SYNCHRONIZING DYNAMICS AX WITH
MICOROSOFT OUTLOOK
Dynamics AX | Office | Outlook | CRM
One of the benefits of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 is it’s integration capabilities with all of the other Microsoft products. For example, you can easily set up your system to synchronize contacts, tasks and appointments from AX over to Outlook so that you have it while you are on the go.
In this example we will show how you can flag contacts to be synchronized and also set up the synchronization between your Dynamics AX 2012 client and Outlook.

Flag Contacts for
Synchronization
You don’t necessarily want all of the contacts within Dynamics to be copied over to Outlook. To selectively move contacts from Dynamics AX over to Outlook, just select the ones that you are interested in and click on the Add to Microsoft Outlook contacts button in the ribbon bar.
