What is Dynamics 365 providing me that Dynamics CRM does not?

Dynamics 365 is giving you the capability to administer all of your applications and services from one portal.

You can manage the following:

  • Users and groups
  • Resource
  • Billing
  • Contact support
  • Services and add-ins
  • Domains
  • Products
  • Reports
  • Health
  • Admin centers for your products
  • Editable Grids

  • App Modules
    Giving you the opportunity to create your apps in the Dynamics 365 allows you to control your apps in Dynamics 365. You can assign which app is to be displayed for certain users and each single app has its own sitemap (navigation menu).
    Dynamics 365 vs. Dynamics CRM
  • Sitemap Designer
    Dynamics 365 provides the ability to easily edit your sitemap by dragging and dropping and creating areas, groups, and entities links. From here, you can control the sitemaps of your apps and the icons for your items in the sitemap.
  • Business Process Flow Enhancements
    BPF is a familiar feature from Dynamics CRM, but in Dynamics 365 the functionality has been extended. Processes now can be set to Active, Inactive, or Abandoned. Security has been improved, a drag-and-drop designer has been added, and workflows now can be run based on a certain event in the BPFs. Suggestion bubbles for the user and a timer for the BPF’s stages are also new features.
  • Relationship Insights
    Still in preview, this feature connects you with Azure machine Learning, so, after giving the permission to external systems to access your application data, intelligent functionalities will applied. For example, email engagement reminds you of upcoming appointments and meetings, unanswered emails, and, after reading your emails, it tells you what you should track.
    Engagement analysis is the analysis of what the receivers of your emails are engaged in by measuring the amount of clicks and views on emails and their content.
    The Relationship Assistant Tool will help you with suggestions for your records in Dynamics 365.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM Troubleshooting Solution Import Errors

Remember when CRM life was so much simpler that solutions did not yet exist? If you had separate development and production environments and you wanted to move your customizations, you simply clicked  Export Customizations  and voila! It was done. Those were the days. Nostalgia Warning – in case you’ve forgotten, here’s a screenshot to jog your memory: With CRM 2011, the concept of solutions was introduced, giving us a new set of powers – by picking individual entities, workflows, etc., we now had the ability to group together and move only those customizations we wanted to include in our solution. The next great solutions advancement came with CRM 2016: we can now select specific components within each individual entity – so instead of moving the entire contact entity, for example, we have the option of moving only a certain view or field within the entity. And we can do this without having to hack the xml in the zip file. (By the way, if you want to learn more abou...

How to prevent record from saving in Dynamics CRM using Javascript

  From time to time you might need to add some validation to the save event of an entity, this actually used to be an approach I would use on a regular basis but since the introduction of business rules have found myself doing this less and less. But still, knowing the ability is available is handy. When you define the onsave event function, you must tick the “Pass execution contact as first parameter” option. (See below) Having done that you can create an onSave function with code similar to the example I have shown below. Note forgetting the “(context)”, which will take the context parameter allowing you to prevent the save when needed. function onSave(context) { var saveEvent = context.getEventArgs(); if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("telephone1").getValue() == null) { // *** Note: I am using an alert for testing a notification maybe better! alert("Put in a phone number!"); saveEvent.preventDefault(); } } Note: This simple example might be better achi...
