    <p>I've created a nice chart but there's one thing missing. I'd like to be able to set a text somewhere in it. The optimal solution would be e.g. the current date smacked in huge yellow letters right in the middle of my graph.</p> <p>I've googled for such a thing but none of the links (<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crm/archive/2010/10/20/microsoft-dynamics-crm-dashboards-for-techies.aspx" rel="nofollow">proof that I've googled #1</a>, <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crm/archive/2011/01/04/crm-2011-charts-know-the-real-potential-part-i.aspx" rel="nofollow">proof that I've googled #2</a>) gave any hints on whether it's possible or not. In fact, the mock-up image in the second link <strong>would</strong> be something for me if the descriptions and arrows weren't drawn afterwards in an image processor.</p> <p>NB. It's not a report at all. It's just a chart - a single, lonely chart - that displays values of a couple of series. I get to control the appearance, the legend etc. However, I'd like to put a floating text object (DIV formatable by CSS would be perfect), sprite, overlay, call it whatever you'd like, that will get its value from a given field (e.g. the current date).</p> <p>And if I can position it freely anywhere over the graph, that'd be even "perfecter" but I'd settle for placement on form "top-right" or such. Alternatively, if there's an option to combine two "views" on top of each other or anything like that (I'm beating around the bushes with this).</p> <p>Is that achievable and if so how?</p>

    3. COI've tried to do that, as promised. But I failed. Not saying there isn't a way. Just saying it's not very commonly requested nor applied by anybody. Can that be done by IFRAME and/or likage to an external resource?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
