In a recent implementation I was working on a Canvas app that was supposed to display records to the users in a Nested Gallery. The users that would be accessing the gallery would always have permission to see the parent gallery, but not everyone had permissions to view the child gallery.
With everything that is going on around ALM and CI/CD and how to implement an automated deployment process with Azure Dev Ops of Github actions, there are still many organizations that have a lot of work that needs to be done before they can turn the switch over.
As always, I try to bring some real world scenarios that I was required to implement and modify the logic a little bit. In today’s app we will be creating a project record and adding and removing membership to the project while adding custom logic to adhere to special circumstances. You can do this of course with a model-driven app, but the main requirement was to make sure that the percentages of ownership on the Project is always 100%.
In my last blog post of this year, I decided to write about creating Nested Galleries in Canvas Apps. There are probably various blogs and videos of this already, but I thought of simplifying this, as it seems to be a common request.
Recently, while working on some requirements, I noticed that one of the solutions that the company implemented was to replicate the Azure Groups and Members from AD into their Dataverse environment. This seemed to me to be unnecessary, but sometimes due to security restrictions, this might be the only way.
As Microsoft is still making changes to connection references, I have been trying to get it to work with a service principal account, and account a few interesting points that are important for anyone who will be developing and deploying Power Automate flows using the Service Principal Connection reference.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about embedding a Canvas App in a Model Driven form, and compared the options of whether, in my case I should have embedded the app using the Canvas App control, or as we implemented using an iframe on the form.
We have all seen different articles and posts that detail the steps of how to embed a Canvas App within a Model-Driven form by adding the Canvas App control to a field on the form, but sometimes that might not be enough for the requirements that we have in place.
In this blog post I will review the recent announcement from Microsoft Ignite, where we saw first hand Project Oakdale, or Power Apps within Microsoft Teams. The post will show you how to enable Power Apps within your teams tenant, and how to start working on your first app.
I have started working with AI Builder recently and yesterday I finally took a look at the Business Card scanner. I decided to check how this works in the different apps, both Modal Driven as well as Canvas Apps.
I ran my tests using 4 different types of business cards and wanted to see how well this works. The results overall were pretty good, but not perfect. It is still hard to expect perfect results, as not all Business cards are created equal.
