Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Visio Stencil Set - Part 4

Simon Phillips, 14 December 2010

If you have read my other 3 blogs you will know that I am currently building a CRM 2011 Visio Stencil Set you will also know all about the features and controls that I have added to all the different field types and side navigation items that I have already built.

In this blog I am going to go over what I have done in the area known as the ribbon, if you have looked into what changes have been made between CRM 4.0 and CRM 2011 you will know that the biggest change between the two is the Microsoft style ribbon that is used throughout the various Microsoft applications now.

The above image is taken from CRM 2011 to show you what it looks like for those of you who haven’t seen it yet. This will be the main area in which you will use to work with each entity or record that you are working with.

The second image is what I offer you with the CRM 2011 Visio Stencil Set not much of a difference, with the stencils you can completely edit how this looks and feels. This includes adding removing and renaming any of the items.

To add a new ribbon item drag either a large or small ribbon item onto the page, on drop it will ask you to choose an existing item to select or at the bottom of the list you can select a new item.

If you are liking what I have done so far please comment and let me know or if you have any ideas of other things that you would like to see in these stencils please also leave a comment, and for more about the Visio stencils wait for my next blog where I am going to show you how I pieced it all together.
