Plugin on Retrieve Multiple in CRM 2015.

Recently we had a requirement to filter sub grid on one of the forms. We thought of using Plugin on Retrieve Multiple for this.

Here we were showing Opportunity Sub Grid on Account form.

So we created a view for Opportunity that will be used as Sub Grid. Used it as Related Record Sub Grid so that we can have the GUID of the Account record being passed to the plugin.

The problem we faced à Sorting and Paging stopped working for the Sub Grid.

Recently my friend called up for a requirement where they needed to show all contacts in customer hierarchy. Let me explain the scenario here before moving further

Suppose Account A is parent customer for Account B and Account B is the parent customer for Account C.

Add Find Columns to Lookup View in CRM.

Hi,

Recently we had a requirement to search based on a particular attribute within the lookup view. The initial thought was to add a Find Columns to the lookup view. But then realized we do not have option of adding Find Columns to the lookup view.

The next thought was if I add that particular field to the list of Find Columns in Quick Find view will it work in Lookup View also? And it worked, basically adding any fields in the Find Column will make it Searchable.

The search works properly in the Lookup View as well as Lookup Inline View.
