CHANGE ROLLUP FIELD RECURRENCE SCHEDULE IN DATAVERSE / DYNAMICS 365

One of the features in Dynamics 365 is the rollup field type where you can perform aggregation and calculation of data in a parent record based on child records.

You create a rollup field by adding a new field, choosing the field and data type, and building the logic for the calculation.

One of the important consideration of a rollup field is the frequency of its calculation where, for each entity that contains a rollup field, a recurring system job will be automatically created in order to calculate the rollup field. This calculation is done asynchronously based on a frequency set.

By default, it is set to 1 hour, however, you can change this frequency by following the below steps.
  1. In the environment, go to Settings page and under Audit and logs menu, click on System jobs
    rollup field 0

  2. Choose the view All Rollup Fields Calculation Jobs and open the calculate rollup fields job which contains the entity name. For this article, the entity is account.
    rollup field 1

  3. Open the Job and click on Actions -> Modify Recurrence
    rollup field 2

  4. In the Modify Recurrence page, adjust the frequency as per needed and click OK
    rollup field 3

On the other hand, you might have scenarios where you need that the calculation to be done immediately, therefore, you can force the calculation of a rollup field using JavaScript or C# as per this article

Hope This Helps!

DYNAMICS 365 REFERENCE PANEL

Dynamics 365 product team is always working to improve and give the best user experience. Therefore, the continuous evolutions of the different areas and possibilities are one of the most critical things to bring. In this post, I will talk about one of these user experience improvements which is Reference Panel that was introduced with the Dynamics 365 V9. So what is exactly a Reference Panel? The Reference Panel is a type of section that can be added to the form that allows users to move across different types of sub grids and quick view controls in a single place without scrolling down or up. Let's take the example of the account form, where many quick view forms and sub grids exist inside (contacts, recent cases and opportunities...). When the users enter the form, they have to scroll up and down through the form in order to check the sub grids and their data which is sometimes annoying for them. ...
