With the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Connector, you can integrate data between Microsoft Dynamics CRM and other enterprise applications, Web Services, XML data sources, legacy systems and simple and complex flat- tiles. Whether your connection is with cloud, mobile or on premise software applications, you will be able to integrate quickly with a wizard-driven interface.
Configuring CRM Dynamics 365 in ICI
To integrate ICI with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 365:
You can configure ICI Solution only after you have installed Microsoft Dynamics CRM Connector. For more information about ICI App installation in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Connector, see Configuring CRM Dynamics 365 in ICI.
To configure the ICI Solution:
1. Click the Settings icon in the top-right corner and navigate to Solutions.
2. Click ICISolution on All Solutions page. The ICI Solution Components page opens.
3. Click Configuration from the left navigation pane. The ICI Setting page opens.
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:

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.
1. Click the Advanced button at the right of the search toolbar 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 Refine Search here field.
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.
4. Specify the Advanced Parameters as follows:
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.
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:
Multi-Select Attribute

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.
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.
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.
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.
To enable/disable entity configurations:
1. Click the Settings drop-down and navigate to Solutions.
2. Click ICISolution on All Solutions page. The ICI Solution Components page opens in a new window.
3. Click Configuration from the left navigation pane. The ICI Setting page opens.
4. Click the + plus icon next to “Entity Configurations” section. The expanded section is displayed.
The following changes have been introduced to the configuration:
You can now disable the “New Contract”, “New Request” buttons by unselecting the checkbox under “Entity Configurations” on the “ICI Setting” page. This ensures that the “New Contract” and “New Request” buttons are not displayed on the “Opportunity” page.
