In preparation for our upcoming NYC BizApps event on October 27, 2021, and the Power Platform 2021 Wave 2 release (weekend of October 23/24), I am writing a series of blog posts related to some of the most sought after updates. This first update is the redesigned solution explorer.
There are quite a bit of update with the new solution explorer, so I will not review all of them, but just some highlights about them.
In the last few months I have been working on upgrading the customer´s unmanaged environments to managed. The customer had been working with unmanaged environments for about 5 years, and after joining, this has been one of the first things that I determined would be needed for this customer.
A couple of months ago, I wrote a post about changes on the creation of Application Users and the ability to manage this via the Power Platform Admin Center. Not much time has passed, and a few additions have been added to the Admin Center, which allows to manage Users, Teams and Security Roles. We are still missing some functionality to reach parity with the classic interface, but we are on our way.
In the last few days, Microsoft made some big announcements related to new features that are not available in public preview. These are the Public Preview of Custom Pages for converging mode-driven apps and canvas apps as well as the command designer for model-driven apps with Power FX (which is still in preview).
I have been working with a client for the past year or so, where they have been using the Data Export Service to write data from their Dataverse environment to an Azure hosted SQL Server.
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
A few days ago, while performing some QA tasks on a project that I am working on, we noticed that one of our embedded Canvas Apps was no longer working on an Apple iPad device. We were getting an error that was related to cookies not being enabled on the device, but after looking at the organization policy and the settings on the device we found out that was not the case.
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.
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.
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.
