In our previous blog of the \u2018Controls in Dynamics 365 for Mobile App\u2019 series, we discussed Input Mask Control<\/a> which enabled users to add a predefined format for error free phone number entry by mobile and tablet users. Today, let us discuss Multimedia Control.<\/p>\n How Multimedia Control can be useful for users?<\/strong><\/p>\n It is extremely important for a Sales Person to be prepared at all times. When a customer schedules an appointment to discuss about a particular product, rather than searching for the demo or explainer video about the product, you can use the Multimedia Control to add the related video in the respective CRM Record.<\/p>\n Note: Multimedia Control only supports Single Line of Text field type with format as URL.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Let us see an example where a Sales Person wants to add a video to a particular Product Form for an appointment later in the day:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Create a Single Line of Text field \u2018Product Demo\u2019 and set the format as URL as shown in the screenshot below;<\/p>\n 4. Select the created field \u2018Product Demo\u2019 and click on Change Properties and then select controls from Field Properties to Add Control, as seen in the screenshot below;<\/p>\n 8. Open the Product record where you want to add the video and add the URL of the product demo video as seen below;<\/p>\n Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n Multimedia Control is useful to add video or audio in CRM records on Mobile app. This control can be useful for a Sales Person who has different appointments regarding different product enquiries. He can easily add the product demo videos in the respective Product record and be well prepared for his appointments.<\/p>\n Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, and Turkish \u2013 Map analytics within Dynamics 365\/CRM now in language of your choice!\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In our previous blog of the \u2018Controls in Dynamics 365 for Mobile App\u2019 series, we discussed Input Mask Control which enabled users to add a predefined format for error free phone number entry by mobile and tablet users.
