Creating Offline Profiles Directly from Maker Studio In our previous blog, we explored how to enable offline capabilities in Canvas apps and how to manage offline data such as images and attachments within Dynamics 365. However, one important part of the offline setup was not fully streamlined creating and managing offline profiles. Previously, to configure… Read More »
If you’ve been developing Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) dataset controls for Dynamics 365 Model-Driven Apps, you’ve probably hit this at some point: one PCF control calls context.parameters.dataset.refresh(), and suddenly every PCF control on the form fires its updateView() not just the one that triggered the refresh. On a simple form it might go unnoticed.… Read More »
While exploring the capabilities of low-code plug-ins in Dataverse in our previous blog, we experimented with a simple scenario involving billing details calculation. The objective was to implement a small piece of logic that calculates the total bill amount based on values such as price, duration, and user count. During the implementation, you may notice… Read More »
As AI agents become increasingly embedded in enterprise workflows, providing accurate, up-to-date, and structured knowledge becomes essential. Microsoft Copilot Studio allows developers to connect agents directly to Dataverse tables, enabling agents to answer employee questions using real, structured enterprise data. With Dataverse as a knowledge source, your agent can handle HR, salary, leave, and other… Read More »
In the previous blog, we tackled the hurdle of bypassing MFA using saved authentication states. While getting past the login screen is a victory, the real challenge in Dynamics 365 (D365) lies in the UI interaction with a few fields. Unlike standard web forms, D365 relies heavily on asynchronous components. If your script doesn’t respect… Read More »
Building a simple card in Power Apps was a difficult task. If you wanted to show a list of records in a clean, visual way, you couldn’t just use one control. You had to manually assemble a patchwork of different elements. You would add a container for the background, drag in a label for the… Read More »
In Dynamics 365, when working with Power Apps inside the Dynamics 365 ecosystem, especially when consuming Dataverse APIs or Power Automate responses, developers often encounter challenges while handling structured data within a Canvas App. Many Dataverse entities, such as Account, contain nested or related records (for example, a Primary Contact). While it is possible to… Read More »
Microsoft Copilot Studio enables organizations to extend conversational agents using REST API tools defined via OpenAPI specifications. While native Dataverse connectors are ideal for internal CRM operations, REST tools become essential when CRM must integrate with external, real-time systems such as financial services, tax engines, or enterprise platforms. This blog demonstrates how a CRM Copilot… Read More »
In Dynamics 365, generating SSRS-based documents such as invoices, statements, and account summaries is a common practice. However, modern business expectations have evolved beyond static reporting. Today’s reports are expected to be more interactive, enabling users to take immediate actions directly from the document, particularly for time-sensitive activities like payments. In such a scenario, it’s… Read More »
Before the built-in Confirm() function existed, adding a simple yes/no confirmation in Power Apps required significant manual effort. In canvas apps, developers typically had to create overlay screens, place message text and action buttons, and manage visibility and state with variables and formulas, similar behavior often demanded custom JavaScript or other workaround techniques. These bespoke… Read More »
