It’s the morning of April 1st, I am looking at my editable sub-grid, and I start panicking. Because, apparently, it’s not working – I can’t edit anything at all. I tried pretty much everything (re-enabling the grid, changing the view, updating control settings in different places, looking in the community forums).. Nothing worked. And,… Read More »
There is nothing more revealing than trying to explain something you don’t quite understand! So, as I mentioned in the recent post, I had to get my head around the transformation that has occurred to the Dynamics CRM/XRM platform in the recent years before I could start thinking about the real differences between Canvas Apps… Read More »
I had a really good experience with Microsoft support today. What made it kind of special is that we almost had a bet with a colleague who had not such a pleasant experience a couple of months back. Anyhow, in my case we got the issue resolved in less than one hour. In his… Read More »

You probably know that we do have two solution designers these days. Here is a related “this or that” question, then. There is a new designer, and there is an old designer..

Namely, anything that requires synchronous (or real-time) processing, would need a plugin or a workflow. For example, what if you wanted… Read More »
We’ve come across an interesting problem recently. Imagine that you have a few different business units, and you want Sharepoint integration to work in such a way that all the documents within each business units would be shared, but there would be no sharing between the business units. This is not how it normally works… Read More »
I am not sure what’s been happening to the PowerApps product team recently, but, whatever it is, I think a “thank you” is in order.. it just seems they are really working on tiding up the UI these days. Just today, I noticed a couple of new(?) things, and it feels like.. an unexpected gift.… Read More »
