Add new or existing solution components

Can I do this task?

This procedure guides you through creating an unmanaged solution For those with a required security role, an unmanaged solution has no restrictions on adding, deleting, updating, testing, importing, or exporting solution components. A solution is developed as an unmanaged solution. This differs from a managed solution, where you cannot add or remove components., and adding new or existing components to it. Components can be created in the customization area of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, or can be developed outside of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. For more information about developing solutions, see the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK.

2. Under Customization, click Solutions.
3. On the Actions toolbar, click New.

When you create new solution components, you can choose what level of customization you will allow for each. Managed properties are set for a solution component while the solution is unmanaged. The managed properties take effect only after the solution is packaged (exported) as a managed solution and installed in another organization. for each component that you are adding, click Managed Properties.
