Once upon a time server-side connections to Dynamics 365 / CRM were easy. Use username and password to connect and, if you are license-conscious, use non-interactive account. Users have timezones that can be set using personal options (for non-interactive, logon after assigning the license but before converting to non-interactive, and set the zone). The day […]
No, Microsoft didn’t invent the time machine (though you can buy one in store). As part of modernizing the way Dynamics 365 gets updated, the team has just released October 2018 release notes. Why did the notes get released 3 (and for some features 5) months ahead of schedule? So that customers and partners can […]
I already wrote about the benefits of learning new language features. Equally important is to understand what assemblies are available as part of Dynamics 365 SDK, how they work, what classes and interfaces are available, and how the edge cases work (basically, “what-if” scenarios, like “what if this is null”). This week I had “privilege” […]
We keep hearing this question over and over again from the customers, consultants, and developers: Are production instances given any preferential treatment in terms of resources as compared to sandbox and trial instances? I thought it’d be a good idea to revisit the 4 years old answer as nothing has changed since then. As per […]
We want our users to have confidence in the apps that we create and shove down their deploy. That’s not an easy task according to Steve “Mr SMB” Mordue who asks “How do we display our icon here, instead of puzzle piece in custom app? Puzzle Pieces do not instil confidence.” “That looks like a […]
We did mentioned in the past that most of the good inventions are driven by the laziness. Auto numbering the new records is one of those. Instead of manually looking up the next available number, calling other users to see if they have any intention of creating a new record in the next few minutes, […]
You probably have noticed a somewhat reduced stream of daily tips. “More like tip of the week now” you say and you’d be right. We’ve been extremely busy in the last couple of months: countless pints consumed in between awesome sessions at CRMUG EMEA in Dublin despite my inept organizational abilities, the inaugural BAD Masterclass […]
If you are working with multiple user or app identities (e.g. for testing), and the code uses ADAL, and especially if the application is killed or crashes, you may occasionally get an error: multiple_matching_tokens_detected: The cache contains multiple tokens satisfying the requirements. Call AcquireToken again providing more requirements (e.g. UserId) Note that it does not […]
Mini Truckstop Today we have a stop with two Vikings (different countries though): Jonas “The Shuffler” Rapp and Marius Agur Hagelund Lind Jonas – Question Recently we have found a new (?) problem at a customer, where emails are incorrectly “connected” to the wrong sender. By what rule/rules does Dynamics 365 chose which record to […]
PowerApps are very expressive when it comes to data filtering, sorting, and other data manipulations. To maximize the application performance, PowerApps have a concept of delegation where PowerApps will delegate the processing of data to the backend instead of pumping data to the app for local processing. For your application to scale it’s important to […]
