For more information, see the announcement on CustomerSourcehttps://mbs.microsoft.com/partnersource/northamerica/news-events/news/RapidStartServicesDiscontinued or PartnerSourcehttps://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/northamerica/news-events/news-events/news/RapidStartServicesDiscontinued.

As the Customer administrator for a configuration project in Microsoft Dynamics ERP RapidStart Services, you assign groups of questions to the appropriate business experts in your organization. The business experts are responsible for answering the questions, and their answers are used to set up your organization’s implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.

Business experts who sign in to the RapidStart Services tool have access only to the questions groups that have been assigned to them. By assigning a target completion date to a question group, you can see whether the business expert is making progress to complete the assigned tasks on time.

Before you can assign a business expert to a question group in RapidStart Services, the following prerequisites must be met:

• The business expert must be added to the organization as a user. To add a business expert as a user, associate the business expert’s Microsoft account (formerly Windows Live ID) with the RapidStart Services service in online services.

  For information about how to complete this prerequisite, see Add users and assign roles in RapidStart Services.

• The business expert must be assigned to the appropriate role in your RapidStart Services service.

  For information about how to complete this prerequisite, see Add users and assign roles in RapidStart Services.

• The functional area that contains the group of questions that the business expert has to answer must be included in the template that you are using for your RapidStart Services project.

  For information about how to add question groups to functional areas, see Create a question group in RapidStart Services and Move a question group in RapidStart Services.

After these prerequisites have been met, use this procedure to assign a business expert to a group of questions.
