When to enable Dynamics 365 apps in Power Platform Environments

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 117

Hello everyone,

can someone explain the "Enable Dynamics 365 apps" setting when creating a new environment in more detail. Which D365 apps are they exactly?

What I know so far

  • If the D365 apps are activated, Dataverse already contains tables for D365 Sales (lead, opportunity, etc.), etc.
  • If the 365 apps are disabled, I can still add D365 apps to the environment as resources. E.g. "Business Central Virtual Table".
  • In the settings of an environment (D365 apps deactivated) there is still the button for "Dynamics 365 App for Outlook". However, this does not work.

A few questions

  • Are there any downsides to always activating the D365 apps even if you will never use Sales etc.?
  • Can I really only install "Dynamics 365 App for Outlook" if D365 apps are activated?
  • When activating D365 apps, can I clean up dataverse a bit and delete the tables that are not required (lead, opportunity, etc.)?
  • After activating D365 apps, which of the added components can I use without an additional license?

Thank you for your help and best regards
Nico

    Also super keen on clarity here, did you find a good explainer GER_Nico ?

    Unfortunately not. So far, I've been doing pretty well with always activating the D365 apps. Then at least you have all the functions. Disadvantage: you use unnecessary memory.
