There is nothing more revealing than trying to explain something you don’t quite understand! So, as I mentioned in the recent post, I had to get my head around the transformation that has occurred to the Dynamics CRM/XRM platform in the recent years before I could start thinking about the real differences between Canvas Apps… Read More »
I had a really good experience with Microsoft support today. What made it kind of special is that we almost had a bet with a colleague who had not such a pleasant experience a couple of months back. Anyhow, in my case we got the issue resolved in less than one hour. In his… Read More »
I’ve been working on a presentation of Embedded Canvas Apps and some things were not adding up. Mostly, I just could not pinpoint what exactly is the difference between Canvas Apps and Model-Driven apps?

We’ve come across an interesting problem recently. Imagine that you have a few different business units, and you want Sharepoint integration to work in such a way that all the documents within each business units would be shared, but there would be no sharing between the business units. This is not how it normally works… Read More »
I am not sure what’s been happening to the PowerApps product team recently, but, whatever it is, I think a “thank you” is in order.. it just seems they are really working on tiding up the UI these days. Just today, I noticed a couple of new(?) things, and it feels like.. an unexpected gift.… Read More »
Having established (for myself.. and not without the help from other folks) that CDS Connector is the way to go when working with Dynamics or CDS data, I quickly found that ListRecords action does not support fetchXml. Or, at least, I don’t see a parameter for that: That said, WebAPI endpoint does support fetch… Read More »
