After embedding SmartBar (via the MainPage.html) into a CRM form or dashboard, a CRM view based button for CRM 2015/16 can be created. Such a button shows the number of records related to the selected view. A click on the button navigates you to this view. This step-by-step tutorial outlines how this is done quick and easy.

1) Please make sure that SmartBar has been embedded via the MainPaige.html into a CRM form or dashboard.
