Search for records

As field sellers are on the move, it's important that they can locate the information that they need as quickly as possible. The Dynamics 365 Sales mobile application helps make it easier to search for records such as contacts, accounts, leads, notes, and opportunities. The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen includes a Search icon. As you type, suggested records that include the text display. The more complete a phrase you enter, the better the offered results are.

When you do a search, the results are categorized according to the type of table, such as contacts, accounts, leads, notes, and opportunities. For example, if you searched for Contoso, the results would include records that contain this text, including contacts, accounts, and leads. Tap the record to view more details. You can also tap See all to expand the list for a category.
