I have always been a bit cautious of the queues in Dynamics since I could not fully understand when to use them. I don’t know, somehow my technical knowledge of what they are just did not materialize into a clear understanding of what to do with them. This is until on one project business users… Read More »
As I mentioned in the previous post, solution layering seems to be explained quite well in the solution lifecycle management whitepaper, so I figured I’d give a try to something here.. and, yes, it got a bit confusing. Here is what I did in the source instance: Created a solution and added a new… Read More »
You would think an MVP should know.. Ha.. Tell me about it. So, just to illustrate why I was scratching my head earlier today – there are two grids on the screenshot below, they were both just added to the form, there were no further customizations to them. And, yet, they kind of look… Read More »
There are lots of “new and planned” features mentioned in the April’19 release notes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/business-applications-release-notes/April19/ But, it seems, those release notes are not just “release” notes – they are a bit of a roadmap, too. Have a look at the corresponding section for the Customer Service, for example: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/business-applications-release-notes/April19/service/planned-features A lot of features will be… Read More »
While prototyping my image upload canvas application for the contact form the other day, I ran into something that is probably just a quirk of the preview implementation, but you may want to be aware of this behavior when doing something similar in the meantime. Imagine that you had your canvas app working with… Read More »
Did you ever try to create a copy of Dynamics Portal web site in the same Dynamics Instance? You may want to ask “why would I do such a thing”, but think of it this way: You cannot link the same Dynamics Portal to more than one web site record at a time, but… Read More »
A lot has changed for Dynamics developers over the years. I was looking at this old post (well, 6 years old) by Gonzalo Ruiz, and I am still wondering what to make of it now: http://gonzaloruizcrm.blogspot.com/2012/01/setting-up-your-development-environment.html I think traditionally we had these 4 options when setting up the environments for the project (well, other… Read More »
A couple of hours, and I finally got my Dynamics authentication token in PostMan! The rest will be all about using that token, but, if you have not tried setting up PostMan before and don’t want to spend a couple of hours figuring out the authentication part.. Maybe this post will help. Actually, the essence… Read More »
If you are not sure whether Dynamics Portals address global accessibility requirements, there is an easy way to find out without actually having to re-test each and every page. Although, I have to say when this question came up earlier today I really had no idea what to answer. On the one hand, as… Read More »
If you had different applications which could all be implemented in Dynamics (maybe different flavors of the case/contact management), how would you decide whether to put those applications in the same instance or whether to set up different instances for some of them? Not sure if there is a simple answer.. My colleague and… Read More »
