With the release of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (July 2017 Update), Microsoft has finally included new Email functionality in the Unified User Interface. This includes the new email designer, with many enhancements, preview for multiple devices, and well as email tracking. This post will show some of these features and capabilities within this post.
Microsoft is currently in the final phase of preparation for the Customer Driven roll-out, which will allow Customers to schedule the update of an instance to Dynamics 365 v9.0. The target date is set for January 2018, with a processing window of the scheduled updates to begin in February 2018.
With the release of Dynamics 365 July 2017 Update, Web Api functionality can be performed by calling the functions and properties of the Xrm.WebApi class. The WebApi methods are available for both online and offline access (with offline access being available to mobile clients working offline). The base methods that are available for using the Xrm.WebApi include the following: createRecord, deleteRecord, retrieveRecords, retrieveMultipleRecords, updateRecord, execute and executeMultiple. The following blog post will provide a short description of each and code sample for each one. The execute and execute multiple will be shown in part 2 of this blog article

In this second post of the series, we will review the changes between the properties and methods of the attribute based on the getAttributes Collection or the Xrm.Page.getAttribute method. The tables below will show the base methods of the attribute, as well as specific method for specific attribute types.
In this series, I will show the list of Dynamics CRM Api calls, and their new counterparts in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (v9). The first of this series will focus on the Xrm.Utility, Xrm.Page.data, Xrm.Page.ui and Xrm.Page.context. I will demonstrate the method calls in Dynamics CRM and how to get the same functionality using Dynamics 365 CE.
In the recent weeks, I have seen a lot of topics in the Dynamics Community forums asking about what are the capabilities of the Dynamics 365 Team Member License, and what actions can or cannot be performed with this license. I have decided to summarize the details from the licensing guide regarding this licenses to be able to answer some of the questions that arise.
With the release of Dynamics 365 (online), version 9.0, there are a lot of changes in our developer resources. One of the biggest changes though, is that the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK will no longer be available as a download. The new name of the SDK, as it was known will be the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Developer Guide.
Starting with the upcoming release of the July 2017 update for Dynamics 365 (online), Microsoft will require connections to utilize TLS 1.2 (or better) security. This aligns with updated Microsoft and industry security policies and best practices, and certain actions might be required to maintain connectivity to the Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement applications.
In a recent email from Microsoft Insider Program, Microsoft provided an advanced notice that the plan is to deploy the July 2017 Update for Dynamics 365 to General Availability (GA) in the first week of October 2017. The released version of the product will be available soon after, and a 30-day trial of the new release will be available via the Microsoft Dynamics web site.
