Remarks

The SubArea element must contain a <Titles> (SiteMap) element or a valid Title attribute for the user language or a value for the ResourceId attribute.

For Dynamics 365 for Outlook, titles must be defined through the <Titles> (SiteMap) element, the Entity, or the ResourceId attribute value and must be unique within the parent group.

More than one instance of the same pages may occur. Therefore, you must make sure that each belongs to different combinations of clients and offline modes.

These changes affect the structure of Dynamics 365 for Outlook shortcuts and the Web client Go To menu.

The OutlookWorkstationClient Client attribute value refers to Dynamics 365 for Outlook.

The OutlookLaptopClient Client attribute value refers to Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Microsoft Office Outlook with Offline Access.

Example

The following shows an example of how to use the SubArea element.

<SubArea Id="nav_dashboard" PassParams="1" 
 Url="$webresource:MyIsv_/navDashboard.htm" >
 <Titles>
  <Title LCID="1033" Title="Dashboard" />
 </Titles>
</SubArea>

When referring to an HTML or Image Web Resource use the web resource directive and the HTML or Image Web Resource name. “$webresource:+ Web resource name.”. This creates a dependency so the HTML or Image Web Resource cannot be removed while the SubArea is referencing it.
