Attributes and Elements

The following table lists the attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute	Description	Type	Usage
Color	Specifies a color scheme for the group. Valid values include: None DarkBlue LightBlue Teal Orange Green Magenta Yellow Purple	Enumeration	Optional
Command	Specifies the ID of the ribbon command for this control.	String	Optional
ContextualGroupId	A string that identifies the contextual group, such as Mscrm.VisualizationTools.	String	Optional
Id	Specifies a unique identifier for the definition of a ribbon element. The strongly recommended naming convention is to use a period to separate the parts of the name like so: [solution identifier].[entity].[ribbon].[function].[element name]. For example: MyISV.account.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button. Use the {!EntityLogicalName} token in the Id attribute when you define a ribbon element that will be used for multiple entities. This inserts the entity logical name into the Id value to make sure that the Id value is globally unique. For example, if you use MyISV.{!EntityLogicalName}.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button with the account entity, the Id will be MyISV.account.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button. For the contact entity, the Id will be MyISV.contact.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button. Important If you don’t set a globally unique Id value, the ribbon might not display.	String	Required
Sequence	Specify the location of the ribbon modification by setting the Sequence value higher or lower than existing ribbon elements.	Integer	Optional
Title	This element is not used in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.	String	Optional

Child Elements

Element	Description
<Tab> (RibbonDiffXml)	Specifies a tab in the ribbon.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
<CommandUIDefinition> (RibbonDiffXml)	Specifies the visible Ribbon elements to be included within a CustomAction element.

Remarks

When you export a ContextualGroup that you have previously defined you may see that the ContextualGroup and any <Tab> (RibbonDiffXml) elements that it contains are refactored into separate <CustomAction> (RibbonDiffXml) elements. This is due to the way that Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update stores the data in the database. It does not change the behavior of the original definition.

For example, if you define a <CustomAction> (RibbonDiffXml) to add a ContextualGroup as shown in the following pseudo code snippet:

<CustomAction Location='Mscrm.ContextualGroups._children' >   <CommandUIDefinition>      <ContextualGroup Id='CG1'>         <Tab Id='T1'>...</Tab>         <Tab Id='T2'>...</Tab>      </ContextualGroup>   </CommandUIDefinition></CustomAction>

When you later export customizations including this definition, you should expect that the definition will appear as shown in the following pseudo code snippet:

<CustomAction Location='Mscrm.ContextualGroups._children' >   <CommandUIDefinition>      <ContextualGroup Id='CG1' />   </CommandUIDefinition></CustomAction><CustomAction Location='CG1._children'>   <CommandUIDefinition>      <Tab Id='T1'>...</Tab>   </CommandUIDefinition></CustomAction><CustomAction Location='CG1._children'>   <CommandUIDefinition>      <Tab Id='T2'>...</Tab>   </CommandUIDefinition></CustomAction>
