Creating Custom Fields for Accounts & Contacts

Posted on by 5

Can we easily create custom fields or change field labels in Customer Service Accounts & Contacts?

We are small not for profit group, new to Dynamics 365, who purchased 1year subscription  of Customer Service Professional for 4 users; thinking will be great for our team initially as basic CRM, but to evolve as we become more sophisticated with our ability/use of features/functionality

Thanks,

    Also, if you want to change the label of field in the form, you can navigate to Forms and open one form you need.

    Double-click one field to open 'Field Properties' dialog, then change label.

    Note: The user need be assigned security roles of "System Administrator" & "System Customizer", then the user can access customizations,
