Change the maximum No. of controls on MSCRM Dashboards MSCRM Dashboard Control Number Change

The maximum number of controls allowed on MSCRM dashboards is 6. You cannot put the more than 6 graphs/charts/iframes/webresources etc. on the dashboard.
This setting was applied to the server not a organisation setting. So, you cannot the change of this setting for CRM Online, but the change of this to an on-premise installation.
There is ways to do it.

1. Using Deployment Web Service (http://myservername/xrmdeployment/2011/deployment.svc)
2. Using Window Power Shell

Windows Power Shell Option is the easiest one.

• Open the Windows Power Shell
• Add the Microsoft Dynamics CRM PowerShell snap-in using

Add-pssnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell

You could

get the message saying something like "Add-pssnapin:cannot Add Windows PowerShell snap-in Microsoft.Crm.Powe Rshell because it is already added. " It is okay.

• Run the following 3 command

$setting = Get-crmsetting-settingtype dashboardsettings
$setting. Maximumcontrolslimit = 8 (//Can change this number)
set-crmsetting-setting $setting

Here is my screens shot with 8 charts.
