Manage portal content (Dynamics CRM 2013)

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013

Developer Extensions for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 provide content management capabilities for portal applications. Microsoft Dynamics CRM stores all relevant content for the web portal in custom CRM entities, and this content is managed, supplied, and cached by the Developer Extension binaries referenced in your portal code. The base portal solution must be installed to see these entities in CRM. More information: Install the base portal solution
