Read auditing changes in Microsoft Dynamics 365/CRM

On the Ledgeview Partners blog, Julia Flaherty pointed out that recently there have been some important changes to read auditing in Dynamics 365 that users and admins should be aware of.

For one thing, read auditing will log user and admin activity for each entity that you have auditing turned on for.

Read Auditing will log each time the entity data is accessed by the user in the application or programmatically using API (application programming interface).

You can read about the two key types of read auditing here.  

Preview: Email-based sign in for Dynamics 365 for phones app

On the Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Team Blog, Kavishi Agarwal announced that "email-based sign-in" for the D365 for phones app is now available in preview for iOS users.

Agarwal explained that users of D365 for phones can now sign in to the app with just one click using their work email addresses. In addition, they will now have access to all their apps in a single apps list, which means they won't have to manually sign out and switch between multiple D365 organizations to use their apps.
