Fixed – Copy Paste not working in Remote Desktop Connection – Windows 10

Copy and Paste which was working as usual suddenly stopped working one fine day.

Other common Windows issue –RDP not saving credentials

https://nishantrana.me/2018/10/28/fixed-windows-10-remote-desktop-rdp-not-saving-credentials/

Had the following setting enabled

Restarted the following process on the remote machine, but that also didn’t help.

Finally updating the following setting on the remote machine helped fix the issue

Go to command prompt – open Local Group Policy Editor

gpedit

Navigate to: Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ Remote Desktop Services \ Remote Desktop Session Hosts \ Device and Resource Redirection \ Do not allow clipboard redirection

Although it was not configured so it should not have affected the setting, however explicitly set is as Disabled.

Restart the remote server. This fixed the issue. (do the same for the client machine as well if that doesn’t work).

Hope it helps..

{Advanced Customization}10 Tips to design CRM Views like a Pro

Nice tips !

MSDYNAMICSBLOG BY DEEPESH

Here are a set of 10 Tips to design CRM Views like a Pro:

Try to limit the number of columns on the View and limit the number of scrolls that are required to be done on the View. Usually, end users do not like to scroll more than 2 times even on the Web client. Also, more the number of columns, slower the view will load as it has performance implications.
In case views show All Records then out of box status field (Active/Inactive) makes sense to be put on the View. As an example, for “Active Accounts does not make sense to show status field since this is self-explanatory and applied at the filter level itself. The column space can be saved to add another relevant column.
Place generic fields such as Created On/ Modified On, Created By/Modified by towards the end of your View column definition. This…

*The formula is evaluated for each record of the table. Records that result in true are included in the result. Besides the normal formula operators, you can use the in and exactinoperators for substring matches.

Fields of the record currently being processed are available within the formula. You simply reference them by name as you would any other value. You can also reference control properties and other values from throughout your…

Scribe Online – Working with Hierarchical Data in Dynamics 365 CE

In the previous post, we saw how to create XML connection and using it as a source to create records in Dynamics 365 CE.

https://nishantrana.me/2019/01/11/scribe-online-xml-to-dynamics-365-ce/

In this post, we will see how to consume the hierarchical XML data as a source and create parent-child records in Dynamics 365 CE.

Suppose this is our source data with the following relationship

Contact à n Contract à n Asset à n Asset Line

As a first step we need to get the XSD for it, which we will use while defining the XML connection.

https://www.freeformatter.com/xsd-generator.html

Our XML connection

Similarly, add the CRM Connection.

This is how our final mapping will look like

For Query Contact Block (xml) à select Entity as Contact.

For the Include tab, we have selected all the child (tag) entities to be included.

For Create Contact (CRM) block we have mapped the first name and last name field

For For Each Child block select the relationship.

Followed by Create Contract block with following fields mapping.

Here we are setting the contact’s lookup in the contract entity using the Results from Contact Create steps.

Repeat the same steps for remaining child entities like Asset and Asset Line by selecting the relationship in for each child block and in the next create step setting the fields appropriately.
