Earlier today, we got a strange request from the user who was wondering what would be the reason he kept getting an error message? Indeed, we knew he should not be getting that error. Although, after looking into it, we found that there was a form the user was working on, it was a regular… Read More »
Recently, we’ve been prototyping a solution which would be using Form.IO to collect web forms data, so we needed a way to somehow store submitted requests in Dynamics. So what we came up with looked more or less like this: Form.IO offers different types of actions, and one of those allows forwarding submitted data to… Read More »
This post is a proof of concept for the following scenario: Would not it be nice if we could use more than one security group so that, for example, we would have admins in one group and all the other users in another. This way, we might add that admin group to Sharepoint so admin… Read More »
A lot of TypeScript tutorials are available online, so I was looking for one recently and, it seems, this one is really good IF you are familiar with some other language already: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/typescript So, while working through it, I noticed a few things which might strike you as being somewhat unusual if you are… Read More »
The more I’m looking into the PowerApps Component Framework, the more obvious it becomes that the era of “do-it-all”-ers in Dynamics/PowerApps might be coming to an end. Although, it’s not just the PCF that’s making me say this. I turned to Dynamics some time ago since I did not want to stick to pure development… Read More »
Some flows are solution-aware, and some flows are not: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/flow/overview-solution-flows It turned out the difference between those two is not just that solution-aware flows are portable – somehow, it goes deeper. Just a few days ago wrote a post where I was trying to summarize error monitoring options for the Flows: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics/microsoft-flow-monitoring/ It was… Read More »
I often read/hear that Microsoft Flow is not suitable for the advanced integration scenarios where Logic Apps should be used instead. That statement is probably coming from the comparison below: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-compare-logic-apps-ms-flow-webjobs This is all great; however, unlike the Logic Apps which are living their own life somewhere in Azure, Microsoft Flow is a first-class… Read More »
I had a nice validation plugin that used to be working perfectly whenever a record were updated manually. When deactivating a record with a certain status reason, a user would see an error message if some of the conditions were not met. For example, a transaction can’t be completed till the amount field has… Read More »
Ever since I have started working on the current project, there probably was not a day when I would not discover something new (of course what’s new for me is not necessarily new for somebody who’s been working in the online environment for a while). When working on-premise, you get to know what to… Read More »
Sep 26: A newer version of this post is available here: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/using-powershell-to-exportimport-solutions-data-and-word-templates/ I have never been a big supporter of the configuration migration tool simply because it seems strange that we need to export data manually while preparing a package for the package deployer. I am also on the fence when it comes to the… Read More »
