Create custom notifications on email opens
You have probably all seen the notifications in Dynamics 365 when a customer or prospect opens an email message. This notification shows in the timeline on the bottom of an email message, but if you don’t check it, you won’t see it! Another place where these notifications can become visible is in the Dynamics 365 assistant…if you set up a notification for this when you created the email in DynamicsRead More
Viva Sales(preview) | Part 2
Last week I posted part one of my articles (you can read it here) about Viva Sales which is in preview today. Microsoft describes Viva Sales as a seller experience application designed to get sellers out of the busy work and in front of customers. Viva Sales will connect to any CRM system and will add detailed insights to customer exchanges and activities that take place through Microsoft (aka Office)Read More
Viva Sales(Preview) | Part 1
I am sure you’ve heard about Viva Sales, which is yet another application developed by Microsoft for sales people! Microsoft describes this application as a seller experience application designed to get sellers out of the busy work and in front of customers.

Generic updates in 2022 Release Wave 2
I wanted to take a minute to write an article about some of the more generic updates in the Dynamics 365 applications. For example, I noticed there are some additional changes to the forms in Dynamics 365 model driven apps that were not really mentioned in any of the release notes, so I figured I would write about that as well. Once you install the early access features for 2022Read More
Customize Work List Cards in 2022 Wave 2!
The feature that I am going to discuss in this article is part of the early release features of the upcoming release wave! When I wrote my article on the release notes for 2022 Release Wave 2, I didn’t have access to any of the early release features, which is why I am writing this article now that I do have access. I installed the early release features for DynamicsRead More
Record ownership across business units (Preview)
This is a feature that has been in preview for quite some time now (for those of you who are interested, the preview was announced back in early November of 2021 under the heading of ‘Modernize Business Units’), but I realized I haven’t written an article about this, so I thought now would be a good time to explain what this feature entails. This feature has been requested for quiteRead More
D365 Field Service: Add child assets to an RMA
A few weeks ago I was talking to someone about Dynamics 365 Field Service and they asked me about a couple of requirements which were not standard functionality in Dynamics 365 Field Service. He wanted to know if it was possible to build logic around assets that are brought to a warehouse for repair. The scenario was that when a part is picked up from a customer to send toRead More
Dynamics 365: 2022 Release notes for wave 2 are here!
Earlier today Microsoft published the release notes for the 2022 Release wave 2! I always tell people to keep in mind that this is a living document, meaning that these updates are not set in stone. Microsoft is continuously updating the release notes by changing, adding and even removing functionality from the plan. This is also one of the reasons I will not post any preview or GA dates here.Read More
Enhanced experience using email templates
In my last article I wrote about the new experience for creating email templates, and this week I am going to cover the enhanced experience end-users will have when adding an email template to an email message in Dynamics 365. This feature is also part of 2022 Release Wave 1 and has been generally available since April 1st of this year. It’s interesting to note that this feature is showingRead More
