Comment on CRM 2011: Accessing the parent form from a child form by Ondra Fiala

Ondra Fiala — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:59:19 +0000

Hi,

just FYI, working solution for me is window.top.opener.Xrm.Page,
e.g. window.top.opener.Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName()

Without the 'parent' object in this chain.

Current version of CRM 2011. Basic CRM forms are containing more iframes, so maybe there is a difference.

Comment on CRM 2011 Cross-Browser Support Poll by Anker Hedegaard

For us, support of multiple browsers, especially Safari in the iPad version, is a must have asap.
We need to support mobile users with a flexible mobile solution, and since Microsoft cannot deliver this at the moment, an iPad / tablet compatible version of CRM 2011 is absolutely nessecary.
It is a pain in the …, that we cannot support our organisation in the way we need at the moment!

Personally I think it's great that I can use CRM on Chrome.

However, as a developer I'm bit concerned about how well will the ISV developed add-ons work in other browsers. For example, we have developed many Silverlight-components that have been integrated into CRM UI and I'm not sure how well these will work on other browsers/other operating systems. For example, Microsoft's Silverlight-page (http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/) says that Silverlight is supported on the Mac-version of Safari but not on the Windows-version. And with Chrome it's the other way around.

There are several reasons why I am really excited about this feature:

1. Many of our existing customer's users have iPads and other devices, hate the CRM Mobile (Out of the Box) client and have no budget to pay for something like CWR Mobility. These clients would love to support users on their iPad.

2. Many of our existing customer's users work with MACs (Don;t ask me why) and run something like Parallels to be able to connect to CRM from their macs. Some of these users don't mind using Parallels as they were already using for other purposes but some other users are turned off by this "special set up needed to make CRM work on their MAC".

3. So I don't have hear this question every time I work on a new project: "Internet Explorer Only? Who the hell uses Internet Explorer?"

4. One less thing to be concerned about. At least the users and administrators will not be wasting time in finding out if their browser is supported but it will make life harder for us as we need to support multiple browsers (I.E. XYZ Custom Functionality not working for Safari).

5. I think it can make the difference on closing a deal for specific projects. For example, for the company with Outside Sales personnel where they use their own personal devices (I.E. iPads, Android Tablets, etc.) and they need to have access to the full capabilities of CRM before they meet with each client they visit that day.

There are some other features coming up that make me more excited than Cross-Browser support (I.E. Federation Services Support) but I guess I see CRM a little different than most people out there. :)

I think it's big deal for us, becuase mostf of the customer got Chrome or firefox as their favorite browser and they had to use IE for CRM only..
with this feature this should resolve this issue…so that would be great……..
