Normally we download the Microsoft dynamics CRM SDK from Microsoft  website until Microsoft Dynamics 365 version 9.0.

From Version 9.0 we have two options to download the SDK

1) Using the visual studio Nuget package manager

2)  using the Powershell:

I am gonna show how  to download it on to the local folder.

First create a folder in your local computer
Drive : D
Folder: Tool

So the path would be D:/Tools

Search for the “Powershell” on your computer start menu..
Change the directory to desired directory using cd..
  cd D:Tools

Copy the powershell script from Microsoft website

$sourceNugetExe = “https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/latest/nuget.exe”
$targetNugetExe = “.nuget.exe”
Remove-Item .Tools -Force -Recurse -ErrorAction Ignore
Invoke-WebRequest $sourceNugetExe -OutFile $targetNugetExe
Set-Alias nuget $targetNugetExe -Scope Global -Verbose

Today i am going to show how to customize the color for a Subgrid on the “Account” Entity.

Let’s gets started..

Go to Dynamics 365 > Settings > Customization > Customize the system

Select the Account Entity Main form and double click on the contact subgrid on the Account form.

Pop up will come up like the below image and then make the changes as explained below:

On the “Name” section – Panel header color = give it any hexadecimal color to it, in this example
i am going to change “red” color and its hexadecimal color code is  #FF0000

Click ok, save the form and click publish customization.


To check the changes, Open the Account Record and you will see the Subgrid color changed to “Red”.

Finally the subgrid color has been changed on the Account Record  to “red” color..

I hope this help
