To tailor Trillium Quality for Dynamics to suit your processing needs, you may choose to modify entity forms (as described on Modifying Entities, Forms, and Roles) and the Trillium Quality for Dynamics web resource XML file. During development and testing, you may find it useful to isolate these changes in a separate solution. When you are ready to transition to a production environment, export the customized solution and import it into your production environment.
Isolating customizations in a separate solution also allows migration to future versions of Trillium Quality for Dynamics, as customizations can be more easily migrated.
