    This is good documenation.
    I tried using this method to generate an advanced fine to display activities on a contact. I get a blank iframe when I publish the changes.
    Any ideas,
    Thanks,

    Dhwani,

    I have yet to need to complete this customization due to requirements however I have done it the normal way. The best thing I can do is to name my IFRAMES in a consistent way. A blank frame kind of sounds like you did it correctly but your not connecting to the actual frames that have data perhaps? Wish I could provide more help.

  • You can now use the sub-grids option in Microsoft CRM 2011. This feature works well but it does not work for customized results queries – only save advanced finds. Still very cool and a big time saver.

    Hi Brad,

    I have implemented this code and like Dhwani I get the blank display. The error is that the key is not defined in the ViewFunctions.js line 32/33. I am not a developer and do not know javascript so would appreciate a little guidance if possible.

    Thanks in advance

    I honestly have not had this as a requirement to implement myself so I would’t have any tips. In my experience doing normal embeded grids any issues I had were usuually related to creating the write linkages between the iFRAMES and entity relationships. Good Luck!
