To use this saved view, you must remove criteria and columns that refer to deleted or non-searchable items error in CRM 2011

Hi,

Was working on Filtering Add Exiting Lookup and got the below error.

Here we need to make sure that we are referencing correct columns in the fetchxml and layoutxml while creating the view using JavaScript.

fetchXml: “<fetch
version=‘1.0‘
output-format=‘xml-platform‘
mapping=‘logical‘
distinct=‘false‘>” +

“<entity name=‘new_mycustomentity‘>” +

“<attribute name=‘new_customentityid‘ />” +

“<attribute name=‘new_name‘/>” +

“<order attribute=‘new_name‘ descending=‘false‘ />” +

“<filter type=‘and‘>” +

“<condition attribute=‘new_name‘ operator=‘like‘ value=‘%1%‘ />” +

“</filter>” +

“</entity>” +

“</fetch>“,

layoutXml: “<grid name=‘resultset‘ object=‘10001‘ jump=‘new_name‘
select=‘1‘ icon=‘1‘ preview=‘1‘>” +

“<row name=‘result‘ id=‘new_customentityid’>” + “<cell name=‘new_name‘ width=‘300‘ />” +

“</row>” +

“</grid>“,

Hope it helps.

As suggested restarted SharePoint Search Host Controller service. Stopped few services to release some memory. Nothing helped.

Finally followed these steps

Add a document to the library
Edit the properties of the document and save.
RESULT: The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again.
Enable ‘Manage content types’ in the library setting.
Add the ‘Link to a document’ content type.
Edit the properties of the document and save.
RESULT: Fixed

“This content cannot be displayed in a frame” error while hosting SharePoint 2013 pages in CRM

Hi,

I was getting the above error while trying to hosting the SharePoint 2013 online web part page inside an iframe within CRM’s Form.

The following post came to the rescue

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/officeapps/archive/2012/12/12/iframing-sharepoint-hosted-pages-in-apps.aspx

specifically the following tag

<WebPartPages:AllowFraming runat=”server” />

Hope it helps.

Searching SharePoint 2013 online portal from within CRM 2011 online

Open the SharePoint Site and create a custom Web Part Page using SharePoint Designer 2013

Edit the created page in Advanced Mode

Add the AllowFraming tag to the web part page to allow the page to be iframed from within CRM’s Form

Select preview in browser

Select Page à Edit Page

Add Search Web Parts

Search Box in the Header
Refinement in the Left Column
Search Results in the Body

Note the url of the Custom Search Page

https://xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/contoso/Search/SitePages/KBSearch.aspx

Now we can use the above url in the Iframe within our CRM. Here k would be the query string parameter to which search keyword would be passed. We can dynamically set the value of the parameter k through JavaScript in the onload of a particular entity’s form to display the corresponding results in the CRM.
