When you use the navigation search feature to find a page, the search results show the page title
and the navigation path, so that you know the location of the page in the application.
The navigation pane consists of four collapsible sections : Favorites , Recent , Workspaces and
Modules
Navigation in the mobile app consists of four basic concepts: the dashboard, workspaces, pages, and
actions.
The Filter pane is an inline pane that slides in from the left side of the screen and pushes the page
content to the right, so that users can see the data that they want to filter.
The global address book (GAB) is a centralized repository for master data that must be stored
for all internal and external persons and organizations that the company interacts with. When an
address changes, the update only needs to be made in one place.
Alerts form a notification system for critical events in the system. You can use alerts to stay
informed about events that you want to track during the workday like about deliveries that are
overdue, prices that change, or other events that you must respond to.
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management provides a single source of business intelligence
that drives productivity from assets and resources, aligns employees toward strategic goals, and
enables real-time response to organizational and customer demands.
Cost accounting lets you collect data from various sources, such as the general ledger, sub-
ledgers, budgets, and statistical information. You can then analyze, summarize, and evaluate
cost data so that management can make the best possible decisions for price updates, budgets,
cost control, and so on.
Supply Chain Management functionality that helps companies generate planned orders such as
purchase, transfer, and production orders is called Master planning
In role-based security, access is not granted to individual users, only to security roles. Users are
assigned to roles. A user who is assigned to a security role has access to the set of privileges
that is associated with that role.
Users are assigned to roles via System administration > Security > Assign users to roles.
Security reports can be found under System administration > Inquiries > Security.
User role assignments report generates a view of the current user role assignments in your
system.
The Security role effective access report provides a view of the effective permissions for each
security role. This report provides a flattened list of permissions grouped by type across all sub-
roles, duties, and privileges contained in the role.
A workflow represents a business process. It defines how a document flows (or moves) through
the system by showing who must complete a task, make a decision, or approve a document.
Business events provide a mechanism that lets external systems receive notifications from
Finance and Operations applications. In this way, the systems can perform business actions in
response to the business events.
Business events can be consumed in Microsoft Power Automate via the application
connector. The connector has a trigger that is named when a business event occurs.
After the when a business event happens trigger is added to a flow, the following information
must be provided – Instance, Category, Business event and Legal entity .
Cost center is an operating unit in which managers are accountable for budgeted and actual
expenditures. It is used for the management and operational control of business processes that
span legal entities.
Value stream is an operating unit that controls one or more production flows. It is commonly
used in lean manufacturing to control the activities and flows that are required to supply a
product or service to consumers.
A synchronous pattern is a blocking request and response pattern, where the caller is blocked
until the recipient has finished running the Excel integration and gives a response.
An asynchronous pattern is a non-blocking pattern, where the caller submits the request and
then continues without waiting for a response.
OData is a standard protocol for creating and consuming data. The purpose of OData is to
provide a protocol that is based on Representational State Transfer (REST) for create, read,
update, and delete (CRUD) operations.
Batch data API with recurring integration enables the exchange of documents or files between
Finance and Operations apps and any third-party application or service.
Financial Report Designer is the flexible tool which is used to customize and create financial
statements such as balance sheets, income statements, and cashflow statements. With this tool,
you can create advanced financial reports for financial leaders.
Microsoft
. Power Platform includes dashboards and workspaces that contain predefined and
personalized views, Power BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate integrations.
Dual-write provides data integration across Microsoft Dynamics 365 applications. It follows the
no-code/low-code principle.
Dual-write supports both online mode and offline mode. Data from customers, products,
operations, projects, and the Internet of Things (IoT) automatically flows to Common Data
Service through dual-write. This connection is useful for businesses that are interested in Power
Platform expansions.
To create and manage data import and export jobs in Finance and Operations apps, you can use
the Data management workspace. By default, the data import and export process creates a
staging table for each entity in the target database.
You can clean up staging tables by using the Staging clean up feature in the Data
management workspace. The following options can be used to select which records should be
deleted from which staging table –Entity, Job ID , Data projects
During the fit-gap analysis sessions, the consultant and the product experts should try to find
workarounds for every possible gap. You can use the BPM libraries and add your requirements
associated with the customer’s business process.
You can use Issue search to search for product issues and determine whether an issue has been
resolved, is open, or has a workaround. You can also Issue search for regulatory features and
determine whether a feature is available or is planned in a future release.
First step before connecting to an LCS project to retrieve task recordings is to ensure that a
BPM library exists in LCS.
The LCS Project workspace provides an outlined methodology showing each phase of your
project, and provides high-level milestones that are used to track deliverables and project goals.
ATL (Acceptance test library) is the tool that allows you to skip user interface (UI) and directly
debug the code. ATL is suggested to be best used for data setup testing and validation testing
of integration and components. In some scenarios, it could be used for unit tests.
Create user acceptance test library includes creating a BPM library, record test cases and save
to BPM, and manage and distribute BPM libraries.
Data task automation in Finance and Operations apps lets you repeat many types of data tasks
and validate the outcome of each task. Data task automation is useful for projects that are in the
implementation phase.
The Asset library is a storage location for the various assets that are associated with a tenant in
Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS). Two types of Asset library are available in LCS-
The Shared asset library and the project-level Asset library.
The project-level Asset library is used to share assets across environments within a project in
LCS. This library can be accessed by all users within a project. To access the project-level Asset
library, sign in to LCS, and open a project. Then, on the hamburger menu, click Asset library.
The Shared asset library is used by Microsoft and Partners to share assets across multiple
tenants, projects, and environments in LCS. This library can be accessed by any user who signs
in to LCS. To access the Shared asset library, sign in to LCS, and then click the Shared asset
library tile.
The sample questions provided here gives an idea of the various styles and formats used
in the questions presented during the certification exam. The samples discussed here are
not intended to represent content, reference, or questions that will be on the actual
examination.
The participants must complete in-depth course(s) and gain sufficient hands on
experience to prepare for the exam. Content presented in this session must only be used
to understand the popular formats in which your knowledge on the subject may be
tested.
After you answer all the questions in this section, review the answers before moving to the next section of the
