MB-500: Microsoft Dynamics 365: Finance and Operations Apps Developer Flashcards
(142 cards)
What is a… “Subscription”
A subscription to Finance and Operations apps gives you an online cloud environment.
What is a “Licenses”
Customers must purchase subscription licenses (SLs) for their organization or for their affiliates’ employees and on-site agents, vendors, or contractors who directly or indirectly access Finance and Operations apps. Finance and Operations apps are licensed through Volume Licensing and the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program. See Microsoft Dynamics 365 Licensing guide for more information.
What is… “Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)”
Azure AD is the multi-tenant, cloud-based directory and identity management service from Microsoft that combines core directory services, application access management, and identity protection in a single solution. Finance and Operations uses Azure AD as the store for identity. Access to Azure AD is provided as part of a subscription to Finance and Operations apps.
What is a… “Tenant”
In Azure AD, a tenant represents an organization. This is a dedicated instance of the Azure AD service that an organization receives and owns when it creates a relationship with Microsoft (for example, by signing up for a Microsoft cloud service such as Azure, Intune, or Microsoft 365). Every Azure AD tenant is distinct and separate from other Azure AD tenants.
What is….”Microsoft 365 Admin help center”
A subscription management portal that Microsoft 365 provides for administrators. It’s used to provide management functions through Azure AD as well as subscriptions. As part of these management functions, it provides information about service health.
What is… Lifecycle Services (LCS)
LCS is a collaboration portal that provides an environment and a set of regularly updated services that can help you manage the application lifecycle of your Finance and Operations implementations.
What is…. Azure DevOps
Code version control and to deploy a build environment. Track support incidents, such as work items in Azure DevOps that are submitted to Microsoft through cloud-powered support, and to integrate the Business Process Modeler (BPM) library hierarchy into your Azure DevOps project as a hierarchy of work items. Azure DevOps is also used during code upgrades.
What is a… deployable package
Consist of several models that contain the metadata, binaries, reports, and other resources. Used for deployment of code and customizations to the sandbox, test, and production environments for the application.
What is an IDE
Visual Studio is the integrative development environment (IDE) that is used to develop for Dynamics 365.
What steps should be taken when several developers are on one project?
Perform a Get Latest process to merge all new code that has been checked in by the other developers, then perform a local build to ensure that your code will not disturb what is in the Azure DevOps repository.
How to deploy a package to “Production”
- Create a deployable package in Visual Studio
- To deploy to production, customers can schedule a downtime that will determine when an update will be applied to the production environment by Microsoft. To schedule downtime to apply updates to the environment, the package must have been applied to at least one sandbox environment in the same project. You can submit a service request for this in LCS.
what is… Navigation search shortcut?
A+G
Any page that is accessed by using the Navigation pane menu (the left-most pane) is also available from the Search field. You can press Alt + G to move focus to the Search field, and then type the name of the Finance and Operations apps page. The Search field spans the top of the application user interface.
What is…. Action search shortcut
A+Q
While every action that is provided on a page can be manually accessed from the keyboard, pages often have a lot of actions. The Action search functionality allows you to quickly and efficiently perform actions that you know the names of and with just a few keystrokes. You can press Alt + Q to move focus to the Search field, and then start typing the name of the action. Usually after a few letters, the action you are looking for will be high in the results list.
What are…. Workspaces?
Enable users to be more productive in their daily tasks by providing a single page that they can work from to perform the operations they do daily. Several workspaces come out of the box with Finance and Operations apps. Workspaces can also be created and modified in the user interface with no development.
What are…. User personalization
Users can personalize pages in Finance and Operations apps. Many types of personalization exist, including user options, where you can select a color theme and time zone. Personalization can also be used to change the way the user interface is displayed. For example, a user can specify how pages display when they are first opened. Personalization can also modify the appearance of a page. For example, you can hide, move, and rearrange columns on a grid. Note that user personalization is for that specific user, regardless of the type of personalization.
What is the… Task recorder
In Finance and Operations apps, the Task recorder focuses on high-responsiveness, a flexible extensibility application programming interface, and seamless integrations with consumers of business process recordings. The Task recorder has integrations with the LCS Business process modeler (BPM) tool, which enables you to create business process diagrams from task recordings for analyzing and designing applications. You can use task recordings to create guided experiences through a business process, generate training documents that feature screenshots of the user interface at each step, and build tests that validate your code.
What is the… Office integrations used for?
Several Office integrations that are offered in Finance and Operations apps help increase productivity. Office interactions include the Excel Data Connector add-in. This add-in allows you to export data from Finance and Operations apps to a Microsoft Excel workbook, including adding, modifying, and deleting records. The add-in also has a Workbook Designer that enables you to design an editable custom export workbook that contains an entity and set of fields. Other office integrations include document management to save records to the Azure Blob Storage.

What are the Components and architecture of Finance and Operations apps
Application suite - This is the largest out-of-the-box model. This model includes much of the metadata in the main navigational areas of the application, including modules such as Accounts receivable, Accounts payable, and Warehouse management.
Application foundation - This includes metadata that comprises organizational modeling, number sequences in the system, global address book, and source documentation.
Application platform - This contains runtime and data access metadata, workflow and services, the Dynamics 365 client and presentation, and SSRS reporting.
Describe developer environment at a high level
At a high level, it’s important to understand that you will use Visual Studio to develop for Finance and Operations apps, manage code on your team with source control by using Azure DevOps, perform builds and testing, and create deployable packages.
How to schedule production deployment
Customers can schedule a downtime that will determine when an update will be applied to the production environment by Microsoft.
The package must have been applied to at least one sandbox environment in the same project. You can submit a service request for this in LCS.
