From the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management: Feature callouts; Absence codes; Asset management; Workflow email alerts

In this review of the Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management blogs:

• Feature callouts opt out and opt in…
• How to use absence codes to prompt workers for late clock-in on production floor execution
• Asset management: Maximize ROI on every asset
• Setting up workflow email alerts

Feature callouts opt out and opt in…

Writing on his Dynamicspedia blog, André Arnaud De Calavon stated that it’s been nearly two years since he and Hylke Britstra last wrote about feature notifications in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. 

When a new update is released, he wrote, some new features may come with a message about the feature that includes a link to learn more about it. You can choose to ignore these messages, but if you do, they will show up again the next time.

He noted that these notifications let users know when new features are added in a specific version. In his blog post, Arnaud De Calavon explained when and where these notifications are useful and how you can turn them off in production environments if needed. He also discussed how you can disable all feature callouts if you don’t want to receive them.

How to use absence codes in D365 to prompt workers for late clock-in on production floor execution

On the Logan Consulting blog, Maya Ikenberry asked if you’ve ever had a worker clock in late on the production floor execution (PFE) screen and wondered why they were late. Rather than find the worker, ask what happened, and update their timecard by hand, D365 Finance has a feature that can help.
