Microsoft is finally preparing to roll out its latest update to Dynamics 365, and it has a lot of great features that customers have been clamoring for for years. Microsoft is holding true to their mission statement of “empowering every person and organization on this planet to achieve more.” With so many great new features available as part of the July 2017 update, it’s hard to choose, but here are a few of our favorite new features in Dynamics 365 2017 July Update.
Multi-Select Option Sets
Multi-Select Option sets have been among the most requested features. This new feature allows you to create an option set and defines that multiple selections can be made. The chosen values are stored in the field and can be used for reporting and many other scenarios. No longer will companies have to use the common hack of creating multiple checkboxes to simulate a multi-select. Checking this improvement off the wishlist goes a long way to improving Dynamics 365.
