Sample Documentation
Sample of Forms - Forms.xlsx
Sample of Scripts - scripts.xlsx
Sample of Picklist - PickLists.xlsx
Installation
The add-in will run on Office 2007/2010 Excel (with Visual Studio Tools for Office (3.0))
Extract the installation files and run Setup.exe - it will attempt to install any prerequisites.
Once the setup completes, Start Excel.
The first time Excel runs with the add-in, you will be presented with a customization installation message - choose "Install."
Usage
Open the Add-Ins ribbon, press the load button to load your XML, then press the "Forms" button.
Once you've created a "Forms" documentation spreadsheet, open a new blank spreadsheet and click the "Scripts" button, and then repeat with the "Picklists" button.

Functionality
This tools generates documentation from an exported CRM 4.0 XML customizations file:
- Forms - including Tabs, Sections, Field Names, Types and Descriptions
- Picklists - List Picklist Field Names, Text and numeric Values for Picklists on a form
- Scripts - Extract the scripts associated with the Form/Attributes on the form. (This is still a work in progress)
Changes from 3.0 version
- Updated for CRM 4.0 Schema
- Included 'Description' field and 'Advanced Find' Label in Forms Export
- Only picklists actually on the published form get generated
- Improved Script export - It's still a bit rough, but improving.
- Opens customization zip file (4.0-style)
- Updated logo to new Dynamics logo. - very important! :)
- Setup Project installs prerequisites (.net 3.5, VSTO, Office 2007 PIA)
- Documents strings according to CRM Base Language - (The language id in XML file header can be changed to create documentation in other languages.)
