How to enter and vote for Management Reporter suggestions

  • Article

As the Dynamics CPM team interacts with customers, we often hear great ideas for new features in Management Reporter. When that happens, we tell people to be sure to enter a suggestion so we can track it and other customers who feel the same way can vote on it. We use these suggestions when do our planning for Management Reporter updates.

We’ve been getting quite a few questions lately about where and how to enter or vote on these suggestions, so it seemed like a great time for a refresher on using Microsoft Connect.
