Power Apps Help Need Assistance with Powerapps and Dataverse Offline

3 Upvotes

My app is for commissioning. So many checklists and data collection tables for various types of equipment. I have a current app built into SQL that is not normalized at all due to the previous developer and is extremely slow. I also now need to go offline sometimes and I need to basically recreate the app in dataverse.

My main question is how multiple users on many tables in a newly created relational database will filter down correctly for offline mode. I understand solutions and the filters in there but I want an end user to assign projects and be able to also filter by their craft from within the app interface.

I know how to do all this filtering in Powerapps Canvas. I do not know or can find the correct information on how to pass this back to the solution for dataverse offline. Every video I can find talks about one user on one table . I need multiple users on many tables. Is this just not possible without configuring in solutions every time?

Why can't it read from the Powerapps filters to know which rows to grab on a day by day basis. Am I missing something? Is this just not possible? The database will grow to be quite large. 35 tables or so with up to 1 million rows in the far future. I never need to grab the full 1 million rows but the end user won't understand how to change the filters every day from solutions. I also do not want them in the backend.

I will never need more than 10,000 records at a time without pictures or documents. I need to add pictures in offline mode I just don't need all the older images.

Is all of this possible?

Discussion Fusion development

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am working in Insurance/banking in Europe as a technical lead. We have implemented Power Platform as a tech for citizens and any form of EUDAs in business departments. We have done things rather well I believe so far, with a local COE team per BU, a regularly updated governance framework and enforcement strategy etc...

After 2 years, we have around 30 real big solutions in use across the company. Now, a key point of the governance is that it draws a clear line between EUDAs and IT systems, and citizens cannot integrate between these two (2 separate landscapes, essentially).

We have more and more use cases that grow to levels where integration is a requirement, as alternatives make the solution obsolete. Thus, we are discussing now IF and How we should implement low code and the platform as an allowed technology for IT developers and basically open some use cases to fusion development.

I'm interested to hear from your experiences and opinions, advices... That'd help me a lot in coming up with a solid proposal!

Power Apps Help Help with using service account as an automate connection with Dataverse

3 Upvotes

So I thought I understood how connections and connection references work but it is still confusing to me. I had my IT department create a service account (not a service principal) that I use for most things that shouldn't be tied to my own credentials. I have flows that create records in Dataverse and want these to be 'Created By' the service account. I set up the connection reference to use the service account credentials. It seems to work in my dev environment: I trigger the flow (using my personal credentials) but the records are created by the service account.

However I noticed in my production environment that when users are triggering this flow, it is being created with MY name; not their name and not the service account. From what I have gathered about connections is that a connection reference is part of your solution that simply states, generally, "this is a connection to dataverse and it is using abc_commondataserviceapps_rr320 as the connection" but it does not hold credentials itself. Actual credentials are held by the connection which exists outside the solution and is environment specific (and sometimes user specific).

When I deploy to production, I am asking to update connections, but it is only allowing me to create connections using my own credentials. I cannot change them to the service account. I tried separately creating the service account connection in prod first but it still doesn't appear in the list of connections to select when deploying. I then tried logging in as the service account and deploying, but it gives me an issue when trying to create the connection on that account for some reason.

So what is the right or best way to achieve what I need?

Power Apps Help Powerapp permissions to view items

5 Upvotes

I am setting up an app for reporting, viewing and analyzing work accidents. The data gets stored into Sharepoint list Accidents.
Now the main concern I currently have is how to setup up security. The demand for the security comes in 4 levels - described below ->

Group Level – Overview of all incidents in the application

  • Legal Department
  • Safety Engineers from the main company hub
  • CEO
  • HR Director

Plant Level – Overview of all incidents and statistics for the plant

  • Plant Director
  • Safety Engineers of Subsidiary Plants
  • Legal Department of Subsidiary Plants

Department Level – Overview of incidents and statistics for the department

  • Department Manager
  • Operations Manager

Team Level – Overview of incidents reported by individual employees

  • Supervisors
  • Production Managers

Can this be done in a good way via sharepoint/powerapps and how ?

I am fairly new with this so any insight would be great.

Anyway to simplify the logic, we have 6 plants.

Group level (CEO..) sees all plants and all events

Plant Level sees only events for their plant.

Deparment level needs to see events that happened in their department.

Team level user only sees the events he/she reported.

Some more info would be, we created another list in sharepoint, where we have created some sort of Notification logic ->

Incident TYPE Fixed Email Recipients Variable Email Recipients Location-Based
Potential Hazard Safety Engineers No
Near Miss Safety Engineers Plant Director, Department Manager, Deputy Department Manager, Maintenance Manager Yes – based on plant and department
Forklifts and Pallets Safety Engineers Plant Director, Department Manager, Deputy Department Manager, Quality Manager, Maintenance Manager Yes – based on plant and department
Workplace Injury Safety Engineers, CEO, HR Director, Legal Department Plant/Sector Director, Department Manager, Deputy Department Manager Yes – based on plant and department

Could this list also be of help when defining the access to the app ?

Discussion Tools to improve development and management of apps

10 Upvotes

Hey all!

I've been a Power Apps developer for about 6 years now. Just got my first new job on a Team Lead role at a new company and am looking for ways to improve our app processes and management and scaling and such.

I have used lightly used XRM Toolbox in the past (mostly just the XML Builder) and done some stuff with the PAC CLI. Was wondering if there are any other tools either through Microsoft or Third Party (free or paid, I'm curious about either) that people use to help with their Power Platform development. I am looking into the Power CAT family of tools as well. They look pretty sweet and useful. I've also used the PCF finder website (can't remember the name specifically off the top of my head but i know its pretty popular, so if youre thinking of one, its probably that one). But yeah any other recommendations anyone has to help me manage this team and assists us with development would be really useful!

Thanks in advance!

Discussion Boolean value treated as Text inside filter statements

Team,
Idk if anyone seen this issue before. I have variable in formulas that results in true/false value but when I use to negate a filter it fails. it only works with cast it as Boolean at and only at the filter statement because casting Boolean at the formula didn't work.

I hope this helps instead of split filters with an if statement

Good Luck!

Power Apps Help Moving Power Automate Flows to a Service Account When Connected to Microsoft Forms

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm in the process of moving our business-critical Power Automate flows to a dedicated service account to reduce dependency on individual users.

One issue I've run into is with flows that use Microsoft Forms triggers/actions. Some of these forms were created by other users, and although I'm a Microsoft 365/Power Platform admin, I am not an owner of the Forms. As a result, I can't select or manage those forms when trying to update the flow connections under the service account.

From what I can tell, Microsoft Forms doesn't provide a straightforward way for admins to take ownership of a user's personal form, unlike some other M365 workloads. Unfortunately, that makes migrating these flows a challenge.

Has anyone found a workaround for this scenario?

Power Apps Help Sharepoint list powerapp form won't allow you to edit and save the form if the user selected in the people picker no longer exists

1 Upvotes

I have a list where we're using a custom powerapp form and it has a few people picker fields. If an item is created with a particular user in a field, and that person leaves the business, we can no longer edit and save the record using the form. It fails on the submitform method on that field

The update of the form field has:

Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & ComboBox2.Selected.Mail, Department: "", DisplayName: ComboBox2.Selected.DisplayName, Email: ComboBox2.Selected.Mail, JobTitle: "", Picture: ""

If I pass in blank() for the claims, it clears the data, which I don't want. Is there a way I can overcome this without writing my own patch? It seems silly that Microsoft never thought of this themselves

Power Apps Help Power Apps ComboBox returns data in Items but displays blank rows after copying app and changing SharePoint datasource

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a strange issue in Power Apps and I'm hoping someone has experienced this before.

I copied an existing Power App using Save As and created a new version. The original app works perfectly.

The main change I made was replacing the SharePoint datasource:

Old:

Dispensation Approvers

New:

Dispensation Approvers (Corporate)

My ComboBox Items property is:

Distinct(
    Filter(
        'Dispensation Approvers (Corporate)',
        Region.Value = DtRegion.Selected.Value,
        Location.Value = DpLocation.Selected.Value,
        Area.Value = "SCM",
        If(
            DtDispensationType.Selected.Value = "Qualification",
            Qualification = true,
        If(
            DtDispensationType.Selected.Value = "Ariba Registration",
            'Ariba Registration' = true,
        If(
            DtDispensationType.Selected.Value = "Payment Terms",
            'Payment Terms' = true,
        If(
            DtDispensationType.Selected.Value = "Sole Sourcing",
            'Sole Sourcing' = true
        ))))
    ),
    Approver.DisplayName
)

The strange thing is:

  • The formula evaluates correctly.
  • Formula Evaluation shows all expected names.
  • The Filter returns records.
  • Distinct returns values.
  • No formula errors are displayed.
  • The same formula works in the original app.

The ComboBox fields were configured as:
["Value"]

Additional note: If I inspect the result of the Items formula, I can clearly see names such as "Vanessa Drapier", "Valesca Prates", etc. The data exists, but the ComboBox does not render it correctly. This makes me think the issue is related to the control configuration rather than the formula itself.

The first screenshot shows the ComboBox dropdown displaying blank rows.
The second screenshot shows the formula evaluation returning the expected values correctly (display names are being returned by the formula).

Also, sorry for my English. I'm Brazilian, so English is not my first language. I hope my explanation is understandable.

I Solved: I simply deleted the combo box and created a new one with the same values ​​in all the fields, and it just worked. I don't know how, since it was identical to the previous one; it seems like Power Apps just glitched out before.

Currently, I take the YAML of the Powerapp Canvas, paste it into Copilot Chat, and tell it what updates or changes I want to make. It's working fine, and I've been able to produce incredible things from it.

However, lately, Copilot has been getting slow and wonky. My environment is a locked-down, and I can't install new apps or use external websites, except for Copilot. But I'm able to send the YAML to an unrestricted computer if it needs to be coded via other agents. Are there any other ways to improve this flow to use a superior coding agent to code faster and better?

Power Apps Help Downgrade from dataverse to sharepoint lists: is it worth it?

33 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

​I’m currently an intern and I am completely losing my mind over a client situation. I need some serious advice, or at the very least, a sanity check.

​For the last 4 months, I have been developing a comprehensive database and application solution. Everything (the relational data models, the documentation, the flowcharts, and the test scripts) was built entirely around Microsoft Dataverse so they could have a proper, functioning relational database infrastructure as they just managed all their data only through emails somehow (mind you, we are talking about a big company).

​Suddenly, out of nowhere, the client hits us with a bombshell: They refuse to pay the $20 premium license for Dataverse.

Because of a complete lack of budget planning or management checking before development started, the client is now telling me we might have to migrate the whole thing to SharePoint lists to bypass the premium connector wall.

​This absolutely guts the application. It leaves huge chunks of the solution entirely useless as there was a model driven app specially for data moderation, breaks the data relationships, and means all the testing documentation I spent weeks writing is now garbage. I will literally have to redo a lot of stuff from scratch because they want to use SharePoint as a makeshift database.

Now, I have already embedded the new SharePoint lists to the canvas app and changed the automations to these new settings as soon as I was told, however is this really the best I can do? Just ditch the model driven app for administrators and let them mod on SharePoint? I feel like this is a waste of time and resources, plus I don't really know how secure it is to keep all of this information in a place like that. Have some of y'all gone through this? How hard was it? Is it possible to embed lists on model driven apps without dataverse use? I need a bunch of advice on this lol, thanks for reading.

Power Apps Help Is it possible to clone an entire model-driven app under a different publisher?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I completed an app as an intern for a company project. However, due to a history of outsourcing development to vendors, we did not realize that the default publisher is set as "company A" when deploying solutions. I'm unable to deploy the solution as it would be "companyA_app" instead of "myCompany_app".

I've tried logging a ticket to MS to change the unique name/prefix of the application but seems to not be possible. Thus, is there a way to cleanly clone an application with all its configurations? I understand that I can recreate the application under a new solution which will be the correct publisher, but would like to avoid that due to time. Thanks for reading!

Discussion I built a Pokedex PowerApp

Post image
273 Upvotes

This has been my weekend project where I wanted to build a Pokedex PowerApp. Using data from the PokeAPI I then cached in SharePoint, I wanted to build something with a rich set of data that the API provides as well as a dataset that I care about (big Pokemon fan). The "phase one" I had for this app was:

  1. Create a clean modern UI to showcase the Pokemon allowing for basic filtering and search capabilities
  2. Be able to go into the Pokemon details to see more status and Pokedex entry data from the various games.
  3. App must be fully responsive for mobile and desktopI

What I'm asking the community for is some UI/UX design feedback and feature ideas. Is there anything that sticks out that could be improved? To me, the app seems, kinda "plain" abeit I think intuitive enough to use. Unsurprisingly, I used AI (Claude) to help with some of the styling; particularly the html control elements. So far, I have future feature ideas like:

  1. Integrate with a Pokemon TCG API to obtain trading card details
  2. Add more complex filtering and sort capabilities
  3. Include a randomizer function to select a random Pokemon
  4. Have a means of recording "Captured" Pokemon, favorite, and wishlist Pokemon

I'd like to keep iterating on the app to also a good baseline as a teaching tool for PowerApps Canvas Design and Best Practices as well. It's something I'm looking to publish to github and blog further on if there's interest.

 

Thanks for your time.

Hi everyone-

Made an update to my model-driven app and now the users are getting an error accessing one of the tables (it's called Project).

I'm an admin and it works just fine for me. Everyone that's not an admin gets this error and the message:

Operation called with invalid attributes in columnSet.

The only thing I did in my update was add a field and remove two fields from a form and the same two fields in the Project table.

Have never experienced this before. Is this something to open a ticket with Microsoft about?

Solved Issue with date fields on modern form connected to dataverse table

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

Hi All,

I've come across a strange issue with date fields in a modern form connected to a dataverse table.

I have a few date fields in my table, and when I add these fields to a modern form the form renders them as "view only" text inputs

I've tried manually deleting the text input and replacing it with a date picker, but this doesn't work either as the card is created with no "update" field, so the date never gets update.

I'm reasonably sure it's a modern form issue because this does not happen with a classic form which behaves as expected with date fields.

Has anyone else seen this issue or am just doing something very dumb without realising it?
