Changes to Advanced Find
When Dynamics 365 Release Wave 2 becomes generally available next week, you will see a new version of Advanced Find.
The first thing you will notice is that the Advanced Find icon in the navigation bar will have been replaced by a 'Modern Advanced Find' version for all Dynamics 365 modules and model-driven apps.
So what are the main changes?
With Modern Advanced Find, you can access any table in a model-driven app through search and use advanced filters to explore the data easily. This will allow you to be more productive with navigation by searching for a view by its name in the enhanced view selector.
The new view management experience will provide you with options to share views so you can collaborate with your team easily. Managing views will be simpler with personalisation options to build your own set of views.
The key features include the ability to:
- Explore any table in a model-driven app through structured search and filters.
- Edit columns and filter data and construct views that will help you apply the right lens to your data.
- Search for a view and easily find the view that you're looking for with the enhanced view selector.
For more on all the new features, which will replace the legacy advanced find experience, please raise a ticket with our Client SuccessTeam. If you are not using our Client Success Care Packages, simply hit reply to this email.
Form UX improvements
There are also some key user experience improvements to Microsoft Forms worth checking out.
Users are now able to find and interact with data more efficiently driving higher productivity and satisfaction when working with data on forms across all view-port sizes, devices, and applications.
Key features
- Model-driven app form UX enhancements for improvised data presentation. This will include a set of multiple changes. Light grey form background and shadows added to form sections to make it easier to visually navigate the page.
- Consistent use of fonts and higher data density using reduced white space and removal of field dividers. A chevron will be added to the related tab label to indicate a menu flyout. A header field chevron will be also be available for high density header. Quick view form labels will be displayed on top instead of icons on the quick view form.
We think this is a nice visual improvement. If you have any questions, let us know by hitting reply!
