Dynamics 365 is a famous enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) platform trusted by many companies of various industries.

However, it is essential to implement the customization correctly to get the maximum benefit of this feature. For this reason, we share expert tips on customizing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Integration to suit your organization.

1. Make Use of Email Templates In Microsoft Outlook
In the business world, emails are unavoidable. Prefilling Dynamics 365 email templates with properly structured text messages eliminate the need to type out identical information for each email. You will need the appropriate permissions to generate email templates in Outlook using Dynamics 365.

3. Make Reports
Setting up report kinds to fit everyday business demands is one of Dynamics 365's most significant capabilities. You can extend Dynamics' report customization beyond the preset templates. Businesses can use Fetch XML to build SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) or Fetch-based Reporting Service reports.

• Open the module for which a new workflow is required.
• Setup -> [Name of module] workflows should be selected.
• When the list page displays in the Action Pane, click New.

Workflows in Dynamics 365 enable you to automate a variety of back-end activities. Users can also execute them on an as-needed basis.

When configuring your workflow, you can choose from the following choices.

• Drag Workflow elements editor items into the canvas.
• Connect workflow components.

• Individual elements dragged onto your processes, such as approval phases and automated actions, can be configured.

Custom views allow you to determine how information is shown within a Dynamics 365 application. You influence elements such as:

• Which columns should be displayed?
• The width of each column
• Record sorting choices by default
• There are filters available to limit which records appear in a list.

Users can configure their views to be a personal, system, or public.

• Personal opinions - Users' opinions are available only to those with whom they desire to share them.
• System views - System views are held by an organization and are visible to everyone.
• Public Views- Individuals can customize these general-purpose views.

Users in Dynamics 365 can develop custom views using the built-in App Designer or the Solution Explorer.
