This guide assumes the successful installation and configuration of D&B Hoovers in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 environment. If not, please see the D&B Hoovers Microsoft Dynamics 365 Installation Guide.

To customize D&B Hoovers Dynamics 365 after installation, follow these steps:

a. From the Account section of Dynamics 365, choose the ellipsis menu icon, then select D&B Hoovers.

b. OR, from the Sales menu, select D&B Hoovers.

Tip: Sign in with a Dynamics 365 username and password if not already logged in.

1. Select the username in the upper right corner and then select CRM Admin.

User Access (Assigning Licenses)

Once on the CRM Admin page, adding and removing user access to the D&B Hoovers platform is quick and easy. Follow the steps below to Add/Remove Dynamics 365 users.

1. Find the Dynamics 365 user(s) under the “Available Dynamics 365 Users Section” – Hold the [Ctrl] button to select multiple users at once.

2. Select Add/Remove to grant/disable access to the D&B Hoovers platform for the selected Dynamics 365 user(s).

Note - The D&B Hoovers Users column indicates the number of available seats in parenthesis next to the column heading.

3. Mass upload a list of Dynamics 365 users to D&B Hoovers in a CSV format (Comma-separated values) by clicking on Choose File. The imported users replace the Available Dynamics 365 Users and can be administered as in the previous steps.

Company Information

1. Read and Write Currencies As: Millions, Thousands or Single units – D&B currency

fields are written to Dynamics 365, as well as the assumed scale when these Dynamics 365 fields are displayed in either the “Updated Account” or “Update Lead” pages.

2. Automatically Flag Existing Records in CRM: Automatically flag records that already exist in the CRM and are associated with a KeyID.

Account, Contacts and Leads Field Mapping (Select which fields are used to populate the CRM)

Field mapping allows the administrator to map data types between D&B Hoovers and Dynamics 365 fields (both standard and custom fields) when populating CRM records with D&B data. These settings also control rules for overwriting or protecting existing data points in Dynamics 365 and setting required fields. For example, when sending company information from D&B Hoovers, fields like address, company name, and revenue can be required so all accounts have uniform information.

1. Matching Fields: Record matching and duplication detection use CRM billing and/or

shipping standard address fields by default. To use different address fields, map the desired fields using the drop-downs. These Matching fields are used when manually matching a record from the QuickView Profile or when CRM duplicates are detected.

2. MS Dynamics Fields: List of available standard and custom Dynamics 365 fields unique to each customer’s environment.

3. D&B Fields: Drop-down list of available D&B fields to map to the specific Dynamics 365 field.

4. Protected Fields: This setting protects a field from being overwritten once it has been set with a non-empty value.

5. Required Fields: This setting requires a field’s value to be updated every time the user updates a Dynamics 365 record from either the “Update Account” or “Update Lead” pages.

Account Options

Updating accounts with D&B Hoovers provides the option to link to Parent Accounts. If there is no parent account, then D&B Hoovers will create one. Accounts can be linked to Parent or Ultimate Parent from the QuickView Profile or when sending an Account to CRM. See the image above for all available options.

Configure Business Contacts (when applicable)

If a pool of Business Contacts credits is part of the subscription, D&B Hoovers administrators see an additional link in the user name menu: Manage Business Contacts.

New clients onboard with the following settings:

1. Site Credit Cap Setting: All users have the default pool size

2. Default User Pool Size: 0 3. Users will not be able to Send to CRM

or Download contacts with emails or direct dials until an administrator changes these settings.

Reference the Appendix for information on the various settings available to D&B Hoovers administrators to configure Business Contacts access.

Pushing Company Information to Dynamics 365 from the D&B Hoovers Application

Users can send company information to Dynamics 365 directly from the D&B Hoovers tab. In this example, information is being sent to Dynamics 365 from the company profile in the D&B Hoovers application.

1. Select the Actions button located at the top of the page. 2. Then select the Send Company to CRM option.

3. Select the relevant destination for your company to be sent - either Account or Lead. 4. Choose the Account/Lead Owner by selecting a name from the dropdown.

10

5. Press Continue – D&B Hoovers completes a search of all the customer’s Accounts and Leads for duplicates. The application uses fuzzy matching on variations of the company name and prioritizes the matches based on available KeyID numbers.

6. Potential duplicates are presented for resolution. Users can: Update Matching Accounts/Leads/Contacts, Create new Account/Leads/Contacts, or Do Nothing for each duplicate one by one.

7. Upon completing these steps, the user receives a message that states Sent [number]

records to CRM Successfully. The records are then available in the Dynamics 365 environment populated with D&B data.

11

Populating an Account/Lead in Dynamics 365 Using the D&B Hoovers QuickView Profile

1. Populate the new account with a name (If it’s an existing account it will already have an

Account or Lead name). 2. Match the Account to the correct company in the D&B Hoovers QuickView Profile by

clicking the Radio button. 3. Click OK to sync the D&B Account to this page.

4. Populate a Dynamics 365 Record with D&B Data: Once a D&B record is synced to an

Account in Dynamics 365, users can select the Update option in the upper left corner of the QuickView Profile to initiate a Stare & Compare analysis of CRM data vs. D&B data. This is only necessary for new records when the Administrator does not have Automatically Update Mapped Fields enabled or if a user wishes to update an existing

12

record with fresh data.

5. The Stare & Compare view shows information already in the record alongside D&B

Hoovers values for that field and highlights any differences. 6. Information highlighted in yellow identifies data that does not match between D&B

Hoovers and Dynamics 365. Information highlighted in blue indicates a direct match. 7. Users can select the Check All/None box to action all data elements at once, or

individually check/uncheck the desired elements. 8. Elements that are not selectable (if any) indicate fields that are set as required (contain a

checkmark) or protected (remain blank and cannot be checked) by an Administrator. 9. Selecting Update at the bottom completes the process and the record reflects the new

data.

APPENDIX Business Contacts Configuration

The Business Contacts checkbox authorizes CRM users to:

• Download contacts with emails and direct phone numbers up to their respective Credit Caps and a maximum of 10,000 per transaction.

• Send to CRM contacts with emails and direct phone numbers across multiple companies at once up to their respective Credit Caps and the lower of 2,000 or your organization's custom limit per transaction.
