Everything you build in Dynamics 365 CE is made from the same core building blocks. Learn them one at a time, then put them together in a final hands-on chapter.
What a table is, standard vs. custom tables, and the different ownership types.
Adding fields to a table, and choosing the right data type for what you're storing.
How tables connect to each other: one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many.
The layout users see and edit: sections, tabs, quick view, and quick create forms.
System vs. personal views, and controlling which columns and filters show up in a list.
Quick Find vs. Advanced Find — fast lookups vs. precise, saveable queries.
Simple if-this-then-that logic on a form, without writing any code.
How apps, areas, groups, and subareas control what shows up in the navigation.
Guided, stage-by-stage processes that walk a user through a task from start to finish.
Classic background automation — server-side, no code, and still very much in use.
A capstone walkthrough combining a table, column, form, view, and business rule into one example.
