Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook Installation Instructions for use with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online
Version 5.6.0
Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Microsoft Office Outlook enables access to the same data through Microsoft Office Outlook as the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Web client. Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook is targeted at Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online users who need access to CRM data while they are using the familiar Microsoft Outlook application.
After you install and configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook, an individual user can use it to access Microsoft Dynamics CRM data. If a computer is shared by several users (that is, each user has a separate logon account and is a valid Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online user), you must configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook by running Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook configuration for each user.
You can install Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook with offline capability. A user who has this capability installed can access Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online data when they are not connected to the LAN. You can add offline capability at either of the following times:
-
During installation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook.
-
After installation has completed. In this case, a user can add offline capability by clicking Go Offline in Microsoft Outlook. This starts the installation of additional required components and stores a copy of the user’s Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online data locally. Subsequent offline sessions require no additional installations, but may require updating the local copy of the user’s data.
