- 10. • • • • • • Stored in the CRM db and linked to record Attachments are made in the Notes field Only 1 file can be stored per note No search capabilities No version control Limited collaboration options Best Practice is to use this option when there are a smaller number of records needing contextual documents and no requirement for versioning, broad search or deep document collaboration. 9
- 11. • Rich Content Management, full version control • Site Collection level security for each entity if required. Keep intranet users from collaborating with CRM document storage • Permission Management outside of CRM • Non CRM users can get access to documents. • Docs are searchable through SharePoint Search interface.

By default, document management is enabled only for these entities in a new installation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Literature Kb Article Sales Lead Quote Opportunity Product Best Practice is to use this option when there are a MANY records, your team requires versioning or search or deep document collaboration.

- 20. • You could easily create a SharePoint list of all of your CRM Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities or Projects in your CRM system. • Use an ECT list as a reference for creating a SharePoint search on your other software databases, like Microsoft Dynamics GP or your staffing software ! • Search results from the CRM database can present a security concern. To security trim these results, you will need to create and implement a custom security trimmer to the Search Service application. 19
- 21. Problem Observations/Issues Recommendations Cannot open iFrame • User received the message: "This content cannot be displayed in an iFrame" • Add CRM and SharePoint to Trusted Sites • Check ‘Display Mixed Content” in security zone • If SharePoint is on a separate domain, Sign into your SharePoint site Users in SP can search and discover all CRM documents • Search returns links to the CRM document repository to all users Performance Issues as volume increases • Backups taking forever • Add a User Policy for the web application hosting the documents • Use security groups in all sites and libraries that hold CRM documents • Logins and user permissions taking longer than expected • Segregate CRM documents into their own DB, Web App, Site Collection. 20
- 22. Area Recommendations Security • Secure your SharePoint Document Libraries • Create a CRM Document Storage Site Collection on its own database • Use Cross Site Publishing to another branded site collection • Create a Web Application level User Policy Structure • Document Libraries should contain Managed Metadata columns. You should either automatically assign Metadata to the documents or have the user entered it. This way if you expose the documents outsite of CRM, they can be more easily filtered, rather than using the default folders. • Use security groups in all sites and libraries that hold CRM documents 21
