What are Data Loss Prevention polices in Power Platform and why would you use those? That’s the question I had to answer recently in a relatively concise manner, and, perhaps, what came out could be useful for others, too. Essentially, the purpose of DLP in Power Platform is to help prevent users from unintentionally exposing… 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 »
Now that we have the ability to configure maintenance window settings in the production environments, what would we use it for? The wording there is quite interesting – if there is no downtime or service degradation, why would we care? Well, the answer seem to be two-fold. On the one hand, from the operations perspective,… Read More »
Have you noticed that there is a new feature that’s been added to the security model in Dataverse, and it’s called “Matrix Business Units”? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/wp-security-cds It is in preview, and it is being rolled out. To be honest, it’s not, yet, available in the environments I have access to, so I’m just waiting to see… Read More »
Have you tried bulk deletion lately? You may have seen the error below when you tried: Well, don’t you worry. Just wait a minute… I mean, literally. Although, you may have to wait a few minutes to be honest, but the key is that you need to wait a bit and try again. It might… 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 »
I was looking at the Omnichannel lately, and , then, I realized something that might be worth sharing. You know how we would often create a configuration entity in our model-driven apps? Omnichannel is doing just that, but it’s taking it one step further. It provides multiple forms for the configuration entity so that each… Read More »
Sometimes, project requirements can take an interesting turn, and we may need to think of unusual solutions. Fortunately, we have powerful options up the sleeve, since, after all, we are not talking about some kind of a csv file here – it’s Microsoft Dataverse! So, when it comes to the activity tables in Power Platform,… Read More »
When we have a team and a bunch of users added to the team, would you expect every user to have access to whatever another user has access to? Since, after all, they are all team members, so should not they be sharing the data? Basically, what if we have the following set up: Is… Read More »
Coincidentally, there seem to be change in how required fields are treated in the model-driven forms. I’m saying “coincidentally”, since I recently wrote a post on a related(though different) topic: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/how-to-not-to-get-stuck-on-the-required-fields-when-creating-a-power-automate-flow/ And, then, a co-worker just mentioned that, it seems, hidden fields are not “required” anymore in the model-driven forms even if they have been… Read More »
