Dynamics 365: Helpful Shortcuts and Terminology Update

By November 25, 2020No Comments

I’ve got two quick tips in this post for you all.  First, Microsoft has recently updated their long-used terminology for fields and entities.  Second, a few helpful shortcuts for administrators to bookmark:  As Microsoft makes changes to the Office 365 portal, it’s becoming increasingly difficult and time consuming to find the Dynamics 365 Admin center through clicks alone.

Terminology Update:
Say goodbye to the terms “entity” and “field”! Microsoft has decided to update the terminology to “table” to describe entities, and “column” to describe fields.  This will take some time to get used to!

Helpful Shortcuts:
