Hello all,
please excuse my question, I am new to Dynamics.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Normal entity and the Activity entity?
When should you use which entity?
I would really appreciate your help.
Hi Franzmann,
First of all, you need to know what is an Activity.
An activity can be thought of as any action for which an entry can be made on a calendar. You can create activities for yourselves, can assign them to someone else, or can share them with other users or teams.
1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Normal entity and the Activity entity?
For example, the privileges of Account entity are granted separately in the following screenshot. And the privileges of the activity entities are uniformly granted.
2. When should you use which entity?
This is determined by the definition of the Entity.
You may consider setting it as an Activity in the following situations.
Here are some simple examples of which entities can be created as Activity entities, such as Meetings, Projects and so on.
Hope this will help you.
