Event Listner 2011

This utility allows you to view what happens if you perform an action in CRM. The solution can track all plugin events allowing custom steps. Every time the event occurs a record is created in CRM containing all information available on the Plugin Execution context. You can select specific messages optionally filtered by entity but also have the option to register to all available messages.

This utility is packaged in a single managed solution and can be run on any CRM environment. CRM On-Premise, Hosted and CRM Online are fully supported.

The outlook client should also be supported in offline mode but has not been tested. To use the event listner in offline mode first register the events to track on the server, next synchronize the outlook client with the server, ensure the Event Entries entity is available on the client and the user has sufficient privileges. When the client returns online the event entries recorded while the client was offline should be send to the server.
