Canvas Apps tutorials / samples are often using the same approach. They will show you how to create an application that is relying on the Gallery and Form controls and walk you through the basic usage of those controls. Here is an example: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/customize-layout-sharepoint Those are very powerful controls and you can achieve a lot… Read More »
The answer is not “because it is what it is”! There is certainly more to it. I just created a new user and gave it a couple of roles: This use is supposed to see Customer Service Hub (Unified Interface) and Customer Service (Web)applications. Plus there is that default web application which is normally called… Read More »
This post is nothing but a relatively boring technical walkthrough.. Which is as promised in the previous (hopefully not so boring) teaser post Before you continue with this one, you may want to do some reading on how embedded canvas apps can be added to the model driven apps. I would suggest a few links… Read More »
I think at least half of my posts should start with “I was pulling my hair out, and then..” (Like the picture? Here is the source) If you ever tried creating a printer-ready screen in Dynamics that would, among other things, display a Base64 image stored in a field, you might know the feeling.… Read More »

Turned out I was doing this kind of thing: I was setting a context variable in one place, and I was setting a global variable in another. Both variables… Read More »
One thing about Dynamics which I love and hate at the same time is that I’m constantly getting challenged. In the old days we had an on-premise system where the updates were rare, where we had access to the database, and where, to a certain extent, we were in control. At least it sometimes… Read More »
When you are working with the grids in Dynamics, the last line shows up as a list of letters from A to Z, so you can click one of the letters and that will quickly apply a filter to the grid. What kind of filter, though? After some digging around earlier today, it turned out… Read More »
We were investigating the option of using non-interactive user account for automated deployment, and it was all going great until we ran into the error below while importing the solution: “This process cannot be activated or deactivated by someone who is not its owner. If you contact support, please provide the technical details.” Actually,… Read More »
There was a time when Dynamics did not want to assign optionset values in the workflows. If you are wondering how it was, the issue(and a possible workaround) is best described here: https://crmtipoftheday.com/870/how-to-set-an-optionset-value-in-the-workflow/ So, earlier today when somebody showed me how they still can’t assign an optionset field I was 100% certain that’s exactly… Read More »
