Notes

  1. Parent (Regarding): When you do a Set Regarding, the Company field in Outlook is replaced by the name of the regarding object from Dynamics 365. If not syncing, the set regarding action in Dynamics 365 for Outlook and in Dynamics 365 should not change the Company field in Outlook. Users can control updating the Company field for Outlook contacts in Dynamics 365 for Outlook. More information: Help & Training: Set personal options that affect tracking and synchronization between Dynamics 365 and Outlook or Exchange

  2. When the Contact entity is deactivated (Status Reason: Inactive), the Outlook field in Outlook will have Category [Dynamics 365] Inactive. This is to help differentiate the inactive vs. active status from a pool of tracked Outlook contacts.

  1. Due Date: Includes Date and Time. When a task is created in Outlook, the system assigns the task a reminder time. Reminder information is not synced from Outlook to Dynamics 365. However, when a task has Due Time set in Dynamics 365, it will be synchronized to reminder time in Outlook.

    If there is a Start Date value but no Due Date value in Outlook/Exchange, Outlook/Exchange will auto fill the Due Date value with the Start Date whenever you change the Start Date directly in Outlook; If there is Start Date value but no Due Date value in Dynamics 365, Dynamics 365 will auto fill the Due Date value with the Start Date. These are controlled by Outlook/Exchange and Dynamics 365 independently, not controlled by sync directions here.

  2. Regarding: When you do a Set Regarding, the Regarding field in Outlook is replaced by the name of the regarding object from Dynamics 365. Until you sync, the Set Regarding action in Dynamics 365 for Outlook and in Dynamics 365 should not change the Regarding field in Outlook.
