Hey Everyone!
We are using CRM 2016 On Prem and we are considering using different forms on an entity for certain user roles, for example: For the Account entity, we potentially could have a master form, operational form, sales form and accounting form. Each of the forms will have a combination of the same fields and/or different fields. My questions/concerns are:
1. What is the best way to manage edits to the forms to be the most time productive?
A. If we add or change a field, will we have to make the same change to each individual form that is effected?
B. If we have business rules, can they be created independent of each form and/or will they also have to be changed/edited individually?
C. For the mobile app, how do multiple forms work?
D. How does multiple forms effect mappings to our ERP system? Would we have to count for each as well?
2. Would it be better to have 1 form and security on the form sections allowing certain users visibility? If yes, how does that also translate to the mobile app?
Any insight or advice regarding multiple forms is much appreciated! The benefit of having multiple forms to reduce unnecessary scrolling through irrelevant data, so they only see what is meaningful to them is great as well as the ability to have security around forms, however, I don't I want to have to spend lots of time managing them after the fact.
Sorry for all the questions, just want to fully understand the magnitude of the change before we go down the path. :)
Thanks!
