AD group teams are not managed exactly the same way “native” teams are managed in CDS, and one difference seems to be that associate/disassociate events will not be triggered for such teams. However, this does not mean there is no way to respond to a change in the group membership, it just has to be… Read More »
It seems like a no-brainer question with a simple “no” answer; however, there was something that came up on Linkedin while discussing my other post about using CDS pre/post images with the Flow: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/cds-post-images-and-cds-pre-images-in-powerautomate-flows/ What if, instead of using the service bus, we tried using “web hook” option in the Plugin Registration Tool? It does… Read More »
Here is a really quick question before you continue reading. When looking at the image below, can you see what’s wrong there? Of course the answer is – it’s a Canvas App trying to pretend it’s a model-driven app: That’s a little experiment I wanted to try, and, quite honestly, as entertaining as it was,… Read More »
Full disclaimer… this post was triggered by what a fellow MVP, Olena Grischenko, wrote earlier today: https://msolenacrm.blog/2020/06/18/power-automate-for-cds-what-was-it-before-we-run-the-update-or-byebye-no-code/ I am all for plugins, I actually write them every day But, then, should not there be some way to work with pre/post images in PowerAutomate? Without code? And there is one, although “no code” solutions are not,… Read More »
To start with, why do I even call it a battle? Isn’t it supposed to be a peaceful coexistence where each type of power apps can contribute where the other type is lacking in functionality? In theory, yes. In practice, it seems things may spin out of control in the extreme cases. Imagine there is… Read More »
TDS endpoint availability is, probably, one of the coolest technical capabilities introduced by Microsoft in the last few months. However, even though it’s great to be able to run SQL queries in the SQL management studio as described in Microsoft docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/cds-sql-query There are other usage scenarios which seem to be very enticing. Using it… Read More »
In the first version of the Angular-based portal template there was no ability to create support tickets through the portal, which is what the template would have to have in order to be a little more useful right off the bat to cover at least a basic self-service scenario. So, there is some of that in the… Read More »
There is no argument PowerApps Portals allow us to build a portal for CDS relatively quickly, relatively easily, and with a limited amount of development efforts. However, just because it’s been a while since I wanted to do something with Typescript and Angular, I figured why would not I try creating a completely custom portal… Read More »
Just got to play with the latest cool feature, which is using SQL Management Studio to connect to CDS environments. You’ll find the documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/cds-sql-query If you have not seen what it looks like, here is an example: To set it up, you just need SSMS v18.4, and don’t forget to configure your environment… Read More »
I have certainly missed some news. Apparently, quick find in the unified interface now works as it has always been expected to work (but never did): It’s now using selected view columns And it’s now applying selected view filters If I were reading release wave 1 plan more carefully, I would have noticed the following… Read More »
