In CRM Online 2015 Update 1 instances I experience charts on forms not showing the correct data until they are manually refreshed.
Charts in general show all data from the underlying view when the form is loaded. Only after manually refreshing a certain chart does it show "Only Related Records".
As an example, I have added a chart to the Account entity as seen below. Both the chart and the shown subgrid are using the same view. Even though there is only 1 related record the chart shows all data from "My Open Opportunities" after form load:
After refreshing the chart by clicking the small recycle-icon the correct data related to the current record (in this case 1) is shown:
I have tested this in 3 different CRM Online 2015 Update 1 instances which all exhibit the same behavior. Additionally, this is seen for both system and custom entities.
A similar chart setup in CRM Online 2015 without Update 1 works as expected.
I've got the same problem.
Microsoft has changed how they load forms. For now, you can switch back to the old way by going to Settings -> Administration -> System Settings -> General tab, and selecting Yes for “Use legacy form rendering”
This is only a temporary measure as that option is likely to be removed, but maybe Microsoft will support charts in forms or whatever the issue is by then.
PS:
Drawback is that the new way of loading forms is much faster, so you'll lose som e time if you switch back.
I Haven't tested this yet, but maybe you could add some javascript on the onLoad event to automatically select the view, like your users have to do now manually:
Xrm.Page.getControl(subgridname).getViewSelector().setCurrentView(viewname);
but this isn't pretty either
This issue is supposed to be fixed in Service Update 1 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 7.1.1. From the changelog: "Charts within a subgrid are displaying all records when they should actually display only related records.".
The expected release date is around the middle of December.

As mentioned before, I've recently started working for a firm, creating applications in OpenEdge Progress-4GL.
One of the basic things we're doing here is putting a fill-in field on the screen, where we can fill in the value of an entry in a table.
Let's have a look at the following table, as an example:
employee_name employee_number
============= ===============
Dominique 001
Carl 002
Charlize 003
Freddy 004
My company's fill-in field handles the following features:
Enter the name of an employee ("Carl"), and the database jumps to the corresponding tuple in the database (002).
Press "Cursor-up" and the database jumps to the tuple just above (001).
Press "Cursor-down" and the database jumps to the tuple just underneath (003).
We are currently working with OpenEdge AppBuilder Release 11.6.
As far as general OpenEdge Progress software is concerned, we are working with OpenEdge Release 11.6 as of Fri Oct 16 19:01:51 EDT 2015.
I've just found out that we are simulating simple tab pages with checkboxes and visibility properties of basic components, which is extremely outdated, I'm looking to update this way of working, and I also wonder if there are newer ways to browse in a database, instead of working with the mentioned fill-in fields.
Does anybody have an idea if there are more recent controls I can use for this purpose?
The browse widget (static or dynamic), which can be associated with a query (that uses temp-tables or database tables) is the normal widget for showing data.
You can also use a .Net grid control with databinding.
I’ve created an add-in that consist of a ribbon and three tabs.
Background to build:
The ribbon is built using designer and not xml. The primary use of these is to allow quick opening of various email templates.
Tab0 adds a couple buttons to the built in TabMail
Tab1 is a new custom tab with various buttons that do various things.
Tab2 is a reduced version of Tab1 for use by users of our subsidiary company but pointing to alternatively branded templates.
In the coding, Tab1 and Tab2’s visibility is set based on user AD group membership on ribbon load event. This has been tested and works.
Tab0 always is merged with the built in Home tab shows as expected.
Developers and template admins like me should see all tabs. This also works using same methods.
Current issue:
Recently and I think after a certain office 365 update (but not 100% which), Tab1 no longer shows for anyone that should see it on load. However the tab has loaded somewhere. The reason I know this is because to fix this bug all I have to do is minimise the ribbon the re-maximise. Both additional tabs are instantly visible.
Please note, I do not have to disable and the re-enable the actual add-in.
I can also confirm that the Ribbon Type is set correctly (Microsoft.Outlook.Explorer) so please, no reply along those lines either.
I have trawled the web and cannot seem to find an explanation or fix for this behaviour. I'm hoping someone has seen this before and might point me in the right direction.
To replicate, I've seen it happen by just creating a new simple ribbon project and creating a new custom tab. Then create a second tab by copying the first, giving it a diff ID.
e.g.
Ribbon on App Launch/Load - Tab01 Missing
Ribbon on minimise - Tab01 Appears
Ribbon on maximised- Tab01 still visible
Still have no idea why this happens but i have found a work around for those that have experiences the same issue.
The issue seems to affect the first custom tab only. So if you add a new blank custom tab and set its visibility to false, this inherits this bug allowing the other to function properly.
Its a bit of a dirty fix but work well.
Would still be interested in an actual fix if anyone knows one though.
This happens because you had added control to your ribbon perhaps a property to the Control which you should not.
An example is when you add a Ribbon Gallery control to your Ribbon and change its "PositionType" property from Default to another value.
This results in the Ribbon not showing.
Or perhaps you should check the last code you added to your project
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 am setting the section properties of CRM form to have label & control in separate rows like below:
By default the form control will be visible=false. When I try the below snippets only label is showing up but not the textbox. If I use side by side setting, its working as expected.
Xrm.Page.getControl("myattribute").setVisible(true);
or
Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get('myattribute').setVisible(true);
Can I achieve this by some other supported means?
Update:
Ours is CRM 2015 on-premise. Not update 1.
I have tested the same behavior in Dynamics 365 CRM trial. Legacy form behaves the same way, but Turbo form is having the fix.
Can you please try the following options and check if the issue persists ?
1. Turn off legacy form rendering.
2. If you can use the Business Rules, to Show/Hide field and see if it works ?
3. You can use un-supported customization, to hide the textbox.
var curElement = document.getElementById(controlname + "_d");
if (curElement != null)
curElement.style.display = '';
This seems to be Product bug till date, even in latest version with legacy form.
For now as a workaround, we are keeping the controls in separate section to meet our need.
Am open to any other supported solution.
I have set up a reporting tool using sql server 2008 R2 with a single report containing 4 datasets on a single page. Each dataset is basically a table and a chart. I would like to have it set up in such a way as to have two datasets on one page of the report and the others on the next page.
Is there anyway to format the layout of a single report or would I have to design a second report and call that from the first somehow and if so how do I do that?
These reports will be later binded to a web application using the reportviewer but not sure if this is possible with visual studio 2010.
Add a page break. You'll maybe need to add an extra rectangle per page to hold the table and chart controls for that page (been some time since I designed a report, sorry)
