Reimagined User Experience
With an entirely new user experience, Microsoft Dynamics CRM allows you to view everything you need in one spot – fast and fluid, and relevant to the work at hand. No pop-ups. No flipping from one application to the next. What you need, where you need it. Get in, get going and get done. So you can focus on what is most important – your customers
The new user experience organizes information in a clean, consistent and easy-to-access manner. By giving you all the information you need at one time, you don’t get distracted and you stay on task. The streamlined navigation experience drops down from the top of the screen with a single touch:
Simplified Data Entry Your people are busy – working multiple accounts and opportunities
all the time. To keep them productive and focused on the task at hand, introduced new data entry capabilities. Allow your users to easily create any record with Quick Create – an optimized experience to capture key data points for the record being entered.
Quickly add and edit Product line items to your Opportunities, Quotes, Orders and Invoices with inline editable grids. You can input Product details such as price, quantity and discount directly in the grid on the form.
Track and manage the key people such as stakeholders and sales team members for your deals. Inline lookup and editing makes it easier to understand at a glance who is connected to the record and their role. Your people can even create “New” records inline from within the lookup screen.
Process Excellence & Agility
With guided processes there is no more guessing what to do next. You always know what has been completed, where you are in the process, and what still remains to be done. With the ability to quickly create and modify business processes, your organization can easily adapt to changes in the market.
Organizations can have multiple processes for each entity. Role-specific process assignment sets the default process and a user can then switch to another process if better suited. Required steps within a stage can be enforced so that users are prevented from progressing to the next stage in the process.
A single Process can span multiple entities (e.g. Lead to Opportunity to Quote to Order to Opportunity), including custom entities.
Server-side Synchronization Stay productive and up to date no matter where you are or what
device you’re on. With server-side synchronization, administrators can easily manage the synchronization of email, tasks, appointments and contacts between on-premises versions of CRM and Exchange.
The following synchronization scenarios will be supported following the General Availability of CRM 2013. They will not be available at launch:
CRM Online and Exchange Online for Email, tasks, appointments and contacts
CRM Online or CRM 2013 (on-premises) and POP3/SMTP2 for Email
Synchronization using the Email Router and Outlook client will continue to be supported.
Workflows
Real-time Workflows
Real-time workflows are not queued, as was the case with asynchronous workflows, but execute immediately on-demand or in response to a message being processed by the execution pipeline. Real-time workflows participate in the database transaction and perform similar functionality to plug-ins, yet can be created by a non-developer through the web application workflow designer. Developers can still create real-time workflow through code.
Non-Coding Plug-ins
Microsoft calls it “declarative” configuration; which is essentially more like the current Processes vs. the Form editor drag and drop (more descriptive, less visual). This is a new feature and DIFFERENT than Processes (Workflows & Dialogs) and different than plugins (which require code). Business Rules will support “no code required” rules; such as, if then else, change a field based on another field, comparisons, formula’s, etc. E.g. the ability to create a rule that says If field A = Red, then Set Field B = “123″. Or, If field C = “Blue” then show Tab 2.
