How to Improve Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM Performance

Imagen
Performance Analyzer for Microsoft Dynamics (DynamicsPerf 2.0) is a toolset developed by Microsoft Premier Field Engineering. This toolset is a set of SQL scripts to collect SQL Server DMV data and Microsoft Dynamics specific product data persisted into a singular database called DynamicsPerf. This allows for quick resolution of performance issues on Microsoft Dynamics products (CRM, AX, GP, NAV, SL) https://github.com/pfedynamics/dynamicsperf The following 5 items provided the biggest performance boost to their Dynamics CRM instance. 1.) Reorganizing / Rebuilding SQL Indexes When you install Microsoft CRM, several System jobs are set up to keep your database running smoothly.

Configurating Sub Grid

Imagen
One of the new features with CRM 2013 is the ability to quickly associate an existing record in a subgrid of another record. For example, maybe you have a set list of a particular object that you want users associating to another record. The subgrids allow you to easily search for existing records, or scroll through a list of recently touched records. But in the case that you want users creating new records directly from the subgrid, Microsoft has made this a little bit difficult. You have to click the plus sign over the grid, then click the search icon, then scroll to the very bottom of the list to select +New button. That’s at least 3 clicks! For some reason, Microsoft decided to use the “Add existing” functionality for the plus button, so if you wanted to “Add New”, it’s a few extra steps.

Dynamics CRM Quick Tip: Creating Custom Activity Feed Posts

Imagen
The Posts or Activity Wall on the social pane of a Dynamics CRM record is an easy way to keep up on important events at a glance without having to leave the main page. You might see information like an opportunity for an account of yours was won or one of your customers just opened a new service request. While this type of information is important it may not be important enough to warrant creating a workflow which sends an email, after all let’s face it everyone is probably already getting to much email as it is. To cut down on some of the noise in your inbox, items that are not critical can be posted to the activity feeds area where you can consume the data at you convenience. Out of the box there are a number of pre-configure events that can be enabled. To find these look under Settings -> Post Rule Configurations. You’ll find quite a few events related to activities, opportunities and cases. In order for the system to generate a post on one of these events you’ll
