I like my calendars to be color-coded. It looks nice, and when you have a busy week it just helps make sense of your calendar at a glance.

Dynamics 365: Access the New Solution Customization Area Quickly with a Direct URL
It’s make.powerapps.com.
Using the classic interface, it takes a 4 clicks to open the solution and entity customization window:
Settings->Customizations->Customize the System->”Experience the new way to customize the system”
Navigating using the new UI menu is even worse at 6 clicks. This might not sound like a lot, but the time spent waiting for windows to load adds up. Thankfully, accessing the solution customization area has never been easier. Please note that you must be a Dynamics 365 administrator or customizer to edit the solution.

Dynamics 365: Related Documents Now Display on Record’s Main Form
With Release Wave 2 just a few days away from general release, I wanted to take a moment to highlight one of the features rolling out to the new UI: Improve or simplify most common sales workflows. Not a lot of detail! If you dig into this further you’ll see the following details:

- Enhance the Opportunity form user experience.
- Support reparenting of products and the addition of properties at the product level (supported on both the legacy web client and the Unified Interface).
- While defining a product catalog, admins can update the parent of a product, bundle, or family in cases where products need to be realigned. Additionally, they can add properties directly at the product or bundle level.
Most of our clients heavily utilize the “related documents” feature that already exists in Dynamics, so moving the Documents tab to the main form is a very welcome change!
