It seems I still can’t quite get over those Power Automate licensing updates – new questions keep coming up, we keep digging, and that brings some new revelations. Well, today’s topic is multiplexing. First off all, “multiplexing” is not a bad word 😉 Here is how Microsoft defines it in the Client Access License (CAL) Requirements: “Multiplexing” is when individuals… Read More »
The technique for adding alternating colors to a Canvas App gallery has been described in various posts, here is one of those: http://powerapps.co.nz/auckland/index.php/our-blog/41-add-alternating-row-colours-to-power-apps-gallery We just need to add a new column to the data source, which is going to store the sequential row number, and, once we have it, we can use it to calculate… Read More »
ITA Business Rules Admin v1.01 has been released, and it comes with some cool features: 1. You can now register your rules to run in Pre-Validation, in Pre-Operation, or in Post-Operation Why is this important? Those stages correspond to the plugin execution stages, and, depending on what happens behind the scene, Post-Operation data may be… Read More »
These are not the same business rules you are used to in Dataverse – these are relying on the plugins and FetchXML, so, technically, there is nothing new since we’ve been using plugins forever. However, the cool thing about them is that: Everything is in git, and you’ll find plugin source codes, as well as… Read More »

There are UI “appearance” settings such as font weight and size, background color, border width, etc. But there are, also, layout templates which are meant to define common application layout, layout elements, and,… Read More »
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 »
