In a few of my previous posts, I used a custom connector which had a “regex” action implemented in it. In case that’s something you might try using in your flows as well, a non-production version (no up-time guarantee, no guarantee at all whatsoever. Feel free to use it, but you can’t hold me responsible)… 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 »
I was troubleshooting missing dependencies earlier today, and, after some digging, uncovered a hidden solution in the environment. I could see that solution when looking at the layers: And I certainly could not see it in the list of solutions neither in the old interface, nor in the new one. Well, there is always a… Read More »
Social distancing has definitely took a toll on my blogging – it’s been a while since the last post. Although, I’ve actually learned quite a few things outside of PowerPlatform in the last month, so I could probably start blogging about a few other things now: How to teach math fractions How to build wooden… Read More »
