How to create a SettingsKey manually in CRM 2011

In some cases you may be asked to create a new settings key for one of our products. Mostly if we have developed a customization for you or should a special configuration be necessary.

Please follow the six easy steps below to create a new key.

1. Open your CRM in the Internet Explorer.

2. Navigate to "Settings"

-> "MSCRM-ADDONS.com Products" 

-> "[Productname]" (e.g. DocumentsCorePack, TelephoneIntegration)  

Note: You have to select the correct product for which the new key is intended!

-> "MSCRM-ADDONS.com Settings Keys 

3. Now you have to generate a new key.

 In the last window you have to set name of the key in the Name field and the value in the KeyValue field.

4. Now you can save and close the new created record.

NOTE: If the new key is intended for a client application like DocumentsCorePack or TelephoneIntegration you will have to restart the client application, otherwise the setting will not be applied to the client.
