Don’t forget to do today’s #Wordl !!
Clue - it best sums up @microsoft ‘s #D365 support network 👍🏼
“Absolute shambles” isn’t a 5 letter word but you’ll figure it out

Also choose @ClickDimensions instead of #DynamicsMarketing as #D365Marketing = 🐕 💩

Counting 3 weeks now and multiple tickets in progress for trashed environment config thanks to #DynMarketing app problems. Shop ISV for Alt-Marketing - this overpriced "Sales-Pitch" isn't worth the hassle and the overhead costs

[Benn Wood @BennCRM]

Another “weak” experience with Microsoft #PowerApps this week.
Simple environment copies with #DynMarketing installed requires MS support to unpick problems that the platform shouldn’t explode at dealing with. A thread of things this overpriced platform should handle…

3) when trying to “Redeploy the product with a license” after an environment copy, you can hit an error, that can be remedied by “Redeploying the product with a license” 🔁 Should be a fun day 🤦🏻‍♂️

2) An inactive owner systemuser account owns a MKT record. #DynMarketing cannot handle this happening with any of its entities so explodes on Uninstall/Upgrade with a non-specific onscreen error. MS support ticket to be told which entities or users caused the issue

[Benn Wood @BennCRM]

Awww gee thanks @Microsoft ! After disconnecting me and my business from the #MPN for months I thought there was finally an extra benefit to being in the program…but nah. Your Partner Support dept sucks, and so does your Marketing dept 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@epicgames @rocketleague @PsyonixStudios are allowing dodgy & glitchy software that enables scamsters in ripping off kids with their “Trade Market” platforms. Even after support ticket “investigations”, victims of technical glitches are losing their hard earned/bought items

@readyxrm Just a few weeks ago I was:
Removing entity from Solution, readding it and then checking and double chking which components to add knowing it was my one-shot 🤯 Relieved I can be less organized again 😂😂😂

[Benn Wood @BennCRM]

Anyone else find the #powerapps platform incredibly slow when customizing #D365 ? Hitting timeouts when trying to delete just 2 fields from an entity. Doesn’t feel too empowering 🤦🏻‍♂️
Trying not to “Switch to Classic”

[Benn Wood @BennCRM]

Strange behaviour on #MSDyn365 using Chrome - downloading solutions and note attachments gets wrapped in single quotes!? Added security measure?? Confusing for users (and confusing to try and excuse as a CRM Consultant 😆)
Open for "By design" suggestions...

Hey @SpotifyCanada ... why can’t I listen to #podcasts on an iPhone?? 🤔🤔🤔 #iPhone6s #iOs12

[Benn Wood @BennCRM]

@readyxrm WOW airlines now charge for overhead bins - anything more than a purse or laptop bag. The current state of general flights causes stressed lineups trying to get to them first in the departure lounges too

[Benn Wood @BennCRM]

Fantastic session by @readyxrm showing off how seamlessly #Microsoft have implemented #ADXStudio portals into the new #D365 offering. Next step is for me to demystify the licensing model so that Clients’ Customers can get true 21st century self-service #d365Saturday

[Benn Wood @BennCRM]

@cosmanja Thank you for starting at a blank canvas! I’ve worked with the templates available a couple times now, nice to dig in and see the from scratch approach. Can’t wait to crack my next #PowerApp
I need to do my DropdownBox challenge/task first though 👌🏼

[Benn Wood @BennCRM]

#365Saturday just stepped up a gear in the #PowerApps transmission! @cosmanja is literally providing a free training course into how to build #PowerApps from scratch 🙌🏼 Soooooo fantastic 👏🏼👏🏼 #xRM #D365 #msdyn365 #BeardGameStrong

[Benn Wood @BennCRM]

#365Saturday going great so far 👍🏼 Filip Karadzic provided a great overview of the big picture of CDS & #PowerApps. Before today, I’d made a couple apps when i needed to, but didn’t get to appreciate the bigger range of opportunities for them 👏🏼👏🏼 #Want2MakeMoreRightNow

[Benn Wood @BennCRM]

@readyxrm Can we attendees get access to slide decks after the day? Wondering whether to take photos all day or if I can get downloads? #msdyn365 #d365Saturday

[Nick Doelman 🇨🇦 @readyxrm]
