Tools

Tiny tools for annoyingly specific CRM problems.

Free, and not crippled to sell you something. A tool that solves your problem completely is the point; if a product fits the larger version of that problem, it is mentioned afterwards.

Available now

  • Error decoder

    Paste a Dataverse or Dynamics CRM error and get what it means, what to do, and the Microsoft sources behind the answer. Nothing you paste leaves the page.

    Runs in your browser

  • Solution component type decoder

    Turn a component type number from a dependency or solution component record into what it is, from Microsoft's published list and the CRM 2011 and 2016 SDKs.

    Runs in your browser

  • Plug-in stage and mode explorer

    Choose a stage, mode and message to see when a step runs, whether it is in the transaction, what an exception rolls back, and which images it gets.

No sign-in, nothing sent

Every tool here works in your browser. None of them asks you to sign in or connect to your environment, and none sends what you type or paste. When the error decoder doesn't recognise an error, it offers search and Ask links that carry a short excerpt with IDs and URLs removed, and nothing leaves the page unless you follow one.
