There is, really, not a lot to write about it. The screenshot below says it all: There is one link missing on the right side, which is “Edit Filter Criteria”. It does show up for some other views, though: But, from what I could see, it disappears once the view(or, possibly, the filters) has been… Read More »
Earlier this month, I wrote a couple of post about reporting/document generation. While working on it, I also tried one other option which you may find useful, too. One of the biggest problems with Word Templates, be it classic word templates in model-driven apps or new populate word template action in Power Automate is that… Read More »
There are a few reasons I still have not, really, touched Power BI (beyond some very basic things just to see what it’s capable of), but, having looked at my reporting options recently, I figured Power BI paginated reports might be what’s required on the project. Luckily, it turned out we might be fine on… Read More »
For some reason, the part of Power Platform that used to be Dynamics CRM (and was, then, transformed into what’s called “first party” applications) has always been limited in its reporting and document generation capabilities. It’s still the case, it seems, and it’s a strange situation for an enterprise-grade platform. After all, what’s the point… Read More »
A few years ago, there was a common mantra on pretty much any project I was on: “Stick to the configuration. There should be no javascripts and/or plugins” This was happening since quite a few people had run into problems with those low-level customizations in the past. Which is understandable – to start with, you… Read More »
Connection references have been released (well, not quite, but they are in public preview, which is close enough), and, from the ALM support perspective, it might be one of the most anticipated features for those of us who have been struggling with all those connections in the Flows (chances are, if you are using Flows,… Read More »
How do we add file download button to the model-driven apps? To start with, why would we even want to do it? There can be some interesting scenarios there, one being to allow your users to download PowerAutomate-generated word templates (see my previous post). That, of course, requires some custom development, since you may want… Read More »
Document Templates have been available in model-driven apps for a while now – they are integrated with the model-driven apps, and it’s easy for the users to access them. They do have limitations, though. We cannot filter those documents, we can only use 1 level of relationships, on each relationship we can only load 100… Read More »
What seems to be the most popular reason why a business rule would not be working? There is very little that can really break in the business rules, except for one thing: we can include certain fields into the business rule conditions, and, then, forget to add those fields to the context (which can be… Read More »
I am wondering if PowerAutomate flows can really be part of CI/CD when there are non-CDS connections? There seem to be a few problems here: Once deployed, the flow is turned off, and all non-CDS connections have to be re-wired in order to turn it on. That’s a manual step While re-wiring the connections, we’ll… Read More »
