When registering on the portal, users are, normally, redirected to the profile page by default. It seems, though, this is not, really, configurable, through the portal settings, so is there a workaround? It seems this should be doable, but, first, let’s look at another screenshot here: What this means is that, once a user is… Read More »
As everybody else has already noticed, CRUD support has been added to the Virtual Entities: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/data-platform/virtual-entities/sample-ve-provider-crud-operations A while ago, I blogged about how we can use canvas apps with virtual entities, and there was a sample plugin there: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/virtual-entities-revisited-setting-up-a-virtual-entity/ So, I figured, I’d just try updating that plugin to support create/update/delete. Since it is, already,… Read More »
Apparently, model-driven apps may need to be activated now: This is part of the ALM updates released recently: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/key-alm-updates/ Somehow, there seem to be a bit of inconsistency there. For example, as of writing this blog post, when I created an app through the classic designer, for instance, it’s did not show up in the… Read More »
Business process flows can definitely help guide our application users – they always look nice in the demos, and they easily draw positive feedback. But, it seems, when the BPF is designed to cover multiple entities, there are some quirks there. Here is the BPF I wanted to create: There are two entities involved: Main… Read More »
With the image columns in Dataverse, we can easily add fields to store images directly in the tables like this: This is great, since this makes all those images/documents much easier to identify than if they are stored in Sharepoint. In terms of storage, those images are stored in the file storage which is cheaper… Read More »
“Common Data Service” connectors don’t have an “Upsert” action: And it would have been a problem for one of the flows I had to implement recently if not for David Yack who pointed out that Update action will do an Upsert. What?? Well, he was absolutely right, here you go: Have fun folks. And thank… Read More »
It’s been a while since I wrote about SSIS – most of what we do these days is happening in the cloud. But, sometimes, we still need to resort to the old good time-proven technologies… such as SSIS. What’s the de-facto standard toolset of any Dynamics/PowerPlatform consultant who need to use SSIS? Well, that’s, of… Read More »
Just a few days ago, when I was writing a post about Power BI Paginated Reports, “Dataverse” connection type was still called “Common Data Service(Preview)” there. As of today, in the updated version of the Power BI Report Builder, it’s called “Dataverse”: There is no reference to the preview anymore, but, apparently, it’s still a… Read More »
In the previous post, I looked at some of the features of Power BI paginated reports. What was still unclear is how security works. Turned out it works pretty much as one would expect. Users having no access to the data won’t see that data in the report. Unless the report has NOT been configured… Read More »
Now that SSRS authoring tools have finally been updated (and there is a great article Nick Doelman published the other day on this topic), it might be the right time to ponder on which technology we should be using moving forward since there are two now: Power BI Paginated Reports SSRS So, how do… Read More »
