see small down arrow (caret) icon. Click that to see Associated records navigation.

I don't see task, appointment entities are not in the list of quick create form when click on (+) button though quick create form enabled from entity definition even quick create forms also available on forms section for those entities.
I only see other entities like account, opportunity etc. on the list through (+) button.
You have to look for the below option:
Last time when I check, web always opens Main form when Quick create is expected to open (Ankuser confirmed this). But UCI opens QC forms when attempted from Timeline & Top bar.
Thank you all, I have resolved my problem. It seems that I needed to enable task, appointment entities from powerapps.
I am new with Dynamics 365 and are not sure of how I can achieve this.
I am looking into having some buttons in a view.
Maybe a view isn't the best way of doing it, but what I want to do is to have a list of records connected to the logged in user (similar to a view)
But on each row/record I want to have multiple buttons. These buttons can be like 'Complete' (Changes status on task and updates the view) , 'Send email'(Starts a workflow) and so on.
What are some of the ways of doing this? Either with Javascript/C#/plugin or something else.
You cannot add buttons in views/subgrids directly.
That’s when we add ribbon/command bar buttons using Ribbon workbench usually.
Create a Workflow Short Cut Ribbon Button (No Code Solution!)
Update:
There is a PowerApps Components Framework (PCF - preview) coming out soon, then we can build custom grid control with the layout/buttons we want.
This can be achieved with RibbonWorkbench. My answer does not differ much with #arun vinoth answer but just added few explanation lines.

If you look at view below where I have selected number of contact and then I have a Button at top "Nominieren" which is shown and clicking on it will perform whatever action is needed.
There will be java-script on click of button, from Java script you could call Action or workflow or perform operation in Java script itself.

Now when you look at image below I have no contact selected and it does not show button on Ribbon.
It might be possible. I haven't tried this but you can write JavaScript for a view column now (since CRM 2016).
If you go to a view you can double click on a view column to view its properties. There are two properties you might be interested in:

Here's a link to an MS page that explains how to use these options to add an icon. It might be possible to create a clickable button which uses CRM's WebApi to perform some actions: Docs # Microsoft
I am not able to hide 'See All Records' button from UCI, the button is not available in Ribbon Workbench. Please refer below screenshot for better understanding - Is there any other alternative?
Currently I am working on MS Dynamics CRM online version 9.1. I have searched on internet but couldn't find something related to 'See all records' button on sub-grid. I have checked the forms for any setting while adding sub-grid, but no luck.
If you have associated entity in the navigation then this icon will show up. Remove from form editor to remove this.

“Open Associated view” may be the right keyword to search.
Update:
I verified this in my environments (9.1.0.2251) - these options are not there.
But in our preview org (9.1.0.3010) - I can see it. No way to hide it.
Without associated entity in navigation:
With associated entity in navigataion:
Here My solution after I expensed a lot of time ..
Use Ribbon workbench , then select Home and look for NavigatetoHomepageGrid , button doesn't have an icon.
Hope It helps.
NavigateToHomepageGrid
I'm working with Quick Create Forms in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Everything is working as expected. We have a sub-grid of one entity visible in it's related entity. When the User clicks on the + sign of that sub-grid, the Quick Create From appears exactly as it should.
The issue at hand though, is the physical form label of the Quick Create Form. For some reason the system keeps insisting on adding the words Quick Create: on the top of the form before the name of the entity (see image below).
Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening? This is a on-premise Dynamics CRM 365 environment.
Unfortunately this is not customizable.
Maybe you can do some unsupported customizations like overwriting DOM objects, etc. But it’s not recommended.
It appears to have something to do with a CRM Patch that we had installed to fix a Chrome CSS issue. That seems to have added something outside of our control. I'm not a fan of hacks/unsupported fixes, so I think we may have to talk to Microsoft about this one directly.
I've recently customized the lookup functionality of MS CRM 4.0 to filter a contact list to only those contacts owned by a client using techniques similar to the one presented here:
http://advantageworks.blogspot.com/2008/02/pseudo-filtered-lookup-dialog-in.html
My question is, can I apply the same type of logic to the Form Assistant pane within the window? I've currently disabled the form assistant to prevent confusion, but I'd very much like to filter those contacts as well. I like the inline AJAX presentation of that data more than the lookup pop-up window, but I can't find any information on how that thing is working.
Anyone out there done this before?
Thanks in advance!

As far as I can tell from the research I've done - customization of the Form Assistant pane in MS CRM 4.0 in this manner simply is not possible. In those cases where we required this customization we opted to hide the Form Assistant to prevent end-user confusion.
