This covers how to configure the Melissa Express Entry solution (ver. 1.5.1.16 or later) for Dynamics CRM in order to support custom mappings for fields and custom entities. This will help you to map the autocomplete address fields on out of box entities to different fields.

Navigate to Configuration

1. Begin by navigating to the configuration screen. If you need more details on locating the configuration screen, see the Configuration tutorial.

Navigate to Configuration

If a mapping has already been established for a particular entity, the fields should automatically be populated with the previous values.

The names should be the exact names that are assigned in Dynamics. These names can be viewed in the Fields section for that particular entity in your default solution.

After the field names have been filled in, please click the Save Mapping button to save your settings.

Search for md_ee_autocomplete


Add Event Handlers

10. Once the web resources have been added to the form, the necessary event handlers will need to be added. Click the Add button in the lower section of the Form Properties.
