It’s been a few days since my colleague had run into the error below with the Power Apps Portals: From the stacktrace, we can probably guess that the problem is related to the permissions somehow: Adxstudio.Xrm.Cms.Security.WebsiteAccessPermissionProvider.TryAssertRightProperty And, yes, this issues started to happen once an Administrator web role had been deleted. That did not happen… Read More »
When configuring a data source in the plugin registration tool, there is this note which implies that we should be able to supply configuration settings to the data provider plug-ins: There are a few more details in the docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/data-platform/create-edit-virtual-entities Which is encouraging, but it’s still not clear how do we read those configuration settings… Read More »
And, no, it’s not a typo. It’s easy to have a solution that you can’t import – as long as some dependencies are missing in both the solution being imported and in the target environment, such a solution cannot be imported. But we also can’t export some solutions – I don’t see such errors often,… Read More »
Or, at least, give it a try, since you can get Power BI Premium per User now, and it’s not even that difficult to try it out: If you have missed that notification on your first login, you can still do it from the profile menu: Which will bring you to this: Now what is… Read More »
Form components controls (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/model-driven-apps/form-component-control) can be extremely useful. It may not look so, at the first glance, since, after all, what they give us is, essentially, one extra tab on the “main” table form. In that tab, we can display columns from the secondary table. This comes at the cost of not having access to… Read More »
I have been waiting for a little while to try this in my environment, and, finally, “print” functionality is there. There are a couple of additional screen templates we can add to the canvas apps now: Those two screens come with the print button added to them by default, and, other than that, there is,… Read More »
In the previous post, there was a quick video of how otherwise shared emails could be protected using a few relatively simple plugins. Just to re-cap, why would you want to do this? The scenario we are talking about is: We want to keep everyone in the know of the email correspondence with the client… Read More »
Sometimes, project requirements can take an interesting turn, and we may need to think of unusual solutions. Fortunately, we have powerful options up the sleeve, since, after all, we are not talking about some kind of a csv file here – it’s Microsoft Dataverse! So, when it comes to the activity tables in Power Platform,… Read More »
It seems this old new debate is starting again, so now that Jukka and Natraj have posted great articles on the topic: https://jukkaniiranen.com/2021/04/democratizing-code/ https://dreamingincrm.com/2021/04/08/does-power-platform-need-developers-anymore/ I really can’t help but chime in, even if not on that same scale. See, I code. However, I used to write about it before, and I’m still stating the same:… Read More »
When setting up profile page for newly registered users yesterday (which I wrote about here: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/power-apps-portals-redirecting-newly-registered-users-to-a-custom-page/), I ran into something that I did not realize first. And, then, while digging around tonight, it all became crystal clear. Yep, header and footers are cached, so some of the Liquid code we may expect to work in… Read More »
