Add ready-to-use business processes

 

Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2013, Dynamics CRM 2015, Dynamics CRM Online, Dynamics CRM 2016

Microsoft Dynamics 365 includes several ready-to-use business processes for common sales, service, and marketing scenarios – to help you ensure that staff follow consistent steps every time they work with customers.

Before you can use these processes, you need to add them to the system.

Note

Ready-to-use business processes are activated automatically when you add them. If a ready-to-use business process includes workflows or portable business logic rules, you’ll need to activate those separately. For more information about business processes, see Guide staff through common tasks with processes.

The following table shows a list of ready-to-use business processes and what they help you do.
