Manage behavior settings

Use Behavior settings to adjust how model-driven apps appear and function. These settings do not apply to canvas apps, except where noted.

These settings can be found in the Power Platform admin center by going to Environments > [select an environment] > Settings > Product >Behavior.

Make sure you have the System Administrator security role or equivalent permissions to update the business closures.

Settings

Settings	Description
Basic behavior
Auto save	Default: On. If On, after a record is created (initially saved), any changes made to a form will automatically be saved thirty seconds after the change is made. The 30-second period starts again after a change is made. If no changes are made, the automatic save doesn’t happen. More information: Manage auto-save
Load default static content from Content Delivery Network	Default: On. Canvas apps will load out-of-the-box static content from the Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) service. For firewall restrictions and IP approved list related issues, system administrators can select Off to disable the Azure Content Delivery Network feature. Note: this setting does not apply to model-driven apps as they do not use CDN currently.
Share reassigned records with original owner	Default: Off. Select whether a record is shared with the original owner of the record, or completely reassigned to another user.
Open in application mode	Default: Off. Select On to enable application mode. When this mode is enabled, customer engagement apps can be opened in a browser without menus, navigation, or toolbars. Hiding these parts of the browser causes customer engagement apps to appear like a separate application rather than a website.
Use Unified Interface only	Default: Off. When you enable Unified Interface Only, all your apps, including those designed for the legacy web client, run in Unified Interface all the time. Environments with legacy web client apps will show a notification on the home page, prompting System Administrators to update those apps to Unified Interface.
Use legacy form rendering	Default: Off. For compatibility, use the legacy form rendering engine. Note that performance may be adversely affected. If you have forms that include unsupported customizations, these enhancements can cause compatibility problems. To avoid this, you can temporarily turn the form enhancements off by setting to On. We recommend that you reset this setting to Off after addressing scripting problems so you can take advantage of optimized forms. Note: When a form that includes unsupported customizations is used, such as unsupported JavaScript, the form may fail to load or the user will receive an error message. If the form just fails, set the Use legacy form rendering option to On. If the form loads after you select this option, you may have unsupported customizations. If the user receives an error, select "View the data that will be sent to Microsoft" and see the details in the (CrmScriptErrorReport) tags.
Formatting
Full name display order	Default: First Name. Select the order in which you want customer and user names to be displayed.
Display currencies using	Default: Currency symbol. Set how to display currencies, either by a currency symbol, which is the default setting, or by currency code. For example, a currency symbol could be $, and the currency code could be USD.
Pricing decimal precision	Default: 0. Select how many decimal points to use for a currency.
Display behavior
Use updated experience for classic settings where possible.	Default: Off for existing environment, On for new environment created after October 2021. If On, user will be redirected to the modern experience when accessing some settings from the legacy experience. More information: New location for admin settings.
Show app download message	Default: On. If On, users will see a message regarding downloading the Dynamics 365 for tablets app.
Show legacy app to everyone, not just admin	Default: On. The legacy web app, also known as Dynamics 365 - custom, is hidden from end users when a new environment is provisioned. It is always visible to those with System Administrator and System Customizer roles, and to other custom roles with similar privileges. More information: Dynamics 365 - custom.
Legacy app name	Enter the label to use for the legacy app. This appears on the Dynamics 365 home page. The legacy label is Dynamics 365 - custom. More information: Dynamics 365 - custom.
Show welcome screen on sign in	Default: On.
Show Microsoft Power Automate on forms and in the site map	Default: On. Select On to enable embedded Power Automate flows in your organization. More information: Enable embedded Power Automate to automate processes.
Show dashboard cards in expanded state	Default: Off. Select On to see the detailed card form in a dashboard. If set to Off, only the header and minimal details are displayed in the card form.
Lookup behavior
Minimum number of characters to trigger typeahead search	Enter the minimum number of characters that trigger an automatic typeahead search in a lookup field in model-driven apps. This setting can be used to improve lookup performance, particularly when the underlying environment database has huge amounts of data. Default value: 2
Delay between character inputs that will trigger a search	Enter the delay interval in milliseconds that will be introduced in lookups before a search is executed. This can be used to improve lookup performance, particularly when the underlying environment database has huge amounts of data. Default value: 250ms
