How to set up Configuration Page of Solution in CRM 2011

As you all know, the new concept called 'Solution' which bundles the components was introduced in CRM 2011. In Solution, it is possible to set up a configuration page. Following are some of the possible options to make use of Configuration Page.

1. Branding.

2. Product Details

3. Advanced functionalities ( eg: Contract renewal ,validation etc )



The configuration page should be an HTML page. It must be uploaded to web resources. But remember you could refer other web resources from the HTML Page, which is a very good feature. For instance, if you need to display an image as a cool branding idea, you could upload the image to Web resources and then refer it from the HTML page.

Sample HTML:
<HTML>
<BODY contentEditable=true>
<P align=center>Contract Renewal</P>
<TABLE cellPadding=3>
<TBODY>
<TR><IMG src="alfapen.jpg"></IMG></TR>
<TR>
<TD align=right>Please Enter your Product Key<INPUT type=textbox name=license></TD>
<TD></TD>
<TD><button type="button">Continue</button></TD>
<TR>
</TBODY></TABLE></BODY></HTML>


In the above code the image is referred from the Web resources. There is a sample button on this html page. The logic (contract renewal, validation etc.) could be implemented for the click event of the button as per your idea. Or you could simply display the image or product details for branding

Well, look at the sky and that is the limit ! You could try some cool branding ideas which would make your solution Configuration page more attractive.

Here is a sample Configuration page.
