Recently we were working on a requirement wherein we wanted to add a hyperlink to the Notification that we were showing on the form.
For this we can use the following Jscript library

For inviting existing contact records as user of the portal we can follow the below steps.
Open an existing contact record and click on Create Invitation button
This creates the invitation record along with the invitation code.
Select and run the Send Invitation workflow.
The steps for the workflow are as below.
The contact\user receives the link for the confirmation
Clicking on the link opens the portal wherein user\contact can redeem the Invitation Code and Register.
User can set up username and password during registration.
Once registered user can access the portal and update the profile further and can also change the password, email etc.
The Contact record in CRM gets updated accordingly.
Hope it helps..

We were getting the strange getRequiredLevel is not a function error while creating a new record (in New Form Rendering)
After debugging, we figured out that it was failing for the following field “mapcontrollink”.
We commented out the entire section and imported it back (unsupported). This fixed the issue.
Strangely enough we couldn’t find that field in the Vanilla version, in our case it is the upgraded environment so that could be reason of having that extra field.
Hope it helps..

While creating a new organization using Deployment Manager we got the below message
It was because we had entered the Workgroup Product key which restricts it to only organization.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh699677.aspx
Changing the product key to the server one, allowed creating the new organizations.
Hope it helps..
