Connections entity - Audit menu missing

We have migrated a CRM 2011 successfully to Dynamics 365, Version 9. We have determined that the audit history for connections is not present in the UI.

Is it because the connection form is still in CRM 2011 style (out-of-the-box)? If so, where do you find the connection audit history?

Auditing is enabled in CRM, on the connection entity and also some fields are configured for auditing.

Solution

  • I would assume this is expected behavior & working as per design in various CRM versions.

    Connection entity Form editor showing left navigation with "Audit History" menu.

    enter image description here

    Actual Connection form rendering is not showing the left navigation. I remember this was the case with CRM 2011 form also.

    If you want to show the "Audit history" explicitly, you can always go for some unsupported solution like discussed here.

    Keep an iframe & point the url something like this: (Obviously you have to script to parameterize it)

    https://devcrm.crm.dynamics.com/userdefined/areas.aspx?formid=52078acf-77c4-4e18-86b8-ebffcafc0698&inlineEdit=1&navItemName=Audit History&oId={3877A32E-EA20-E911-A952-000D3A34E213}&oType=3234&pagemode=iframe&rof=true&security=852023&tabSet=areaAudit&theme=Outlook15White

    Code from the above UG discussion link:

    function buildIframeSource() {
            var url = window.parent.Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();
            var recordId = window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId().replace("{", "").replace("}", "");
            var element = document.getElementById("areaAuditFrame");
            element.src = url + "/userdefined/areas.aspx?formid=52078acf-77c4-4e18-86b8-ebffcafc0698&inlineEdit=1&navItemName=Audit%20History&oId=%7b" + recordId + "%7d&oType=10270&pagemode=iframe&rof=true&security=852023&tabSet=areaAudit&theme=Outlook15White";
        };
