Connection Manager (Hosted Control)

The Connection Manager hosted control type manages connections to Microsoft Dataverse, and makes it available to the rest of the agent application. An instance of this hosted control is required by Unified Service Desk, and only a single instance of this hosted control type must exist in your agent application.

Important

The three sample application packages for Unified Service Desk, New Environment, CRM Web Client, and Interactive Service Hub, come preconfigured with an instance each of the Connection Manager hosted control type. For information about the sample applications, see Deploy sample Unified Service Desk applications to CRM server using Package Deployer.
