Description

Application mode

Set whether Microsoft Dynamics 365 can be opened in a browser window without menu, navigation, and command bars.

Open Microsoft Dynamics 365 in Application mode

Select this check box to enable application mode. When this mode is enabled, Microsoft Dynamics 365 can be opened in a browser without menus, navigation, or toolbars. Hiding these parts of the browser causes Microsoft Dynamics 365 to appear like a separate application rather than a website. By default, application mode isn’t enabled.

Plug-in and custom workflow activity tracing

Enable logging to plug-in trace log

You can now store detailed information about an exception or trace event raised by a custom code to help developers debug plug-ins or custom workflow activity that they develop using the customization methods supported by Microsoft Dynamics 365.

  • To capture trace logs only for exceptions, select Exception.

  • To capture logs for all errors and general trace events, select All.

  • To disable capturing trace logs, select Off.
