== Saving a Search ==

&nbsp;
  
If you have the search criteria defined and need to use it repeatedly, it is recommended to save the search. To configure Saved Search, we need some Data mapping which includes CRM Account and Opportunity ID (which is 18 digit of alphanumeric reference value). Hence, when defining the mapping of a CRM Opportunity with Contract Request, create a field/Attribute in that Contract Request that will hold the CRM Opportunity Id. You can similarly create an Attribute for the Account ID reference. After creating these required mappings, you can use the Saved Search.

4. The following text boxes are available on this page, which can be set as per the requirement:
  • Client Type: It is the name of the client that will be mapped with ICI. This value does not require any changes.  *Version: It is the ICI version mapped with CRM.  *Base URL: It is the URL of the ICI instance that is mapped with CRM.  *Context URL: It is the specific URL of the ICI instance using which ICI application can be accessed through CRM. This URL is used to display the ICI user interface in CRM.  *API URL: It is the specific URL of the ICI API. 
The following are names of the APIs to validate the token to authenticate the user accessing ICI APIs. These values do not require any changes.
  • Validate User Token API 
  • Execute Saved Search URL 
  • Get Config URL
  • Quick Contract URL
  • API Key
  • Create Contract Caption: This field defines the title/header of the Create Contract page in CRM.

    • All: Selecting this option logs all the information as well as the errors thrown by the system.

Quick Create Configurations

1. Click the plus icon next to Quick Create Configurations if you have enabled creating the Contract with a single-click. 
 
RTENOTITLE
 
2. Type or select the information in the following fields. 
  • Button Label: Type the text that you want to view as the button label in Contract or Contract Request sections when creating a Contract or Contract Request with a single-click.
  • Active: Select this checkbox to enable the button in the Contract or Contract Request section. Only the buttons selected as Active will be available in the ICI section on the CRM user interface.
  • Button Type: Select Contract or Contract Type from this drop-down based on your requirement. This is a drop-down just to specify the button type.
  • Select Entities: Type and select the entities from this field where you want to make this button available.
  • Select Action: Select the action you want the system to perform after clicking Quick Contract.
    You can select one of the following actions:
    • Create: Select this option to only create the Contract. The Contract is not visible to anyone until it is published. You (primary owner) can only make necessary changes to the Contract. If you have selected button type as Contract Request you can only create it and not perform any other action. 
    • Create and Publish: Select this option to create and publish the Contract. After publishing, other users with adequate privileges can take actions on the Contract.
    • Create and Send for Approval: Select this option to create and send the Contract for Approval. 
  • Contract Type: It is the unique name of the Contract Type in ICI that you want to create with a single-click.
  • Delete: Select this button to delete the row from this page which also removes the button from the user interface.

 

Enabling Single Sign-On 

You need to setup single sign-on for CRM to work seamlessly with ICI. For more information about setting up single sign-on refer to:
https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/microsoftdynamicscrmsolutions/archive/2016/11/11/sso-configuration-for-crm-portal 

Working with Saved Searches 

You can use the Advanced Search option to search for existing entities. You can save these searches and pin them as Favorites for easy access. Saved searches can be opened for easy access to the search results.

Performing a Search to Save

1. Click the Search tile at the top right corner on My Dashboard page. The Advanced Search page opens. 
2. In the Please select Entities to Search field, enter or select appropriate entities from the list and type the keywords to search in the Enter Search here field.

 
 RTENOTITLE
 
3. Select from each of the following options: 
  • Metadata: the search is performed in the metadata of the selected Agreement. 
  • Full Text: the search is performed within the contents of the document of the selected Agreement.
4. After selecting either of the above options, click the Search icon. The list of search results is displayed. 
5. To refine your search further, navigate to the Search For field. Click Select Field and select an option from the list displayed. The number in the bracket indicates the number of items available containing that search term. You can select multiple options. For example, selecting the field Status displays the number of Agreements that have the Status as Draft, Approved, Terminated, Superseded and so on. If you select the status as Draft (select the checkbox next to Draft), all Agreements in Draft state are displayed.
6. A list of these Agreements is displayed as the search result in a tabular format. Enhance your search using wild cards as follows:
•    Type a search term in between the star characters *...*. It displays the existing items which include the respective search term.
•    Type *...Prefix* to a search term. It displays the existing items which end with this term.
•    Type *...Suffix * to a search term. It displays the existing items which start with this term.
•    Type a search term in double quotes "...". It displays the existing items which include the search term.
•    Type...(space)... multiple search terms with a space in between. It displays the existing items which include the search terms.

 

Saving a Search

If you have the search criteria defined and need to use it repeatedly, it is recommended to save the search. To configure Saved Search, we need some Data mapping which includes CRM Account and Opportunity ID (which is 18 digit of alphanumeric reference value). Hence, when defining the mapping of a CRM Opportunity with Contract Request, create a field/Attribute in that Contract Request that will hold the CRM Opportunity Id. You can similarly create an Attribute for the Account ID reference. After creating these required mappings, you can use the Saved Search. To save the search: 1. Click the Save icon. This opens the Save Search window. Set the parameters for this Saved Search.
2. Type the name for the search. Use a name that you can easily associate with this search.
3. Click Yes to make it a global search. This allows all users of the selected Security Groups and Organization units to view it. Select No to save this search locally so that it will only be visible to the person creating it.

Note: Only the Administrator can save global searches. 

4. Specify the Advanced Parameters as follows: 

RTENOTITLE
 
Note
•    A search defined as a Smart Link cannot be set as a Dashboard tile. 
•    For a global search, the Administrator needs to create a Security Group and give access to the specific users. Only those users can see that Saved Search in the list and add it as a Dashboard tile. 

Updating Saved Search Configuration 

With this feature, the CRM Administrator can map any of the entity level or parent level Attribute for executing Saved Search provided the Saved Search is created in ICI as per the Attribute configured in CRM.
If you do not configure the Attribute in CRM, the Saved Search is executed based on the CRM record System ID. The Contracts or Contract Requests will be retrieved from ICI to CRM provided the saved search in ICI is configured.

Mapping Data between ICI and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Connector

Use the Configuration tile in the ICI application to specify the mapping details between CRM and ICI. Data Mapping involves the following two primary tasks:

  • Creating Masterdata Contract Type
  • Creating Masterdata records for mapping entities 

Support for different Attribute Types

Multi-Select Attribute

  • This enables in creating an Agreement in CRM that contains multi-select Attributes.
  • When you select multiple attributes in CRM for the Contract, it must be mapped with the multi-select fields in ICI.

Lookup Attribute

  • This enables creating an Agreement in CRM that contains Lookup Attributes.
  • When you select lookup attributes in CRM for the Contract, it must be mapped with the appropriate Masterdata record in ICI.

File Attachment 

  • This enables creating an Agreement in CRM with attachments added in the Notes section.
  • When you add an attachment to an Agreement created in CRM, it must be mapped with the appropriate Association added to the Agreement in ICI. The files in the Notes section are mapped to the File Selection Attribute in Agreement.

 

Creating a Masterdata Contract Type

1. Log on to the ICI application. 
2. Click Configuration > Create Contract Type on ICI Dashboard.

7.12 Salesforce ICM 03.PNG

The Select Contract Type page opens displaying the following options: 

  • Agreement
  • Associated Document 
  • Masterdata
  • Contract Request

4. Select Masterdata on the Select Contract Type page and click Next. The Create Contract Type page opens displaying the following five sections:

  • Details 
  • Attributes
  • Display Preference
  • Team
  • Verify Details

Enter the following information on this page: 

  • Contract Type Name: Type the name in this field as Client App Entity Mapping. This Contract Type is used for mapping entities between ICI and CRM. 
  • Contract Type Code: Every Contract Type is assigned a unique ID known as the Contract Type code. It is auto-generated when you create the Contract Type. 
  • Enable Approval Workflow: Select Yes to enable the approval workflow. 
  • Two Column Attribute Layout: Select Yes to enable a two-column Attribute layout.  Attributes

5.  Click the plus icon and create the following Attributes in ICI because the integration between CRM and ICI is restricted to the use of these Attributes only. 

  • Name
  • ICI Entity Name
  • Client Entity Name
  • ICI Attribute Name

    • Client to ICI: Select this option if you want the data mapping from CRM to ICI. If you create the Agreement from CRM, the respective CRM entity value will populate in the ICI attribute. When you want to create or update the data from CRM to ICI, ensure that you select the flow as Client to ICI.
    • ICI to Client: Select this option if you want the data mapping to happen from ICI to CRM. 
    • Both: Select this option if you want to use the same mapping for data flow from ICI to CRM and CRM to ICI.
  • Enable Sync: Select Yes if you want the data mapping to synchronize the data from CRM to ICI. This option works only if you select the data flow as Client to ICI.
  • Contract Events: It is used to synchronize data from ICI to CRM. You can enter the events that happen in the Contract lifecycle such as Created, Approved, and Executed.

11. Click Save to save the Masterdata record and enable mapping between ICI and CRM.

Single-click creation of ICI Contracts and Contract Requests from within Microsoft Dynamics CRM

ICI integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM now enables creating an ICI Contract through Microsoft Dynamics CRM with a single-click. Till now, when creating an ICI Contract in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, the user was required to go through the entire New Contract creation wizard even if all the form values were pre-filled based on the existing CRM data. With this enhancement, you can now configure and enable the Quick Create button on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM interface to create an ICI Contract without having to navigate through multiple form pages. A similar single-click creation capability has also been added to the ICI Contract Request in Microsoft Dynamics CRM integration.

Support for synchronizing additional Attributes in ICI

ICI integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is now enhanced with support for the following entities, provided the appropriate mapping configuration is present in ICI: *Multi-select and Lookup Attributes: When a user is required to select multiple or lookup values for a particular field in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, they are mapped and synchronized to the corresponding multi-select or lookup fields in ICI. *File Attachment: Now, user has the ability of synchronizing the documents (in all ICI supported file formats) from the Notes section of Microsoft Dynamics CRM to ICI, on creation of a Contract from Microsoft Dynamics CRM. This can be achieved by creating appropriate mapping to the available file type attributes in ICI.

Increased flexibility to configure ICI Contract and Contract Request lists within Microsoft Dynamics CRM entities 

With this release, Microsoft Dynamics CRM administrator can configure the list of Contracts and Contract Requests displayed in Microsoft Dynamics CRM entities like Opportunity, Accounts etc., on the basis of other custom attributes, for example, Region, Country etc., rather than the Microsoft Dynamics CRM system ID. If a specific criterion is not provided, the list of Contracts or Contract Requests will be filtered on the basis of Microsoft Dynamics CRM system ID by default.


Configuration for allowing user to start or stop redirecting to ICI iframe in CRM

With this release, CRM administrator can now allow the user to stay on the Agreement Details page in CRM after creating the Agreement. This enables the user in avoiding to navigate through the CRM user interface to access the Agreement that was created. The CRM administrator can configure the Allow Redirect field on the Configuration page in CRM.
