Features being deprecated in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement

Deprecated features are features that Microsoft is planning on removing in a future release of Dynamics 365. The feature will still be available in the current release, which will allow organization the time to prepare and plan on updating their solution before the feature is completely removed.

Deprecation of Microsoft Outlook Client for Dynamics CRM

Towards the end of June, Microsoft announced that the Microsoft Dynamics CRM/365 Outlook client will be deprecated in a future release. The Legacy Outlook client has been around since early versions of Dynamics CRM. The deprecation of the Outlook client does not mean that this is happening immediately, but is planned for the next Major Release (version 10). Version 9.0 is on the way, and the Outlook client will still be included, but with no additional features or enhancements.

Form and Grid Form Context

Finally, after a long wait, editable grids are here. With the release of the editable grids, there have been some changes implemented not only on the grid, but also on the way that data that is manipulated from the form. There is now a single set of code that can be run from both the form and the grid, so that you don’t have to write your code separately for each.
