Creating email signatures for emails sent from Dynamics 365 is really straightforward for each individual user. It’s something each person has the ability to do for themselves. However, what if you are using queues for sending out emails? Perhaps you have a Customer Service or Support Team queue. How do you go about having a … Continue reading Using Queue Email Signatures

An organisation using Dynamics 365/CRM and selling products or services is most likely using price lists to do so. Starting off with a default price list gives you a set of prices to generate opportunities, quotes and orders effectively. This is fine if everything you sell is the same price for each client, but if … Continue reading Creating Client Price Lists From A Default List

Some may argue (and they have! 🙂 ) that tax should never be calculated in Dynamics 365, and should only be used in a finance package. I would tend to agree from the point of view of an order/invoice, but a sales organisation using D365 is probably using the Opportunity & Quotes entity and needs … Continue reading Calculate Total Tax On Opportunities, Quotes & Orders From Related Line Items

If anyone has ever used Word Document Templates in D365 you will know that they are really useful in many circumstances. You don’t need to be a developer or someone who knows SSRS to create them, and your end users can get really helpful documents out of the system when needed. Sending out Quotes is … Continue reading Displaying Product Codes On Word Document Templates

In Part One of this topic we looked at using the manager field on a User to allow for filtering of data, and adding users to teams to make it easier to share views, charts and dashboards. What if we want to use Teams for reviewing data and not just sharing things? And how about … Continue reading Using Teams & Managers To Manage Records – Part Two

In a previous blog post I wrote about how to automatically populate the shipping and billing address for an Order. This isn’t the only way, so in this post I’ll focus on the Look Up Address button that appears at the top of a Quote and an Order record. NOTE: the button also appears on … Continue reading Using the Look Up Address Button on Quotes & Orders

I’ve talked about using emojis in the past, by adding them to option sets. I’ve also talked about using CSS on a survey to make it look better in terms of branding. So what about using emojis in voice of the customer and changing it slightly with CSS to make it awesome? You’re in luck! … Continue reading Using Emojis In Voice of the Customer

I’m not the first to write about this subject, and probably won’t be the last, but it’s something not immediately obvious in the way in which the standard sales funnel charts work in Dynamics 365/CRM. The standard Sales Activity Dashboard displays the chart below, detailing Opportunity Pipeline by Sales Stage. That’s great, looks lovely, but … Continue reading Understanding The Standard Sales Funnel Charts

For the majority of organisations, people work in departments. They report to a manager, and as a manager you need an easy way to see what’s going on with your team. In D365/CRM there are many ways to separate the data for reporting but two of the easiest things to use are the manager field, … Continue reading Using Teams & Managers To Manage Records – Part One

One of the things that surprises me about Dynamics 365/CRM when it comes to Orders is there isn’t a fully automated process for populating the Billing & Shipping details. While the billing address is mapped when creating a Quote or an Order directly from an Account or a Contact, the shipping address isn’t. Most likely … Continue reading Automatically Populate Shipping & Billing Addresses For An Order
