I was trying to learn model driven apps for past 2 months and it is your video that gives me the kind of understanding I need to start with. You make is to easy to understand which functionality is for what use and how should we approach it. Its like laying a blueprint foundation before getting lost into the details of each feature. Thanks a lot and keep up with the amazing work.

[@ShanesCows]

Thanks. Will do. 😎

[@TheKermit2110]

Sending you best wishes re your recent sad news on Chewy, Shane. Hope the good memories will soon overtake the grief. Hope you take some time out to gather yourself, too. Will be waiting for your excellent tutorage when you come back.

Thanks Shane Young. I can get started with Model driven app

[@ShanesCows]

Awesome 😎

[@itxptube]

Just what I wanted and just as I needed it. Thank you! Project for the web accelerator uses a model driven app and dataverse tables so I expect this to start popping up in other places too soon.

Awesomeness!

[@philfinkler]

As someone who has worked with Dynamics 365 since Micrsoft CRM 4.0, I may be a little biased when I say model driven apps are amazing for no-code. It's a great way to give your data a front-end which requires little work to get up and running. No need to worry about the visual aspects of the app - it's all done for you. It's a consistent look and feel and when used in conjunction with D365 apps, it's a great way to extend the application(s). After all, that's why it exists.

[@ShanesCows]

Thanks for the info!

[@fnanfne]

Being so used to, and in love with canvas, I really detest model-driven, it's just yucky. Glad to see you made a video on this topic Shane, watching with eyes+ears wide open!

I wasn’t a fan for a long time but I am getting there now. Stuff is solid. 👍

[@christopherpulekalimalwend1479]

This is a great tutorial. I have about 12 tables. Could this be ideal for my 12 tables?

[@ShanesCows]

Yes, if you have all of the Dataverse tables done this would be a stellar approach. And easy to build and test to see if you like it or not.

[@PowerAppsEric]

Not sure if you've covered it in another video, but it's good to note that you can reference those table views in canvas apps. It helps when you have complex filters or when you use the same set of filters in multiple cases.

[@ShanesCows]

Good point Eric. 😎

[@Paul___L]

Ah I'm gonna have to wait a day or two to watch this but very excited. Tried to get a dataverse driven app going last month but due to time constraints bodged a simpler (that I already understood) solution.

[@jfranciscose]

Hey Shane, I am a big fan of you in the power platform conference last year..I've been following your tutorials on creating Model-Driven Apps and I'm currently developing an ERP system using this platform. I've found your videos incredibly helpful and informative. However, as I delve deeper into the project, I'm starting to have some concerns about the potential costs associated with Dataverse storage. I understand that 1 GB of storage is currently priced at $40 per month, but I'm struggling to grasp how much data that actually represents in practical terms, especially when considering storing invoices and receipts data (not documents), and other relevant information for an entire ERP system. I would greatly appreciate your insights on data usage and cost optimization and tips and I'm particularly interested in your opinion on whether proceeding with Model-Driven Apps for my ERP is the most cost-effective and efficient solution in the long run. Thank you for your time and expertise. I look forward to hearing from you.

Build your Model-driven app in the environment for D365. Then you will see all of your tables and you can connect up to whatever you want. 😎

Thanks for great video Shane! I didn't even realize it was 40 mins long. About Dataverse, I quickly took a look at the subscription cost - Per user plan is $20/person & Each person gets ~250 MB .... Seems sort of expensive. Am I missing something?

[@GraemesAdventures]

Hi Shane. I'm trying to add data to a table I've created (first time) and I can't add anything in my primary column. It seems to be system generated as soon as I add data to another column in the row, and it is a 36 character alphanumeric code. What I think I need to do is ignore the primary column (essentially call it systemID), and then build my table from there. Thoughts?

[@drummermike5150]

Thank for the video! Quick question. We already use a Low-Code platform that is built on top of a SQL Server database so our data-model already exists. Would you recommend building canvas apps on top of this already existing data model using the SQL Server connector or rebuild the model in Dataverse and use a model-driven approach? Let me also add that I am a SQL Developer with some front end web dev experience and our apps need to be mostly mobile. Thanks!

[@ShanesCows]

Mike if you are already a SQL rockstar then I don't see the harm in building canvas apps connected to your existing SQL. :) Learn one thing at a time. Dataverse is awesome but SQL is pretty good also. Both require premium licensing.

[@drummermike5150]

@@ShanesCows Thank you Shane! I will start going down the canvas app path. From what I've seen the interface is more customizable with a canvas app so there is another win!

[@chahineatallah2636]

Hi Shane, do you have video about security roles details?

[@felixverduin569]

Always wondering why I don't develop a model driven app but a canvas app for the client. You have a system to choose between these two options Shane?

[@ShanesCows]

Licensing first. Capabilities and customization also go in. But if a model app can do what they want it should probably be the choice.

With Model-driven apps? I do not.

[@mikbank]

Brilliant! To me, it looks like you could create your own ERP system with this. But how would you import all the data from an old legacy system? To me it seems practical if you could import from AD/Delve but I have not seen any examples of that, would you recommend doing something else?
