GDPR in Attract?

Posted on by Nicu Aleman
Recently I read a Microsoft Community  answer provided by Harsh Srivastava (Program Manager for Dynamics 365 for Talent at Microsoft), one of the great guys responsible for the work on Talent (mainly Attract) and for bringing fast the new functionalities.The question on the community was about deleting a candidate profile and my answer was to do it from CDS. This is a good answer, if you don't care about the European GDPR regulations :)). But if you do care, Harsh's answer is much better. ...

Partner Trials for Dynamics 365: Finally working the way they should!

Posted on by Nicu Aleman
Microsoft has finally fixed an annoying issue for Presales/Sales consultants, but also for customers looking for a trial. When going on trials.dynamics.com, consultants were asked to enter a company email and not a personal one.If you would have used the company email, with the corporate domain, the trials would have been associated to the corporate Office 365 account and only system administrators could have configure and use the trial. Also, if administrators already have created the t...

Leave and Absence: Changing the unit from hours to days

Posted on by Nicu Aleman
When I started implementing Dynamics 365 for Talent 2 years ago, the Leave and Absence module was not very "friendly" with the European employees. Leave and Absence is probably the only module in CoreHR, that Microsoft really took care of, and invested in new features and updates. All the focus was on Attract, Offer Management, Onboard and CDS integration. Leave and Absence is an important module in the HR framework, but it's still missing important features, such as Time Reporting and Attendanc...

Working with more recruiters in Attract

Posted on by Nicu Aleman
I had the following scenario, in a recent Dynamics 365 for Talent implementation: a team of recruiters was sharing responsibilities during the hiring process; one was doing the interviews, other one was creating and sending the offers, in Offer Management (of course, after buying the Comprehensive Hiring Add-on). The first recruiter has enabled the option "Launch Offer Management App on Prepare Offer". The second recruiter received and email, notifying him that the candidate has been ...

Having trouble accessing your Talent instance from your LAN?

Posted on by Nicu Aleman
I recently started the implementation of a Dynamics 365 for Talent project for a customer with many security restrictions and the project team was complaining that they don't have access to the the public link: https://signin.hr.talent.dynamics.com. They were getting the "wonderful" error This site cannot be reached...Browsing the internet and Microsoft resources, I stumbled upon this blog Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations.

Extend Talent by using PowerApps and Microsoft Flow – Example scenarios

Posted on by Nicu Aleman
Microsoft has just updated the docs.microsoft.com page with the real-life scenarios and the solutions that can be downloaded and used to extend Talent. The key to this (and my personal advice to the Dynamics 365 for Talent Consultants) is: start learning CDS and PowerApps. That is the way!Or, if you already know Dynamics CRM Configuration and Customization, use those skills.The full article is here, published by Microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/t...

How to create custom fields in CoreHR and send them to PowerApps (Common Data Services)

Posted on by Nicu Aleman
Starting March 26th, Microsoft opened up Dynamics 365 for Talent by allowing the creation of fields and sending the data to CoreHR. This was not possible until now and creates new opportunities for consultants to get data from CoreHR and use them in integration scenarios (with Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, but also other applications).Watch my video for how to do it:The available entities are: Worker Ethnic origin Veteran status Language code Job Job type...

Extending Talent with PowerApps and Microsoft Flow (Real Case Scenarios)

Posted on by Nicu Aleman
Microsoft Partners are still worried about the extensibility features provided by Talent, mainly because Talent is a locked application, for now. You can't modify if you have AX background , you can't modify it with CRM customization framework. You can only do things in PowerApps. This makes a lot of sense for Microsoft, thought, who tries to push (better said, force) partners to move towards CDS and PowerApps.A great article was published on docs.microsoft.com, on March 4th, providing also ...

No Gauge? No Problem! Microsoft Forms Pro is here!

Posted on by Nicu Aleman
On the 31st of October 2018, Microsoft has retired the recently released Gauge. No reason was given, but it was no longer available. The Dynamics 365 Talent community was a bit surprised, because Talent (mainly Attract) is missing a very important tool for Surveys, Questionnaires, candidates evaluations etc.After almost 6 months, Microsoft has released some information about the a new version of Microsoft Forms  - Microsoft Forms Pro (more details here https://formspro.microsoft.com/en-us/) ...
