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 »
Recently, I have been working on a training for application users which might be helpful to both users and new model-driven application makers: https://www.itaintboring.com/downloads/training/ModelDrivenApplicationsforApplicationUsers.pdf It is meant to cover model-driven application functionality from the user perspective. To be fair, there is a lot to cover, so this is not going to be absolutely exhaustive, but… Read More »
For some reason, this issue comes up every now and then. It may come up when talking to the new application users, to the new developers, to the business analysts sometimes… and, usually, it needs to be addressed quickly. Basically, it might not be obvious that different applications in the same environment might still be… Read More »
I was working on a condensed version of the licensing guide which could be presented without really going into the details, and here is what I ended up with so far (this is ignoring Virtual Agents, Power BI, and Portals) A user can get licensed for Power Platform and/or Power Automate through the following means:… Read More »
This post should have been written before the one where I had a sample script which can call a flow to download a document, but, since these two posts happened to come out in the reverse order, it seems this is, technically, a prequel.

I’ve been diligently checking for this setting in my admin portal a few times per week lately, and, finally, it has arrived: Before you proceed, you might want to read my earlier intro post for this feature: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/matrix-business-units-the-cool-new-way-of-setting-up-user-security-in-microsoft-dataverse/ In this post, I’m just going to show how this works. First of all, don’t be surprised… Read More »
It happens every now and then that I have to re-create a columns across multiple environments, all because of the data type change. Sometimes, there are good reasons for that, and, sometimes, all I can do is kick myself for not thinking it through from the beginning; since, of course, changing data type for a… Read More »
I like how Microsoft keeps introducing changes to the Power Apps licensing – it’s good to see prices going down, API limits going up, and new licensing options being introduced in addition to the existing ones. So, what’s the story with that new “pay as you go” plan? https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/ It’s an interesting addition to the… Read More »
Here is an interesting error I ran into the other day: It does sound like there was something in the server response that was considered “sensitive data”, but what could have happened? The screenshot above is, actually, from the application I created specifically to reproduce the error and see why it’s happening, so it’s very… Read More »
You probably know how we can add required components to our solutions – there is an option for that in the maker portal, and it’s easy to use. For example, if I had “contact” table in the solution already, I could add required components for that table: And the idea is that all the relationships,… Read More »
