Hi,

When we have relationship between two entities, the child entity link add to the left navigation of parent.

For example,

• “Contacts” link add to the left navigation of “Accounts”

The view we call it as “Associate View” and it contains buttons with below naming convention

• “Add {Display name of child}” (i.e., “Add Contact” in above screen)
• “Add Existing {Display name of child}” (i.e., “Add Existing Contact” in above screen)

To rename the “Add & Add existing” buttons below are the steps

• Create a new solution
• Add child entity (i.e., Contact) in above example
• Export & Save solution in local folder
• Extract folder and open “Customizations.XML” in Visual Studio
• Find <RibbonDiffXml><CustomActions> node
• Add below XML

          <CustomAction Id=”Mscrm.SubGrid.{Entity Name}.AddNewStandard.CustomAction” Location=”Mscrm.SubGrid.{Entity Name}.AddNewStandard” Sequence=”210″>

<CommandUIDefinition>

<!–New Button Id – AddNewStandard; Existing Button Id – AddExistingStandard–>

<Button Id=”Mscrm.SubGrid.{Entity Name}.AddNewStandard”

Command=”Mscrm.AddNewRecordFromSubGridStandard”

Sequence=”20″

LabelText=”My Custom Text”

Alt=”My Custom Text”
