I was going to come up with an intro for this post to describe how diverse Power Platform has become etc, but it seems to be a moot point, I just need to admit that, normally, I do a lot more work with the Dataverse-backed apps / flows than with any other apps/flows. So, from… Read More »
Have you ever thought of how your cloud flows keep working even after you diligently followed your company policy and updated your password a few times in a row? I am not necessarily going to be 100% accurate below. Would be happy to be 80% close, and, please, feel free to drop me a note… Read More »
Imagine being a Power Platform administrator and dealing with the users having fun and creating Canvas App all over the place. They might be doing it in the default environment, which would be expected to some extent, or they might be doing it in the dedicated environments without thinking too much of the potential data… Read More »
Have been scratching your head trying to figure out where to see the apps / flows created by other users in the environment, you might have noticed that those apps and flows may need to be shared with you, even if you have maker/admin permissions: In the example above, I don’t see personal flows created… Read More »
Jukka has been hitting the nail on Power Pages costs with his posts lately, but I started to wonder if there are different usage scenarios, and, perhaps, there are situations when Power Pages can even be used for blogging? Actually, the fact that we are seriously talking about it now means Power Pages have come… Read More »
I found myself in a little weird situation the other day when I had to figure out how to explain the difference between Power Pages and Model Driven apps. It all started with some feedback along the lines of model-driven apps having limits to how much we can customize their look and feel (without essentially… Read More »
Microsoft has been implying the existence of “internal makers community” when promoting Power Platform a lot. This is, likely, where all CoE ideas are coming from. This is where fusion teams make more sense. This is what may make it easier for the citizen developers to do their work. And, on a practical note, this… Read More »
Here is the answer: It’s a bit counterintuitive, I guess. Imagine you were a system administrator in the environment, and you knew there were “Permissions Test” canvas app in that environment. You might think you’d be able to see it, but, in reality, it might not be showing up: Which would not, really, mean the… Read More »
In Microsoft Dataverse, business rules are not application-specific. They can be scoped to a certain main form, they can be scoped to a table, or they can be scoped to all forms in that table (in the latter case, this would mean the rules would also apply to all quick create forms). Model-Driven applications will… Read More »
Recently, I have been working on a training for application users which might be helpful to both users and new model-driven application makers: https://www.itaintboring.com/downloads/training/ModelDrivenApplicationsforApplicationUsers.pdf It is meant to cover model-driven application functionality from the user perspective. To be fair, there is a lot to cover, so this is not going to be absolutely exhaustive, but… Read More »
