I was going to come up with an intro for this post to describe how diverse Power Platform has become etc, but it seems to be a moot point, I just need to admit that, normally, I do a lot more work with the Dataverse-backed apps / flows than with any other apps/flows. So, from… Read More »
Have you ever thought of how your cloud flows keep working even after you diligently followed your company policy and updated your password a few times in a row? I am not necessarily going to be 100% accurate below. Would be happy to be 80% close, and, please, feel free to drop me a note… Read More »
Imagine being a Power Platform administrator and dealing with the users having fun and creating Canvas App all over the place. They might be doing it in the default environment, which would be expected to some extent, or they might be doing it in the dedicated environments without thinking too much of the potential data… Read More »
Have been scratching your head trying to figure out where to see the apps / flows created by other users in the environment, you might have noticed that those apps and flows may need to be shared with you, even if you have maker/admin permissions: In the example above, I don’t see personal flows created… Read More »
Jukka has been hitting the nail on Power Pages costs with his posts lately, but I started to wonder if there are different usage scenarios, and, perhaps, there are situations when Power Pages can even be used for blogging? Actually, the fact that we are seriously talking about it now means Power Pages have come… Read More »
I found myself in a little weird situation the other day when I had to figure out how to explain the difference between Power Pages and Model Driven apps. It all started with some feedback along the lines of model-driven apps having limits to how much we can customize their look and feel (without essentially… Read More »
Modern advanced find vs original advanced find – how do they compare? It’s not a single component anymore Modern advanced find is not, really, a single component anymore. We can edit filters, we can manage views, and we can edit columns. All of that is done separately: Conceptually, it’s, probably, not bad, since using Advanced… Read More »
When you are caught in the middle of “which technology do we choose” to develop this application, and when the choice is between Power Platform and custom development, there is rarely a straightforward answer, but there are lots of considerations. Why don’t we go over some of them at least. There is no licensing in… Read More »
Come to think of it, a Power Automate cloud flow with an HTTP trigger and a response action is not that different from a web page for the outside world. Just look at this: If I had contact id passed to this flow as a query parameter, I could use Dataverse connector to set “do… Read More »
Occasionally, you’d probably want to know the time stamp of the last successful run of your power automate flow. For example, you might be working on the data synchronization, and you might need to track those timestamps somehow. Which is a bit of a problem, it seems. You might try following Linn’s blog here: https://linnzawwin.blogspot.com/2020/08/get-flow-run-by-using-dynamics-365cds.html… Read More »
