Updated User Experience for Sales and Customer Service and Product Update Functionality

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM December 2012 Service Update introduces a variety of new features and functionality, including an updated user experience. For Sales and Customer Service users, the updated user experience provides a new business process flow visualization, which appears at the top of the forms, such as the Opportunity, Lead or Case form. The business process flow guides users through the various phases of the sales and customer service processes. For trials and subscriptions initiated after December 2012, the updated Sales and Customer Service user experience is included by default. Existing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online customers have an option of adding the updated user experience to the Opportunity, Lead and Case forms by installing the Product Updates. This lets Administrators install selected feature updates based upon the specific needs of their organizations. The Product Updates are installed by using the Microsoft Dynamics CRM web application; they cannot be installed programmatically.

•  New attributes are added in the lead, opportunity, and incident (case) entities. The description of each new attribute appears as “For internal use only” in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 12 and in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM December 2012 Service Update until the Product Updates are installed. After the Product Updates are installed, the attribute descriptions are updated in the metadata. For more information, see Lead Entity Metadata, Opportunity Entity Metadata and Incident (Case) Entity Metadata.
• A new entity called complex control (process configuration) is added. This entity is intended for internal use regardless of deployment type and whether or not you install the Product Updates.
• New parameters are added in the FormXml for the Quick Form control, the Link control, web resource controls, the Lookup control, and Subgrid controls. For more information, see  <parameters> (FormXml) and <form> (FormXml).
• The Opportunity.CustomerId attribute’s required level changes from system-required to application-required (referred to as business-required in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM web application), if you have Microsoft Dynamics CRM December 2012 Service Update with the Product Updates installed or your organization’s subscription began after December, 2012. In all other product installations and subscriptions, the required level for this attribute is system-required.
