It might be yesterday’s news (or, at least, it’s probably at least a month old now) that we have “Check Access” button in the model-driven apps: This one is available from the command bar, and it allows us to check record access for any user in the system: It can also track record sharing –… Read More »
It’s a rare situation when 3 different Dataverse developers, all having quite a bit of experience with plugins, start talking about plugins functionality and can’t agree on how it actually works Yet, this is exactly what happened when Daryl LaBar suggested that I should be using shared variables to handle the problem described in the… Read More »
I’ve never been a big fan of Word Template in Dynamics 365 since they have quite a few limitations, and, yet, I had to use them every now and then since they are so easy to develop (till you run into the limitations, of course). Besides, they are not so easy to deploy into different… Read More »
There are a few reasons I still have not, really, touched Power BI (beyond some very basic things just to see what it’s capable of), but, having looked at my reporting options recently, I figured Power BI paginated reports might be what’s required on the project. Luckily, it turned out we might be fine on… Read More »

Which is understandable – to start with, you… Read More »
How do we add file download button to the model-driven apps? To start with, why would we even want to do it? There can be some interesting scenarios there, one being to allow your users to download PowerAutomate-generated word templates (see my previous post). That, of course, requires some custom development, since you may want… Read More »
Did you ever try to put a really big IFrame on the model-driven form? If you did, and totally irrespective of why you would do such a bizarre thing, you might have seen this message: Those 40 rows, whatever they mean in pixels, is the maximum you can get if you go with a regular… Read More »
It’s been a while since I’ve updated TCS Tools the last time – there are a few reasons for that, of course. First of all, the most popular component in that solution has always been “attribute setter” which essentially allowed to do advanced operations in the workflows using FetchXml: Using FetchXml to query and update… Read More »
I just learned how to create balloons! At first, it actually did not look that interesting at all when I clicked the question mark button: Yep, it felt a little empty there. So, I started to wonder, what can I do to make it more interesting? Turned out there is quite a bit… Read More »
