Recently, we encountered an issue with Dynamics 365 where the Activity Dropdown no longer displays options for activities when attempting to add them directly to the related record. It would display a message stating "No Options Available" or it would stay stuck "Loading" like in the below screenshot.

While there are many business software applications that can streamline your daily work, investing the time to learn how to work smarter with Microsoft Excel will pay dividends in the future. In this blog we will walk through a few key features of Microsoft Excel that will expand your skill set and make your work life a little easier.

If you're like most D365 organizations, you use background workflows. Depending on the nature of your business, you likely have custom plugins embedded in many of those background workflows. While Microsoft hasn't officially announced the deprecation of background workflows, they are recommending that you transition to using MS Flows.

Recently I had a customer that had a runaway data increase of their Activity Pointer Base table. It would grow about 4-5GB each weekend. We looked for the usual suspects such as inline images, amount of email being sent on the weekend, and nothing really seemed to stick out.

Microsoft Power Automate provides rich and powerful tools, connectors, and logic to automate many common business processes within Dynamics 365 and the Dataverse as a whole.  With flow functionality slowly replacing legacy Dynamics 365 workflows, Power Platform administrators and customizers now more than ever have the ability to build automations up and across to other products and solutions using various data connectors.

Do you leverage data from multiple applications or services? If you haven't already found a way to integrate the data between them, you should check out Microsoft Cloud Flows, which are part of Power Automate and part of the overall Power Platform.
What are Cloud Flows?
Cloud Flows allow power users to build workflows that integrate a diverse set of apps and services, including Dynamics 365, SharePoint, SQL Server, Act!, Twitter and many more! Each workflow can have one trigger, such as a timer or an incoming email or tweet, and one or many actions, such as creating a Lead in your application of choice and sending a text message to a user.

In a previous blog, we covered how you can populate a Word document template using Power Automate.  In addition to populating plain text fields in a doc, you can also Use Power Automate and JSON to populate Document Tables using the Repeating Section Content Control.

Fortinet is urging customers to patch their appliances immediately following a recent authentication bypass vulnerability. Security researchers shared a proof of concept exploit and technical root cause analysis. Later the exploit code was released and almost immediately attackers started scanning for unpatched Fortinet devices.
