Course Details
The course explains how to create custom entities and to edit existing entities. This covers all the entity properties and how these affect the functionality available and the user interface. The course also explores how to create new fields and edit existing fields. This includes all the options available for fields and how this affects the data. Calculated and Rollup fields are explained with their capabilities and deficiencies. How Option Sets work is then explained along with showing how Status Reason options can be amended and also how status reason transitions are enforced.
The course concludes with how to manage your application lifecycle through solutions. The course discussed the use and impact of both unmanaged and managed solutions and how ISVs can use managed solutions to protect their intellectual property. We will discuss the patch functionality in Dynamics 365 and explain how this can be used by ISVs and by end-user organisations.
A non-trivial case study will be used to demonstrate how to design and build a solution to meet business needs.
