It’s been great attending Ali Youssefi’s EasyRepro workshop this week (and it’s also been great to be invited into those workshops by the client to start with). That’s a nice workshop which will get you through the basics of Easy Repro (and some of the related things you may need to keep in mind) –… Read More »
So, we all know how managed solutions vs unmanaged solutions discussions used to be raging a few years ago. Then Microsoft stepped in to make it clear that managed solutions are recommended for production environments and unmanaged ones are only supposed to be used in development. This is where things currently stand, and this is… Read More »
It’s been a while since “treeview” experience had been added in the preview portal: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics/have-you-visited-preview-version-of-the-maker-portal-lately-there-is-solution-treeview-there/ Now we can also see “hidden” elements in the form designer! Classic designer had some nice stuff, after all, and now those features are making their way back into the new designer. There is “created by” on the form below,… Read More »
And I do mean barely. As in, I had to get 700 out of 1000 to pass, and I think I got 738. Under the normal circumstances, I probably wouldn’t even try taking that exam, but there was a reason I wanted to do it, and quickly, so there we go… a Power Platform consultant… Read More »

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?
