P.S. why stop at one customisable lead qualification dialog? I have several departments that all want different options here – a single customisable dialog doesn’t fit the requirements, I need one for each department :p

Microsoft have a couple of options going forward, (1) innovate and release new features once they have ‘enough’ (2) develop new features and release them when they are ‘finished’. Option (2) is how the product lifecycle has worked up until Polaris and virtually nothing new got delivered in that period. Option (2) is also quite difficult as you can never get everyone to agree on how the functionality should be delivered and you also run the risk of ‘missing the market’ by the time you release something. Option (1) means that you get new functionality out and being used and it can drive conversations with the wider community about what future versions should look like.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I came to the same conclusion as Gonzalo. We would have to delete the opportunity entity as it is created.

This is of course, far from perfect, and makes me wonder what was MSFT thinking. They MUST stop trying to second guess what they believe would be best for everybody and give developers and cutomisers the choice, so the system can be built around the business requirements.

I would much rather have the ability to customise a lead qualification dialog rather than have all three records created. For example, we could configure the form so to deselect the ‘create opportunity’ checkbox by default, and hide the option to create an opportunity altogether. This would be independent of the GUI (be it ‘classic’ or ‘metro’).

The app is available in both the Windows Store for Windows 8 and the App Store for iPad, and, if you’re really diligent, you can find us on Pinpoint (Pinpoint hasn’t really caught up to the whole mobile thing…). It is free, and comes out-of-the-box with the LinkedIn integration. We can also connect other social media sources including Twitter, Facebook, and Google +, but these aren’t available in the free edition.

And, if you’re still with me, we also have a Salesforce edition (App Store for iPad only) that also features the LinkedIn integration.

I understand the desire to create and maintain a high quality marketplace, but this seems to impede both partners and customers (who don’t see everything that’s available – as you’ve noted) and actually reduces the growth and value of the marketplace.

Nice article, thanks for sharing.
May I ask you if you have installed domain controller role ?

thanks
