Configure Dynamics 365 for Project Service Automation

It has been an eventful couple of past months when Microsoft finally pulled the plug on Microsoft Dynamics CRM and decided to reintroduce it as Microsoft Dynamics 365 through standalone applications such as Dynamics 365 for Sales, Dynamics 365 for marketing, Microsoft dynamics 365 for customer services, Dynamics 365 for Field Service Automation and Dynamics 365 for Project Service Automation.

All of these have their own specialties to offer and as it happens, make Dynamics 365 more powerful in terms of offering customer relationship management than anyone could have imagined possibly.

So if Microsoft Dynamics 365 were to be configured for Project Service Automation, then the procedure given below is to be followed so that the same happens successfully. Mind you, those having begun using Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Project Service Automation and those still contemplating, the app helps manage accounts, projects and resources.

1. Set Up Time Units. Configuring these in the product catalog is a must as these will be used as a base for scheduling and billing projects.
2. Set Up Currencies ad Exchange Rates. These again have to be set up for projects.
3. Create Organizational Units. Setting up groups which the organization uses to divide its business are again a must, something which happens mostly on the basis of geography, business function and other logical divisions.
4. Set Up Invoice Frequencies. Setting these time periods up is necessary as these are a prerequisite to bill clients.
5. Configure Transaction Categories. Doing these is necessary as consultants can that way charge their billable and unbillable expenses to.
6. Configure Expense Categories. These need to be set up again so that consultants charge their billable and unbillable expenses to.
7. Create Product Catalog Items. Doing this task is necessary as they enable end users to add products meant to be sold to the product catalog.
8. Create a Price List. Multiple ones have to be configured as this will help decide how exactly clients are supposed to be billed for every role their project requires.
9. Set Up Resources. Doing this will add skills, proficiencies, resource roles and other resource information necessary for projects.

Following these steps will ensure that you do end up configuring Dynamics 365 for Project Service Automation.

Microsoft SharePoint App for Windows 10 Mobile Is All Set For Full Release

There is good news for users of the SharePoint Solution. The launch of the Official SharePoint App for Windows 10 Mobile has exited its Preview Version and will now have a Full Release on the Windows Store. It was in late September last month that the app was available for public preview. This allowed users of Microsoft SharePoint and Windows 10 Mobile to try it out early.

Given below is a list of everything that the Microsoft Dynamics SharePoint App helps do as far as the Windows 10 Mobile is concerned.

1. It helps sign in to SharePoint Online Sites. Businesses get to add multiple accounts and easily switch between them.

2. It helps quickly find sites. Businesses get to use the Sites tab to check out the sites they follow and visit frequently.
3. Users of the SharePoint Solution will find the app easy to use as all they have to do is tap on a team site and dive straight into it. They get to see site activity, navigate using familiar quick launch navigation, work with their lists and follow as well as share the site.

4. It helps check out recent as well as popular files. As far as team sites are concerned, users will get to view and share recent and popular files and also have complete access to their document libraries through the new integration with the OneDrive App. Users of the app will be able to edit files easily through Office Mobile Apps such as Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint.
5. The Links Tab in the app will be useful to find promoted links for the organization. These links are curated by the organization’s SharePoint Admin for all employees and facilitate access to those sites and organizational resources relevant to the business.
6. It facilitates enterprise search and results will be organized into sites, files and people.
7. It helps find employees of the concerned organization. To retrieve the contact card of a user, businesses have to simply tap on his name and will get to see who he works with and what he works on.

It must be known that only those businesses having subscribed to Office 365 with SharePoint Online will be able to use the app.
