In November 2020, Microsoft introduced a new and improved Relevance Search experience to customer engagement apps (Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Marketing & Project Service Automation). Enabling the new Relevance Search experience is easy, and gives users a search toolbar in the middle of their model-driven Power App, with an intuitive, familiar and … Continue reading Query Syntax For Relevance Search In Customer Engagement Apps

I hesitated with this blog post… because I missed the change in functionality when it first released and was actually behind the times. Coming back to my overall belief that if it was new to me, it is likely new to, at minimum, a few other people out there, I figured I would still publish … Continue reading Save A Filtered View As A New View In A Model-driven App

If you are a System Administrator, you know that to get to administrator type things (technical term ), you are hopefully going to the Power Platform Admin centre.

Not only that, I had a session that I presented all about Power BI (you can see it here in video format if interested in that kind of thing!). So, what do I know? Primarily, I am … Continue reading Don’t ‘Stay In Your Lane’
