The Social Pane: Filtering Activities in CRM 2016

Post Author: Joe D365 |

In Dynamics CRM 2016 there is a little known enhancement to the activity controls on the Social Pane that gives users the ability to filter on various activity types. In today's blog, we'll be focusing in that new enhancement, but first, if you haven't already, check out our previous blog, Surfacing Activities on Records in Dynamics CRM: The Social Pane vs. Sub-Grids.

When you navigate to any record with the Social Pane and click on the Activities tab, you will see the new filter icon before "See the records associated with this view." When you click on the filter icon, you can filter on specific activity types or view all. This gives you a view of the exact activity types you're looking for rather than a mix of everything.

Here are a few examples:

  1. I wonder why when any type of activity (Appointment, Phone call, Emails...) is unchecked, the Case Resolution activities will also be filtered out from the activity list..
