Self-service portal diagnostics

Dynamics 365 Portal helps organizations create websites in a simple and effective manner. As part of our investment to improve supportability of Dynamics 365 Portal, we are focusing on better diagnostics and providing customizers with the ability to resolve issues on their own using self-service diagnostic capabilities.

This feature provides a self-service diagnostic tool that looks at portal configuration and identifies potential configuration problems as well as provides solutions on how to resolve the issues. This tool can be used by portal customizers to quickly resolve common issues and reduce the amount of time spent on diagnosing any issues.
