i had watched 1 or 2 overviews of model driven apps a few months back, when I was just learning about powerapps. Now that I've created several canvas apps, I think this made a lot more sense - or maybe I really liked the way you explained and organized. While it still doenst seem to have the easy way to do custom forms with colors and such, the business rules didnt look so bad. I love that you can create one rule and apply it to multiple forms - thats wonderful.

@seanmay3978 7 месяцев назад

@@BulbDigital I am currently working on a asset management app that will be used to monitor and measure our assets. This includes items such as plant, machinery and equipment etc. the main purpose is to demonstrate compliance in relation to calibration, inspection or service requirements. However I have a few other projects pending that will include non-compliance management systems and snag reports. The model driven applications will be very useful for these scenarios.

@abdullahkasabji398 11 месяцев назад

Hi Michael, thanks for the explanation. my question is how we can now after building the app give the end users access to start interact with the app and populate some data Add/Edit into the data source "Dataverse", for example to embed the App in MS Teams for ease of access where they can click on a button and start filling the forms. Regards.

@BulbDigital 10 месяцев назад

The easiest way to do this is to find the app in your list of apps (in the solution). Then click the ellipses, and look for the Add to Teams option. This will open a panel which will let you specify which Team / Channel you want the app to appear in. Remember, if you're building an app that uses Dataverse (not Dataverse for Teams), all users who use the app will require paid Power Apps license. You can acquire Per App licenses and add them to the environment, or if you have additional apps / environments (more than 1) that some users need to use or access, then you can assign each of them a Power Apps Per User license.

Super video , Many Thanks I have 1 Question , How can i integrate my Model driven app to MS D365 ?, so that ii can create customers at D365 and then use them at Model Driven app for my flows and processing

@BulbDigital Год назад

Let's assume you have maker or greater security role in your D365 Power Platform Environment. You can create a new Model Driven App in that environment to do what you want to do. Truth be told, Dynamics is all essentially Model Driven Apps. The one caveat is that you'll want to avoid making any changes to anything that D365 uses. For example, there are a number of tables like Account, Contact, etc. that are used by D365. Making changes to these could have unintended effects on your Dynamics instance. Another method might be to customize your Dynamics instance (apps) to do the additional things you're trying to do. This would assume that all of your users have Dynamics licenses. If you are simply wanting to provide alternative access through a different MDA to the same data behind your Dynamics instance, then you can build a new MDA and just ensure any user who accesses that app has a Premium Power Apps license (Per User or Per App), and any account that runs flows using that data will also need a Premium Power Automate license.

@ranjanroy1623 Год назад

@@BulbDigital Thanks much sir for your reply . It all make sense . One last question, Is there a way by which i can get all details (field values) directly populated in my model driven app , if that account exists within D365 ? Let's say I'm on my "screen 1" of model driven app , and I enter "account number" and then if that "account number" exists within D365, then all corresponding details of that account are auto populated in the below section of "screen 1 " of MDA. If not i can go ahead and then create one . many thanks again for your words of wisdom !

Should the Primary Column always be something unique eg. First and last name or can it be whatever you want (I guess what im really asking is if duplicate values are allowed)

@BulbDigital 7 месяцев назад

Love this question because I think this concept can be confusing for lots of people. The values in the Primary column do not have to be unique. You can enforce unique values if you add the primary column as the single column selected in a new Key on your table. The primary column on a table in Dataverse might also seem like an annoyance in many scenarios. For example the Full Name column on the Contact table, is intended to combine the first and last name of the contact. But it would not be great if the user had to enter first and last name twice, so there is a process that updates the Full Name column automatically. So, when designing your tables, keep this in mind. You might consider creating a flow to trigger on create and update when your "key" fields are updated, so that you can automatically update the value in the primary column for the user. There are two key reasons for the existence of the primary column on a Dataverse table: 1. This is the column that is enabled as a link to the record within Model Driven Apps / Dataverse. It literally is there to make navigation to the record a single click operation for the end user. 2. It is also useful as a human readable value that the end user can use to distinguish records as different. Of course you can include additional columns in your views, but combining the "distinguishing" record columns into the primary column in a standard way makes it easier for a user to visually identify the row they are looking for.

@whatsdrugs 7 месяцев назад

@@BulbDigital Thanks for the reply. So wouldn't it just be easier to always label it "ID" and just have it auto generate numbers?

@BulbDigital 7 месяцев назад

First, there is already going to be an "Id" column created for you which will be of type unique identifier (GUID) which is automatically populated and is also the underlying unique reference id / key for each record in the table. The Primary column is NOT intended for this purpose and as such does not have a unique constraint applied by default. Second, you will want the Primary column to include something that is useful for the user to visually identify the record and then click to navigate to the record. This field is also the default field used by the search term / text filter on a view. Using a number for this purpose would be kind of silly. Humans tend to remember, reference, and associate names like "John Smith" much more naturally than the number 17. This is also one of those things that you may need to build once or twice to see how it behaves to get a real feel for it.

@whatsdrugs 7 месяцев назад

@@BulbDigital Thanks for the info! I've always used MS Lists for my databases, and it's worked great. The issue is that I'm now having to learn Dataverse and finding it counterintuitive.

I wanted to edit/customize my command bar in the new look, but it keeps staying disabled/readonly? Help

@BulbDigital 7 месяцев назад

Are you trying to manage a custom command / button or the ones that exist by default? The first thing to remember is that all of the out-of-the-box buttons are going to be disabled for customization. You can use a tool like the XrmToolBox and the Ribbon Workbench to manipulate these in various ways, but that's a bit more advanced. You can add your own buttons to the command bar for an entity and manage those. Once you do this, remember that in order to make changes these commands you'll need to "Open component library" to do so.

@HazzR8 8 месяцев назад

The licensing costs make model driven apps unfeasible for anything but a medium to large scale D365 integration which is a shame because they are genuinely excellent. For anyone interested they are around £10,000 per month for just under 1000 users. That's over 100k a year which for a medium size company is ridiculous.

@BulbDigital 8 месяцев назад

How much do you think it should cost? Just a reminder they do have different tiers or licenses, so end users who are just using a single app can get by for much cheaper than a developer
