With the recent announcement that Customer Driven Updates (aka CDU) are now available to upgrade Dynamics 365 to the v9 release (aka July 2017 update, aka October 2017 update, aka February 2018 update) customers might be keen to upgrade their existing Dynamics 365 v8.x instances.

Filter a Dynamics 365 Portal Entity List
When deploying a Dynamics 365 Portal, there are many use cases where you only want to show data related to the authenticated portal user. Items such as registrations, invoices and other private data should only be accessible by the appropriate user. One method of showing data on the Portal is by using Entity Lists. One… Continue reading Filter a Dynamics 365 Portal Entity List
Show two Entity Lists on a Dynamics 365 Portal Page
The other day I needed to create a Dynamics 365 Portal page showing 2 entity lists.

Dynamics 365 Solution Import Issue – Cannot add root component of type 60
For some reason solution imports have not been my friend the last few months. Usually when a solution doesn’t import, 99% of the time it comes down to dependency issues or a corrupt solution file. For on-premise deployments, if the log file doesn’t provide good information, setting up server side traces or SQL profiler traces… Continue reading Dynamics 365 Solution Import Issue – Cannot add root component of type 60
