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

Interact with Dynamics 365 records in Teams Chat(Preview)

I feel like I’ve been repeating myself, since this is yet another article where I talk about additional functionality in the Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365 integration. As a recap, previously I wrote two articles on the embedded Teams chat in Dynamics 365 which allows users to access Microsoft Teams chat from the Dynamics 365 application (if you haven’t read the articles yet you can do so here and here),Read More

Access Dynamics 365 data in Teams meetings (Preview)

Microsoft is investing more and more in the integration between Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365 which I believe sets Dynamics 365 even further apart from the competition. I’m sure you are familiar with some of the features we have access to today, like the ability to view Dynamics 365 data from within Microsoft Teams or the ability to access a Teams chat from within Dynamics 365, but there are aRead More

Power Automate: Copy and paste image field in D365

In this article I am going to discuss how you can copy the data inside an image field from one record to the image field of another record. This could come in handy in different ways but what I am trying to accomplish here is to show related ‘hobby’ data on a contact record in Dynamics 365. In the example I am using for this article, I want to showRead More

Modern Advanced Find in D365

As most of you are probably aware of by now, as part of 2022 Release Wave 1 Microsoft is replacing the legacy advanced find feature with a brand new upgraded version. This is very big news, since we’ve had the legacy advance find for a long time and it’s never really been upgraded! One of the questions that I heard from the community kept coming up as people heard aboutRead More

2022 Release Wave 1 | Part 3: D365 Customer & Field Service

This is my third article on what’s new in 2022 Release Wave 1. In this article I discussing some of the most important features that are mentioned in the release notes for Dynamics 365 Customer Service and Field Service and what they mean for end-users and administrators. I was able to install the early access features on 1/31 in my sandbox so I could test some of these new featuresRead More

Microsoft Teams embedded chat | Part 2

In late October of 2021 I wrote an article about one of my favorite new features in Dynamics 365. Yes, you guessed it, I am talking about the Microsoft Teams integration with Dynamics 365. In particular, I am referring to the embedded chat within Dynamics 365. This functionality allows users to access Microsoft Teams chats directly from within Dynamics 365 and even allows users to link chats to Dynamics 365Read More

Command Bar designer for model-driven apps(preview)

Most of you who have needed to customize buttons in the command bar in Dynamics 365 found out that this is not something that we can do by using any of the configuration tools that come with Dynamics 365. I’ve been pulling my hair out on many occasions until I found the ribbon workbench created by Scott Durow (one of the nicest people I have ever met!) which is partRead More

Ad-hoc Power Bi reporting in Dynamics 365 (preview)

In this article I am going to discuss yet another preview feature! I have to say I am super excited about this one because this feature allows users to pull up an ad-hoc Power BI report, without having to actually build a power bi report! HUH? I know that sounds strange right? How can you visualize data in Power Bi without building a report? We are all familiar with showingRead More

Collaboration in model-driven apps

It’s time for another article on a preview feature! I am very excited about this one because this feature brings functionality that we are already familiar with from other Microsoft applications to model-driven PowerApps! This means we can take advantage of this in Dynamics 365 as well! Awesome! Great! So what is it!!!? I’m sure you might have worked in a document in Microsoft 365, maybe an excel sheet orRead More
