In this blog, we will take you through some critical guidelines that can transform the new interface to fit into the organisational needs and thus make it better.
1. UNDERSTANDING THE NEW LAYOUT
Left-Side Navigation
In the 2025 Dynamics CRM versions, the primary set of available navigation options moved to the left side of the screen, following the approach of the 2019 Unified Interface but offering better graphics distinction. This change keeps the sitemap open that allows one to easily switch between apps without him or her having to close or minimise a current application. That location on the side of the page has the advantage that users can open multiple features without the need to minimize the windows all the time.
Command Bar Enhancements
The command bar in the 2025 interface remains at the top but has some design tweaks done to it. Additional features regarding icons are colour-coded icons which make it more visually appealing and which makes it easier to distinguish between commands. This is as part of Microsoft’s continuous process of homogenising all the CRM applications on the market while at the same time, making it easier to navigate through the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Services command frames.
Task Flow Improvements
As with prior editions, the task flow persists to address users’ needs by helping to complete frequent tasks in the shortest amount of time. As to the integration with the other task, users will be able to experience an even better integration of the requested task flow in 2025, and will be able to perform a rich work job in a few clicks.
2. Customizing Themes
Trying for personalization is crucial while integrating the Dynamics CRM to business brands. The 2025 interface also permits altering of themes to the correct company branding. If you go to the settings and advanced choices and click on choosing themes, you can easily change background colours, texts colours and logos.
– How to Change Themes:

3. Optimizing Dashboards
Dashboards in Dynamics CRM offer users a single point of access to essential figures and information, which is why they need to be customized.
Personalized Widgets
The Dynamics CRM 2025 provides a personalized dashboard targeting solutions wherein you can drag and drop widgets to be placed where important data will be easily seen. There are many choices of chart types, grids, and lists for you to use in order to present your data. For the sales force, the key is to customize the home screen and other marketing dashboards to lead tracking, revenue projections, and pipeline status.
Set User-Specific Dashboards
Dashboards can be created in multiple forms and you can even share these dashboards between users depending on their rank. For instance, a salesperson may require daily sales figures while a manager operates on a different level that requires overall performance of the team. This role-based value helps to reduce the amount of information displayed in the form of reports, thus increasing performance.
4. Customizing Forms and Views
Enhanced Form Designer
In Dynamics Form, data required for customer interaction is captured and stored, and in the 2025 version of Dynamics CRM, the form designer is more interactive. Through the drag- and-drop mechanism, its possible to define the appearance of the form, join related fields and establish the sequence of the data. This reduces the time and effort necessary to enter data into the system while at the same time, guaranteeing that important information is easily retrievable.
– Form Customization Tips:
- Remove unnecessary fields to streamline data entry.
- Group related fields together for better readability.
- Adjust field sizes to improve the user experience on different devices.
Custom Views
Views define how data is to be shown and in Dynamics CRM 2025 the management of views has been enhanced. The changes include pinning the views you use most frequently, choose which aspects you’d like to filter data by based on your position, and organise various layouts. For instance, a company may develop a number of Views, where leads are grouped according to value or a customer support view is given exclusively to the unresolved tickets.
5. Leveraging Power Automate
Some Dynamics 365 features include Power Automate, formerly known as Microsoft Flow, which can make your team hundreds of workflow automation solutions. With the 2025 update, automation gets simpler to create and configure.
– Automation Examples:
– Automatically send follow-up emails when a lead status changes.
– Notify a manager when a deal reaches a specific stage.
– Auto-assign tasks based on customer behavior or form responses
It is especially evident that assigning repetitive tasks to performers frees up the attention of the team regarding the development of strategies and the consideration of customer needs.
6. Role-Based Customization
All the people who use Dynamics CRM do not require the same tools and data at their fingertips all the time. The 2025 interface improves the system experience by providing admin users with the possibility to set access to the system for every role.
– Security-Driven Customization: Adapt content provided to the viewers according to their position in an organisation. For instance, a support agent may require customer service linked modules only, while a staff in the sales team may need access to leads and the sales funnel reports.
– App-Specific Layouts: The fields and tools can now, depending on the department, be modified so that the particular app within the Dynamics CRM can contain only those fields and tools relevant to that department. This can entail changes in the Sales Hub, the Marketing Hub or the other specific application for the firm’s operations
7. Customizing Reports and Analytics
