SEARCH BY GUID IN DYNAMICS 365

Is it possible to search for a CRM record using its GUID ?

Well, NO it is not possible and YES it is possible!!!

As always has been, it is not possible to search for a record by its guid in Advanced Find and in the Quick view search.

However, in the model-driven app Edit filters functionality, it is possible to search for a record by its Guid.

How it works, let's check the 3 different places where we can search for a records.
  1. Advanced Find search
    Using the Advanced find feature, you cannot put a GUID value to search for. You will directly receive an error notification eventhough when you download the fetchXml, the Guid of the record will be there.
    Guid search 1

  2. Quick view search
    Using the search box on top of the view, you can enter a GUID value, but you will not have any data in the result since it will search for the guid value within the columns selected in the quick find view.
    Guid search 2

  3. Edit the view with advanced filter queries
    Using this functionality, you can search by GUID for a record and it will be automatically reflected in the search criteria if the record with the specified GUID exists in the table.
    Guid search 5

    Guid search 4

    Guid search 3

Hope This Helps!

DYNAMICS 365 REFERENCE PANEL

Image
Dynamics 365 product team is always working to improve and give the best user experience. Therefore, the continuous evolutions of the different areas and possibilities are one of the most critical things to bring. In this post, I will talk about one of these user experience improvements which is Reference Panel that was introduced with the Dynamics 365 V9. So what is exactly a Reference Panel? The Reference Panel is a type of section that can be added to the form that allows users to move across different types of sub grids and quick view controls in a single place without scrolling down or up. Let's take the example of the account form, where many quick view forms and sub grids exist inside (contacts, recent cases and opportunities...). When the users enter the form, they have to scroll up and down through the form in order to check the sub grids and their data which is sometimes annoying for them. ...
