Modernized Case Grids

You might not have noticed due to the holidays last month, but another 2022 Wave 2 feature that is part of Dynamics 365 Customer Service went into general availability in December!

I am sure you’re familiar with the ‘regular’ case grid, which is a list of case records, configurableRead More

There are a few updates to the maker experience when it comes to configuring the timeline on a form as part of 2022 release wave 2.

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.

I installed the early release features for DynamicsRead More
