Exploring the Modern Advance Find in Dynamics 365 CRM

What is Modern Advance Find in Dynamics 365?

Modern Advance Find is an enhanced version of the legacy Advance Find. With modern advanced find, you can access any entity table within a model-driven app through search and use advanced filters to explore the data easily. Be more productive with navigation by searching for a view by its name in the enhanced view selector. The new view management experience will provide you options to share views so you can collaborate with your team easily. Managing views is simpler with personalization options to build your own set of views.

How to enable Modern Advance Find?

  • Navigate to Product >> Features as shown below.
  • Search for the feature called “Advanced find options” and enable the “Modern advanced find in model-driven apps”.
  • Save the settings on completion of the above configuration. This steps will enable the Modern Advance Find in your Dynamics 365 environment.

What are the features of Modern Advance Find?

Feature 1 – Display tables / entities specific to the Model-Driven App

We can now limit the tables / entities from appearing into the Modern Advance Find. The Modern Advance Find will only display the tables which are present in the Modern-Driven Apps metadata.

In our example, we cannot view the “Appointment” table in the Modern Advance Find as this Appointment table is not added in Model-Driven App’s metadata as shown below.

We need to add the missing tables in the Model-Driven Apps in-order to display them in the Modern Advance Find as shown below.
