This holiday season, there are many things to be thankful for: our families, our friends, good health and so much more. So while we reflect on all the things we are thankful for this year, I would like to share what I am most thankful for in CRM for Distribution.
Fields
Dynamics makes it easy to extend its out of box standard field set to meet your company's needs. You can add your own custom fields to the out of box entities as you need, but you'll want to be sure to follow these best practices!
No Duplicates
The system will not allow you to create two fields with the same field name however, you can create two fields with the same display name.
Multiple Forms
If you're familiar with using multiple forms in Dynamics, then you know that you can create different forms and assign security roles so that different users see a different form for a specific entity. This can get rather complicated depending on how many forms you are using and if you are using a layered security approach where a user may have multiple security roles that are applied to different forms.

Archiving Your Dynamics 365 Data
One common question asked during a CRM implementation is "what are best practices around data archival for historical data?" My immediate response is "You get the MOST value from your CRM data when it lives in Microsoft Dynamics.
What is a Business Rule?
Simply put, a Business Rule is a code-free way to apply rules to a form in Dynamics. You can use a Business Rule to set field values, clear field values, set field requirement levels, show or hide fields, enable or disable fields, validate data and show error messages, or create business recommendations based on business intelligence.
