Post Author: Joe D365 |

There are so many great new features Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 Online, which was just released Q4 of 2014, Microsoft has geared the online update through a "customer-driven update process." What that means to you, is that you can now schedule your organizations Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 update via an "opt-in" model. You will have control of the update process scheduling.

All updates are managed through one centralized location, the CRM Online Administration Center.

 

Access to the CRM online Admin center can be done in three different ways:

  1. Sign into your Office 365
    • Click on Admin drop down menu
    • Go to CRM
  2. Click the link sent via email regarding scheduling your update
    • A scheduling link will be sent to the CRM Administrator from Microsoft
  3. Log into your CRM instance: you will see a notification of an update scheduled

 

The "Manage all CRM Online instances" page allows you to manage updates for all your CRM instances. At this point, you will have the option to approve this schedule or reschedule the update.

To reschedule, click on the reschedule button and follow the prompts to set up and approve a new scheduled update time.

Alternative slots are only used when an organization is not successful with their updates during their scheduled slot.
