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 »
For some reason, this issue comes up every now and then. It may come up when talking to the new application users, to the new developers, to the business analysts sometimes… and, usually, it needs to be addressed quickly.

This post should have been written before the one where I had a sample script which can call a flow to download a document, but, since these two posts happened to come out in the reverse order, it seems this is, technically, a prequel. Hm… If you have not seen the previous post, maybe read… Read More »
I’ve been diligently checking for this setting in my admin portal a few times per week lately, and, finally, it has arrived: Before you proceed, you might want to read my earlier intro post for this feature: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/matrix-business-units-the-cool-new-way-of-setting-up-user-security-in-microsoft-dataverse/ In this post, I’m just going to show how this works. First of all, don’t be surprised… Read More »
If you ever wanted to add a ribbon button that would be calling a flow (one usage scenario for this is to start sing Power BI Paginated Reports and/or Power Automat Word Templates to generate documents/reports), there is a sample script below which you could use to achieve just that. Here is how the user… Read More »
It happens every now and then that I have to re-create a columns across multiple environments, all because of the data type change. Sometimes, there are good reasons for that, and, sometimes, all I can do is kick myself for not thinking it through from the beginning; since, of course, changing data type for a… Read More »
I like how Microsoft keeps introducing changes to the Power Apps licensing – it’s good to see prices going down, API limits going up, and new licensing options being introduced in addition to the existing ones.
