We’ve been implementing Dynamics 365 App for Outlook lately – that’s been a bumpy road, so I figured I’d list some of the things which hit us along the way, and which were either not expected or, in some cases, underestimated. 1. Dynamics 365 App for Outlook does not work with shared mailboxes Actually, this… Read More »
If you have not looked at the EasyRepro yet, you probably should: https://github.com/microsoft/EasyRepro I wrote a post about EasyRepro before with some explanations of how it works, so this may also be helpful: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/easy-repro-what-is-it/ Now, I am not sure if Microsoft is “all in” on making PowerApps development a primarily dev-only activity, but, at… Read More »
Earlier today, we got a strange request from the user who was wondering what would be the reason he kept getting an error message? Indeed, we knew he should not be getting that error. Although, after looking into it, we found that there was a form the user was working on, it was a regular… Read More »
Recently, we’ve been prototyping a solution which would be using Form.IO to collect web forms data, so we needed a way to somehow store submitted requests in Dynamics. So what we came up with looked more or less like this: Form.IO offers different types of actions, and one of those allows forwarding submitted data to… Read More »
This post is a proof of concept for the following scenario: Would not it be nice if we could use more than one security group so that, for example, we would have admins in one group and all the other users in another. This way, we might add that admin group to Sharepoint so admin… Read More »
The more I’m looking into the PowerApps Component Framework, the more obvious it becomes that the era of “do-it-all”-ers in Dynamics/PowerApps might be coming to an end. Although, it’s not just the PCF that’s making me say this. I turned to Dynamics some time ago since I did not want to stick to pure development… Read More »
I had a nice validation plugin that used to be working perfectly whenever a record were updated manually. When deactivating a record with a certain status reason, a user would see an error message if some of the conditions were not met. For example, a transaction can’t be completed till the amount field has… Read More »
Ever since I have started working on the current project, there probably was not a day when I would not discover something new (of course what’s new for me is not necessarily new for somebody who’s been working in the online environment for a while). When working on-premise, you get to know what to… Read More »
Sep 26: A newer version of this post is available here: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/using-powershell-to-exportimport-solutions-data-and-word-templates/ I have never been a big supporter of the configuration migration tool simply because it seems strange that we need to export data manually while preparing a package for the package deployer. I am also on the fence when it comes to the… Read More »
I was working on a PowerShell script, and I just could not get past the error below: “Element ‘http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic:value’ contains data from a type that maps to the name ‘System.Management.Automation:PSObject’. The deserializer has no knowledge of any type that maps to this name” Yet I was not trying to do anything extraordinary (other than… Read More »
