Build Customized Solutions for Your Business Needs

Love this vid, very clearly explained and so straight to the subject

[@marcdoliveira4906]

Outstanding!!! Thank you so much for the vid.

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.

Cara, we really appreciate your comment. It means a lot when we hear that someone was helped in the exact way we set out to help!

[@seanmay3978]

This was by far the best video I have seen on this subject! Great content that does not deviate from the topic with just enough detail to allow the potential to be demonstrated. Awesome job!

[@BulbDigital]

Glad it was helpful! What projects are you working on?

[@seanmay3978]

@@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.

This was the exact guide I was looking for. Thank you!

So happy to hear! Thanks for watching 😁

More education on solutions please! Thank you for this video and the others you publish; always great content!

Hey, Bronson! Thanks for the kind words, we appreciate it 😁

[@jasonsealy4103]

@@BulbDigital yeah having a video on solutions best practice and strategy would be great! Also would be great to include when to use different solution strategies. Thanks!

[@uzoruchenna4863]

Simple and straight forward. Please do you have tutorials on Dynamics

[@BulbDigital]

We don't have any on Dynamics features at the moment. Are there particular areas of Dynamics for which you'd like to see this type of content?

[@abdullahkasabji398]

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]

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]

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]

​@@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 !

[@scottthompson4513]

Hey, great video. At about 17:05 you've DOXed yourself a bit. might want to scrub that out.

[@jaanuj.v.2482]

Its really helpful for me can you upload more videos on power apps and a video related to creating dashboard in power apps

[@BulbDigital]

Hey! Glad we could help you - we'll definitely will keep that type of content in mind! Thanks for the suggestion 😊

[@SmartLearningAI]

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

[@BulbDigital]

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.
