Similar to any other platform, Dynamics CRM requires constant care and attention. An administrator of the system has the task of monitoring the system, analyzing its performance, and intervening where necessary to make improvements.
In a standard out-of-the-box configuration, all the system management options are collected in the SETTINGS area. You can reach this by going to the navigation bar at the top of the screen and selecting SETTINGS from the options presented, as shown in the following screenshot:
Note
When working with a heavily-customized system, the SETTINGS area might be removed, renamed, or relocated to a different location on the navigation bar. In addition, some options can be removed entirely. The navigation and settings options are security-trimmed so that the user can only access the settings options that they are allowed to.
