Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013

You can access Microsoft Dynamics CRM data from tablet devices in different ways. Apps for Windows 8, Apple iPad, and Android tablets are available to run Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. Alternatively, CRM can be accessed using the device’s preferred browser for those devices described here. Tablets not specifically mentioned here can typically use Microsoft Dynamics CRM for phones.

Note

Tablet support requires Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Fall ‘13 or at least Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 (on-premises).

For on-premises deployments of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013, the mobile apps require an Internet-facing deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2013 that uses claims-based authentication.

The mobile apps are compatible with the devices and operating systems that they are specifically designed for. These apps may not be compatible with other mobile devices such as smartphones or other tablet devices that are not listed here. More information: Set up CRM for tablets
