Well, good things just keep coming in. API limits have been increased quite a bit, and, it seems, it just happened yesterday: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/api-request-limits-allocations It’s, now, 40000 calls per Power App / D365 user: And, for the non-interactive/application users, it’s 500000 per day pooled: When did this happen? Looking at the git sources, it seems this… Read More »
Now that we have the ability to configure maintenance window settings in the production environments, what would we use it for? The wording there is quite interesting – if there is no downtime or service degradation, why would we care? Well, the answer seem to be two-fold. On the one hand, from the operations perspective,… Read More »
Have you noticed that there is a new feature that’s been added to the security model in Dataverse, and it’s called “Matrix Business Units”? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/wp-security-cds It is in preview, and it is being rolled out. To be honest, it’s not, yet, available in the environments I have access to, so I’m just waiting to see… Read More »
Earlier this month, I blogged about how “Export to File for Paginated Reports” action seems to be relatively slow (even when compared to doing the export manually from the Power BI Service): https://www.itaintboring.com/power-automate/export-to-file-for-paginated-reports-execution-time/ So, I thought, maybe an alternative could be to write custom code which would be using Power BI Rest API to do… Read More »
Have you ever had your flows turned off when importing them through a solution? It’s been a bit of a mystery to me for a while. I had some idea about what to look at, but it’s only now that I looked closer. Maybe you’ll find it useful, too. First of all, every Flow can… Read More »
You probably know how we can add required components to our solutions – there is an option for that in the maker portal, and it’s easy to use. For example, if I had “contact” table in the solution already, I could add required components for that table: And the idea is that all the relationships,… Read More »
You might have seen Lance Delano’s post about permissions support functions: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/permissions-support-in-datasourceinfo-and-new-recordinfo-functions-for-dataverse/ This can be very useful, and it sort of feels this might be part of the functionality that would be required to use Power FX when configuring command bar buttons in model driven apps (since we would need to disable/enable those buttons based… Read More »
This is probably one of those things the product team is going to fix really soon, but, in the meantime, if you started to see spinner recently when looking at the flow run history, you might want to try one of the following: Resize the browser window (could just maximize it as well) Click somewhere… Read More »
Just noticed a new button showing up in my environments this morning, and, at first, I thought “wow”, but, then, I thought a bit more, and now I ‘m wondering. It does allow opening the same model-driven screen in a separate window, but is it worth giving up some real-estate in the command bar for… Read More »
It is often helpful to split bigger Power Automate flows into a bunch of smaller ones, so there is a parent flow, and, possibly, a few child flows. However, when the child flow fails, here is what you might see as a result in the flow run history: In the example above, there was a… Read More »
