After you have installed Trillium Quality for Dynamics you must deploy it to the 365 environment using the Trillium Quality for Dynamics Deployment Manager. Deploying Trillium Quality for Dynamics adds the following elements to your Dynamics 365 environment:
-
Two solutions - Trillium Quality for Dynamics® and Trillium Quality MatchLink for Dynamics®.
-
Trillium fields (added to the contact, account, lead, customer address, and custom entities; Trillium fields are not added to any forms or views by default).
-
Six reports.
-
TSS Merge, TSS Duplicate Popup, and TSS Match Display security roles.
-
Entities used for batch processing, matching, and merging.
The Deployment Manager creates a log file during the deployment process. The file contains errors encountered during program execution, the date and time of each entry, and all output written to the screen. At the end of the deployment process, an option allows you to view or save the log file. The log file is overwritten every time you run the Deployment Manager.

If it is not found, an error is message displayed.Important: Dynamics 365 cloud instances enforce Multi-Factor authentication on user accounts. The Deployment Manager does not support Multi-Factor authentication. It is recommended to use a service account configured with OAuth for deploying the plug-in.

You cannot modify the name or path for the configuration file, but you can select and copy it. The configuration file contains information required for deployment. When you click Save, the configuration file is updated to include the information you supply in this window.
