Microsoft Feature Wish List: Editable Grids in Adxstudio Portals for Dynamics CRM

When Microsoft acquired Adxstudio, it gained a powerful and flexible portal for Dynamics CRM. A portal is essential for interacting with users outside your organization, such as customers, partners, suppliers and others.

My wishlist feature for today is an editable grid to allow users to easily add or edit multiple detail records from a web page. For instance, it is handy to allow a grantee for Microsoft Grants Manager Plus to create a project budget and enter multiple budget line items from a single page.

Please correct me if this feature has been added since I last looked, or you have seen it in the Microsoft roadmap.

For profit companies will lose some privacy as a result of this law. Grant recipients will be required to disclose information including officer salaries.

Continued improvements to publishing grant opportunities such as grants.gov may make it easier to find grants. These reforms together are designed to improve the effectiveness of grant prog…
