There are two different onLoad events in the client-side XRM framework, and I did not know that… Well, it’s better to find it out late than never 😊 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/executioncontext/geteventsource Here is how it works: Actually, I used to think OnLoad does what OnDataLoad do. Maybe it used to do it? Not sure. Either way, when… Read More »
Turns out we can’t use process.setStatus freely to finish a business process at any time – it has to be in the final stage. Otherwise, we can only abort a process. Come to think of it, it is neither too obvious, nor too counter-intuitive. Either way, the code below works, it seems: formContext.data.process.setStatus(“finished”, result =>… Read More »
Quick note to whoever is reading: this post is a bit of an experiment. It’s useful, but it pretty much sticks to the facts and there is no personal touch. This is intentional, there is another post which explains why Back in October, Microsoft has started rolling out updates to the Dataverse connector which will… Read More »
With Microsoft pushing co-pilots everywhere, with windows co-pilot refusing to talk about whether it represents any danger to humanity, it seems at least personally I need some rule of thumb to follow when talking about co-pilots specifically and AI in general, and, more exactly, about whether we still need experts or if we can just… Read More »
Apparently, I need an app on my phone, and, of course, having a Canvas App looks like a logical choice. The application does not have to be overly complicated, but it has to provide such functionality as: – Ability to see active requests – Ability to see new comments and to reply to them –… Read More »
Low code development is very promising, and, yet, it can be very tricky. I’ve done my share of Canvas Apps development, and if there is anything I learned about them is that there are dozens of little things that may not work, or they may not work exactly as you thought they would, and, so,… Read More »
I was doing some reading about CoE in general and CoE Starter Kit in particular, and look what I have found: (… How to use the CoE Starter Kit alongside Power Platform Admin Center… ) Our recommendation is to start with the out of the box capabilities in Power Platform admin center and Managed Environments.… Read More »
Why would I want to have a web site my own way if there are, already, Power Pages in Power Platform? 🤔 That’s for a bunch of reasons, but all of them come down to the fact that I want a solution for which I don’t need to break the bank. For a big organization, licensing… Read More »
If you created a very minimal custom connector and looked at the swagger definition right after, you’d notice a bunch of attributes added by default: However, not all of those are literally “required” when creating a new connector. For example, I could have removed “schemes” node, and it would still be acceptable: The problem would occur later,… Read More »
I recently made a post on LinkedIn where I simply provided a link to an article posted by someone else, and that produced some interesting responses and a bit of a discussion. Now that post does seem to require a closure, so this is what I’m going to write about today. The original LinkedIn post is stating… Read More »
