New Model-Driven App Designer

Yesterday, June 8th, Microsoft announced the public preview availability of the new Model-Driven App Designer (or Modern App Designer). You can read about the announcement on the Microsoft Power Apps blog in the link below

New Dataverse functionality in creation of App Users

In late 2019, I wrote a blog article on how to configure oAuth authentication for Dataverse by creating an App Registration record in Azure, and the configuring the App Registration/User account in your Dataverse environment so that it can be consumed as an Application User or Service Principal.

Hiding Grid Item Entity Images from your Model Driven App

As we all know when we display our grids in flow (responsive) mode, the style of the grid changes from table style into card view style. When this happens, what we see is a bubble that shows up next to each card item, and we don’t really have much control over the colors or the text within those bubbles.

CRUD Support for Virtual Tables

It seems like this was only a few days ago, but based on the sample that was published by Microsoft it’s been almost 2 weeks since Microsoft released CRUD support on Virtual tables.

Handling Missing Dataverse Privileges in Canvas App

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.

Calling an Azure Pipeline using a Cloud Flow or Canvas App

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.

No-Code Solution for custom Change Log using Web Hooks and Cloud Flows

In one of our recent requirements, we had to log changes to certain fields in a few different entities. Since we needed the value of the field before and after the change, the logical option was to use plugins and adding a pre-image step to it in order to save that data.

Approval Process with Outlook Adaptive Cards

To start the year, I would like to review Adaptive Cards, where last summer I had a Power Storm session with a couple of my fellow MVPs, Alex Shlega and Linn Zaw Win to get a little more familiarized with using Adaptive Cards, adding them to Cloud flows and Microsoft Teams, and sending adaptive cards via Outlook. About 5 months passed since then, and now I had the need to build something for a project that I am working on.
