Here is something that does not come up often.. When you have a few controls for the same attribute added to the form, using Xrm.Page.getControl(“<name>”).setDisabled won’t enable/disable all of them – it will only work for the first control on the form. At least in the 8.2 version. If you wanted to do the same… Read More »
I was listening to the PowerApps/Flow course below, and, of course, right off the bat ran into something that made me backtrack what was said in the video a few times till I finally figured out what was going wrong. Here is the course url, btw (I like the course so far, though I’m definitely… Read More »
Ryan Maclean made an interesting analogy in his recent post: https://ryannipper.com/2018/07/12/crm-development-as-easy-as-making-a-cup-of-tea/ I’d really recommend reading it; though I’d like to warn you right here.. after reading Ryan’s post, you may find that making tea is not ever going to be simple again. Actually, you may feel a bit overwhelmed by the potential complexity of… Read More »
First of all, you can’t, really, change Scrum framework. If you do, it’s not going to be Scrum anymore. But, since Scrum is just a framework, and a lightweight framework for that matter, it leaves the details of Scrum implementation to the Scrum teams. Hence, there is some room there for doing things differently,… Read More »
It can’t be solely about Dynamics all the time, so how about Scrum, just for a change? To start with, I’ve been on so many different projects, and a lot of them did claim to be following SCRUM. But I am just starting to realize, now, how little did I know to believe that… Read More »
It’s just something I was exploring today in preparation for the MB2-715, and, it seems, there are ways to move instances from one tenant to another without having to actually migrate the data. At least that seems to be the case according to the discussions here: https://community.dynamics.com/365/projectserviceautomation/f/767/t/271668 https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_o365admin-mso_dep365-mso_o365b/migrating-a-dynamics-crm-instance-from-one-office/30c77a4c-ebdb-499e-8f6d-5efc9ac36155 This is likely going to involve a… Read More »
Easy Repro seems to be a bit unusual name for what is, basically, an automated UI testing framework, since it’s not so much about reproducing the issues as it is about testing various UI scenarios: https://github.com/Microsoft/EasyRepro And I wanted to emphasize it right here. Easy Repro is not a product.. neither it’s a technology..… Read More »
I was severely underestimating the Field Service, it seems, and I am wondering if this may happen to anybody who is thinking of the Field Service in terms of “solutions”/”applications” for Dynamics. There is a component in the Field Service solution that goes far beyond the regular capabilities of such components – it’s, essentially, an… Read More »
We had a scenario where we did not want to initialize a BPF when a record is created – basically, those were records for which it would take some time before anybody would really need to start looking at them. Until that moment, they would be staying “dormant” in the system, and, then, once they’ve… Read More »
This might be something to keep in mind.. If you have two entities with a parental relationship between them, your users may still be able to re-assign child record to others even if they don’t have “write/assign” permissions on the child entity. In the example below, Sales Person role does not give “write” and/or “assign”… Read More »
