10 Expert Tips to Transform Your D365 Finance & Supply Chain UX

At GraVoc, we believe that mastering Microsoft Dynamics 365 is about more than just knowing where to click, it’s about unlocking the platform’s full potential to drive efficiency, insight, and business growth. As leaders in the Dynamics 365 ecosystem, we’re sharing ten expert tips for Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain that go beyond the basics, each designed to deliver tangible benefits for your team.

1. Optimize Your Visual Workspace

Switching to a compressed view in user settings maximizes on-screen data and controls, reducing scrolling and making it easier to manage complex forms. This small adjustment can significantly boost productivity for power users and new adopters alike.

2. Embrace Multi-Tab Browsing

Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain supports working in multiple browser tabs, allowing you to reference different records or processes side by side. This flexibility streamlines multitasking and helps users manage complex workflows without losing context.

3. Harness the Power of Search

The built-in search bar is a game-changer for navigation. Instead of hunting through modules, users can instantly locate forms, actions, and navigation paths, saving valuable time and reducing frustration

4. Use Favorites for Instant Access

Adding frequently used forms to your favorites menu means you’re always just one click away from your most important data. This feature simplifies navigation and helps users stay focused on what matters most.

5. Customize Grids and Views

Personalizing grids by adding, removing, or rearranging columns, and saving these as custom views, empowers users to see the data that’s most relevant to them. This not only speeds up daily tasks but also supports better decision-making.

6. Leverage Keyboard Shortcuts

Knowing the right keyboard shortcuts can dramatically speed up navigation and data entry. By making these shortcuts second nature, users can work more efficiently and reduce repetitive strain.

7. Find Actions Fast with Action Search

The action search feature lets users quickly locate buttons and functions within the action pane, even in the most complex forms. This reduces time spent searching and ensures that critical actions are never more than a few keystrokes away.

8. Master Fasttab Management

With the ability to expand or collapse all Fasttabs at once, users can declutter their workspace and zero in on the data they need. This is especially valuable when working with forms that contain large volumes of information.

9. Navigate Records with Show List

The Show List button allows users to quickly switch between detailed records, such as customer or item cards, without returning to the main grid. This feature is a hidden gem for anyone who needs to review or compare multiple records efficiently.

10. Unlock Advanced Grid Filtering

Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain offers powerful filtering options, such as “begins with,” “contains,” and “matches”, to help users drill down to exactly the data they need. Mastering these filters turns every grid into a dynamic reporting tool.
