Monthly updates

As you know, the cloud platform is locked as of update 3. A locked platform not only enables rich customizations that use extensions but also lets you to make updates without doing costly code upgrades. Starting with update 4, the cloud platform will release monthly updates. Therefore, you can keep new and existing environments up to date with the latest innovations at the click of a button.

To install the latest monthly platform updates in an existing environment, on http://lcs.dynamics.com, go to the Shared asset library, and select the Software deployable package tab. There, you will see that the platform update 4 package is ready for deployment, as shown in the following illustration. You can import this package into the project’s asset library and then apply it to a specific environment through the update flows. For more details, see the upgrade wiki.

Platform update 4 package

For new environments, the topology will include update 4.

Topology that includes update 4

In Dynamics 365 for Operations version 1611, the platform models can’t be overlayered. Therefore, because all the updates are binary from this release forward, the Platform X++ Updates tile is no longer required. Customers who are on versions that are earlier than Dynamics 365 for Operations version 1611 will continue to see the Platform X++ Updates tile for any customizations to the platform models.

Because binary updates are cumulative, we recommended that you always apply the latest update. For more details, see the LCS blog.

Here’s an overview of some of the other features in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations platform update 4.

Embedded Power BI reports are licensed for all users

Power BI Embedded lets all users access rich graphical views of analytical data that is bundled with Dynamics 365 for Operations applications. The reports are embedded in the Dynamics 365 for Operations application. No additional licenses are required in order to access them.

Support for the existing tile pinning experience that is provided through PowerBI.com service integration will continue. To access some PowerBI.com functionality outside this embedded experience, you must obtain a Pro license separately.

Build and release workspaces that have embedded Power BI reports

You can now embed full-page, Power BI–driven interactive reports in workspaces. By using the rich infographics and visuals that Power BI supports (even the many controls that are provided by third parties), workspaces can provide a highly visual but interactive experience for the user.

Workspaces that has embedded Power BI reports

If you’re a power user or business analyst, you can use Power BI tools to tweak the ready-made reports or create new reports. If you’re a developer, you can use the reports that your users develop as workspaces to create rich navigation experiences within the product. If you’re in the partner and independent software vendor (ISV) community, you can now build rich workspaces that include Power BI experiences, and you can release these workspaces as part of your solution.

If you’re an ISV or a systems integrator, you can package Power BI–enabled workspaces (together with navigational experiences) as part of a Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS) solution. Your customers get the same experience but don’t have to have a PowerBI.com subscription. The solution works with just Dynamics 365 for Operations.

For more details about these features and other Power BI features, see the BI blog.

Mobility

We have made major progress on the mobile framework for Dynamics 365 for Operations that lets partners build workspaces that are unique and fully functional mobile experiences. These new capabilities make it easier for users to interact with Dynamics 365 for Operations both online and offline. The mobile framework now supports iOS and Android devices. For more details, see the upcoming mobility blog.

Visual scheduling

We have made updates to visual scheduling in this release:

  • You can now explicitly order activities in the Gantt chart. You can set the order of activities in the Gantt chart and move tasks within the same project.
  • Visual icons are available for tasks. For example, there are icons for warning and errors.
  • Date and time formats are now localized.
  • You can perform drag-and-drop operations on multiple selected tasks.
  • A resource capacity bar clearly flags time intervals where there is overbooking.

Visual scheduling

Feedback

We always value your feedback. As part of this update, we periodically prompt you to rate your recommendation of the product. We encourage you to provide this feedback to help us continually improve your experience. We also encourage you to provide details about areas where we can improve.
