CRM 2011 No scroll bar with wide customized form

This blog will show you how to have scroll bars for the customized tab.

The Initial design for an example is below:

 

Insert a two column tab in a form

Add a section to each column

Format each section to have 4 columns

Add fields to the columns

Save and Publish

clip_image001

 

This produces a broken form with no scroll bar:

clip_image001[5]

 

When you open the form the columns on the left will not be visible.

clip_image001[7]

 

Create a field that is both date and time

Add it to the first section under the row

Make it not visible by default

Save and Publish

clip_image001[9]

 

This fixes the problem and you will now have scroll bars for the customized tab

 

clip_image001[11]

 

Best Regards
