Explorer
  • c360 Explorer will allow users to ‘Search’ and ‘Explorer’ CRM data in a user friendly single screen

  • Combine keyword searches with specific attribute searches
    • Keyword search on ‘Contoso’ where ‘date updated’ was last month and ‘updated’ by ‘John Smith’
  • View snapshot data right within the search results. For example, for an account record, see the number of contacts, number of open cases, primary contact and phone numbers within the snapshot data


  • Search through SharePoint documents from within Explorer


  • With the speed of an ‘Internet’ Search and accuracy of a ‘desktop’ search and ease of use of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, c360 Explorer will be the ultimate productivity tool for CRM users

Relationship Explorer

  • The c360 Relationship Explorer has been expanded to include Relationship Charting/Diagramming functionality. Relationship Explorer will continue to show all relationships between entities but will now allow users to create multiple relationship diagrams each showing informal relationships. The new charting functionality has been built using Microsoft SilverLight and embodies the phrase ‘a picture paints 1000 words’
  • With this tool, users will be able to learn about an organizations hidden dynamics by viewing the diagram as opposed to reading through page of notes. The relationship diagramming will allow organization to use the tool in an icon or label based setup
