Today’s tip from Linda Connolly – thanks! You can send your tip to jar@crmtipoftheday.com too! I spotted this one when doing some work earlier in the week. If you’re building a business unit specific solution for a customer and want to quickly and easily only show them the views/forms designed for them, add the Site […]
Tip #1291: Do NOT create Flows
I am slowly dragging myself back to reality and going through the backlog of the tips submitted by our readers after an insane family holiday… (You can drop your tip into jar@crmtipoftheday.com. I can’t guarantee that we will publish the tip but I can promise that if we don’t, I will write to you personally […]
Tip #1280: To split, or not to split, that is the question!
The subject of today’s tip is highly debatable but Eric Regnier did do justice to it. (Want to start a discussion of your own? Email your tip to jar@crmtipoftheday.com) In many implementations particularly complex ones, often comes a situation to determine if the same entity should be used for the different “types” (or categories). Say […]
Tip #1279: Select your region in multi-geo deployments
Today’s tip is from Moez Tounsi (and if you have a tip of your own, email to to jar@crmtipoftheday.com). It is about Dynamics 365 Administration Center (yes, it’s still there – t.j.). Let’s say we have a tenant in EMEA (crm4) with multi-geo activated in it and a couple of Instances in NA others are […]
Tip #1278: This message never ends
Sometimes even the best of the best could be puzzled by the mysterious innerworkings of Dynamics 365/CDS SDK. Tanguy “The XRM Toolbox” Touzard was not having a good day… For one of my projects, I’m using ReassignObjectsOwnerRequest SDK message to move records from one team to another team. When this request should last more than […]
Tip #1277: Alternative connector to trigger Flow from Dynamics 365
I’ve always been a fan of webhooks. In fact, I even manage to mention them twice in my rare crystal ball post for developers. Today’s tip is a good reminder from Stefan Strube that webhooks are not only a solid way to launch your code in Azure Function but also can be a good alternative […]
Tip #1270: Table or view is not full-text indexed
Today’s tip is from Marius Agur Hagelund “Viking” Lind (actually, I’m confused, perhaps it’s Marius “Viking” Agur Hagelund Lind?). Got a tip of your own? Send it to jar@crmtipoftheday.com. Cannot use CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view because it is not full-text indexed Mean SQL Server If you’ve ever got this error […]
Tip #1268: Restrict CDS instance creation
With P2 licensing, can you control who can spin up a CDS instance via Azure Active Directory since each license comes with 2 CDS instances? (we don’t want hundreds of CDS instances cluttering up our tenant) The question from an enterprise business size UG member, generously relayed to us by Jerry “Forever Tipster” Weinstock Via […]
Tip #1253: This tip was deliberately left blank
Yeah, really, we screwed up. But you have, as of the time of writing, 1253 perfectly good tips. How about the Tip #1252: Creating a Planner task with Flow: wait a minute or Tip #1254: Design Dynamics 365 email templates with the new email editor? Cover photo by unsplash-logoBradley Howington
Tip #1250: Forms won’t load in Chrome
With Joel being busy or lazy, I’m claiming credit for that one even though I have nothing to do with it. Problem: Classic UI [allegedly – t.j.] has an issue in v8.x where Chrome will just keep ‘spinning’ on some of the forms without returning anything. Solution: Add an empty JS file to the form. […]
