OPEN DYNAMICS 365 ADVANCED FIND BY DEFAULT IN DETAILED MODE

To the ones who use Advanced Find, today's article is related to how you can optimize its usage.

By default, and when you open the Advanced Find page, it will display the current view you are seeing, with the conditions predefined.
For example Active accounts or Active contacts will display the condition Status | Equals | Active.

In addition, you will notice that you will not be able to apply more filters in the Advanced Find, unless you click the Details button.

In this article, we will see how to open the Advanced Find in detailed mode and directly change the filters without clicking additional button
  1. Advanced Find is by default opened in Simple mode

  2. Once you click Details button, you can change the existing filters and add new ones if needed
