As a Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM and Power Platform Consultant when I create a new field either on an out of the box table, or as Custom table, I (naturally) assume every user of the system will know what data to enter into that field.

If anyone has ever taken a Microsoft exam in either Dynamics 365 or, going back further, Dynamics CRM, you'll be familiar with the concept of a question which gives you a couple of sentences about a situation and then some possible solutions to sort it out. Some of these are sensible but, if you've been in this situation before, you'll be familiar with the voice in your head shouting "What!

Power BI is a really powerful and highly visual reporting tool. However, unlike the immediacy of using a tool like Jet Reports with Microsoft Excel, it can be tricky to know where to start, easy to fall into the trap of finding things overwhelming and end up giving up before you have even begun.

New pages have been added to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central that show the unposted and posted lines on documents, such as outstanding lines to ship, receive, invoice, or those that have already been shipped, invoiced etc. These were sometimes added as a modification in the past but are now much more easily accessible and can even be bookmarked on the Role Centre.
