Introduction
Dynamics 365 is a suite of intelligent business applications offering enhanced operational efficiency and revolutionary customer interactions to simplify business operations. FlowOn Logic takes Dynamics to the next level by eliminating the need to write code. It provides an intuitive user experience, empowering functional consultants to do customizations only possible by writing code in custom activities and plugins.
Empowering Consultants
Traditionally, completing a project in Dynamics 365 for a specific business scenario has often required the support of developers. They are called upon to construct specialized coding activities that are integrated into the system to address unique business needs, especially when built-in functionalities fall short. This creates a dependency on developers, extending timelines and complicating the process.
FlowOn Logic revolutionizes this process by empowering functional consultants to directly build custom solutions that solve any business problem or fill the gap in a certain workflow and integrate them with Dynamics 365. This eliminates the developer dependency, reduces project timelines, all without writing a single line of code.
FlowOn Logic - SuperCharging Dynamics 365
FlowOn Logic supercharges Dynamics 365 with powerful, user-friendly features that extend beyond its standard capabilities. Explore these game-changing features below, and know that FlowOn Logic offers even more under the hood:
Built-in Functions
FlowOn Logic built-in functions, are a comprehensive toolkit of available utilities. They are designed to simplify and automate your daily tasks regardless the complexity of the business scenarios. With this conditions you can define conditions, perform calculations like averaging, text manipulation such as capitalization, numerical analysis like counting odds, totaling values, determining minimum or maximum values, date formatting, text concatenation, and much more.
These functions are remarkably versatile, catering to various data types, including booleans, dates and times, decimals, integers, strings, floats, and monetary values. The beauty of these functions lies in their ability to perform tasks without any hidden, unanticipated changes to your data or system, ensuring that your operations remain predictable and controlled.
Blocks Logic
Blocks serve as specialized tools tailored to help you create custom functions. These functions offer the flexibility to accept optional inputs and consistently generate desired outputs. Remarkably, Logic Blocks are designed to ensure smooth operations without causing any unintended changes or "side effects" to your system's overall state.
These diverse blocks encompass a range of types, including formulas, validations, validation sets, decision tables, and decision trees. This assortment empowers you to develop reusable functions that can seamlessly enhance your project's capabilities. By incorporating Logic Blocks, you can effectively bridge gaps and optimize workflows, all without the need for manual coding efforts.
Flows Logic
Flows logic operate as structured sequences, meticulously designed to orchestrate a series of tasks or operations in a specific order. At the heart of every flow are its steps. Each step is like a command, telling the flow what action to do next. These actions can range from basic tasks, like adding an item to a list, to more advanced ones, like checking conditions or looping through data. By stringing these steps together in a flow, you can create a clear and adaptable sequence of operations.
Additionally, flows exhibit a unique versatility, evident in their ability to invoke other flows or even call upon logic blocks, promoting reusability. Above all, they are crafted to perform operations seamlessly, ensuring there are no unintended disruptions or "side effects" to your system's overall state.
Receipt Mechanism
Logic Recipes function as a structured timeline for executing programs on specific entities. They operate as a sequence of events that determine how and when specific logic should be applied during an entity's lifecycle, whether it involves creation, updating, or deletion.
Essentially, they enable us to define and enforce validation checks before any changes are made, specify the exact sequence of operations that occur before and after entity actions, and utilize previously crafted logic flows and blocks as building blocks to execute desired operations. In essence, these recipes connect the dots and ensure that the right logic is executed at the right time, offering a holistic approach to managing entity lifecycles
Benefits of Using FlowOn Logic with Dynamics 365
- Streamlined Customization: FlowOn Logic empowers non-developers, such as functional consultants, to customize Dynamics 365 effectively. This reduces the reliance on developers, resulting in quicker and more agile responses to unique business needs.
- Extended Capabilities: FlowOn Logic augments Dynamics 365 with advanced features, including a toolbox of built-in functions, logic blocks for custom functions, and flows logic for structured task sequences. These features expand the system's capabilities, enabling automation and customization at a higher level.
- Efficient Data Manipulation: The built-in functions in FlowOn Logic provide a versatile toolkit for data manipulation, including calculations, text manipulation, and more. They ensure that operations can be performed on data without unexpected changes, maintaining data integrity.
- Flexibility and Reusability: Logic Blocks and Flows Logic in FlowOn Logic promote flexibility and reusability in customizations. Logic Blocks facilitate the creation of reusable custom functions, while Flows Logic enables the orchestration of task sequences with minimal disruption, making customizations adaptable and efficient.
- Comprehensive Entity Management: With Logic Recipes, FlowOn Logic offers a systematic approach to managing entities in Dynamics 365. It enforces validation checks, sequences operations accurately, and leverages pre-designed logic flows and blocks to ensure that the right actions are taken at the right times during an entity's lifecycle. This comprehensive approach simplifies entity management.
