The tool we will discuss today is an extension that can be installed for Edge or Chrome to enhance your Dynamics administrative prowess. Level Up for Dynamics 365 is an extension you can download from the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge Add-ons store. Once it’s added to your browser, refresh your page, and you are ready.

Open your Dynamics 365 instance and click the level-up icon on your toolbar. It looks like this:

1. Impersonate:

This feature allows you to log in CRM as a different user, which comes in handy when:

  • You want to test your customized security roles.
  • Check an issue a user is complaining about, but you are not experiencing.
  •  Create a record using a different user or anything else you need to do with multiple users.

All you need to do is click the “impersonate” tab on the level-up app, choose the user needed from the drop-down then press “ON”. 

The system will refresh itself and see that you are logged in as a different user.

After you are done, simply click “OFF,”  the page will refresh itself again, and you will be logged in again with your ID.

2. Processes & Business Rules:

Another important feature is the processes and business rules. This one allows you to open directly all the business rules and processes associated with the record or entity you are on.

So, for example, if you are on an account form, click the “processes & business rule” button, and a new page will appear with all account processes and business rules.

Without this tool, as advised by top Dynamics consultants, I had to click on so many options. First, I used to click “advanced settings,” go to processes, then filter the processes on the ‘Account’ entity. So, as you can see, you will save a lot of clicks using this tool.

3. Blur fields& Reset Blur:

I like this one, as recommended by top Dynamics consultants, because it makes it easier to take screenshots of your instance without showing your data or creating a new dummy record just to take a screenshot of it.

This will be very useful when creating a presentation or a document for different customers.

All you need to do is click “Blur fields,” it will look like this.

To undo the blur, click “Reset Blur.”

4. God mode:

Yes, you heard it right! It’s called God Mode because it unlocks all ‘read-only’ fields. For example, this record has its address information fields set to read only:

When you press “God mode,”, all those fields will be editable like this (I also used the blur fields option to take this screenshot!):

These are just some of my favorite features I use the most from the Level Up Extension app, but you can find many more useful tools. Like: Here is another one: 

5. Clone Record:

This feature clones the record you have opened and creates another one. I use it while testing my customizations and when I want to save time creating testing records.

Also, there is “Record ID,” which gets the record GUID for you and copies it to your clipboard to paste it anywhere needed.
