Overview
Admin Panel for Component Management on Microsoft Dynamics is a one-stop-shop for Administrators designed to simplify and standardize how Dynamics components are tracked and managed in an environment. The panel addresses long-standing challenges related to component tracking, managed/unmanaged layers validations, and effective data migrations. Previously, teams relied on separate Excel-based deployment trackers per customer to manage component Status (On/Off). This manual process was time-consuming, error-prone, and often caused issues during data migrations, environment validations, and post-deployment activities, especially when components were not restored to their correct Status.
Admin Panel for Component Management enables Administrators to do the following:
Eliminates reliance on Excel-based manual deployment trackers
Identifies components that may be left disabled after a data migration
Identifies unmanaged components caused by unmanaged layers or customizations
Allows filtering of components by Category, Layer, and Primary Entity Name to support data migration
Provides direct navigation links to component editors for quick reviews or modifications
Enables proactive environment validations before a customer raises any issues
Sends automated email notifications that list Non-Compliant components
Emails run on a weekly schedule however, can also be triggered on-demand providing real-time visibility into an environment's overall status
IMPORTANT:
Admin Panel for Component Management is a stand alone package - Technomile.Contracts.Deployment, which does not have any product upgrade dependencies.
