Power Pages: Unprecedented Times for Long-Time Customers

Posted on April 3, 2024 by Nicholas Hayduk

With the release of documentation describing the migration from the Standard Data Model to the Enhanced Data Model, we’ve entered some unprecedented times for organizations that have been using Power Pages for a long time. For the first time since Microsoft acquired the product, a significant upgrade of the website will be necessary at some point in the future to transition to both Bootstrap v5 and the Enhanced Data Model.

Power Pages: Pro Code Techniques in the Templates – Custom Interface for Location Selection

Posted on March 6, 2024 by Nicholas Hayduk

This month we continue our look at some of the pro code techniques that appear in the templates available for Power Pages. We’re going to stick with the “Schedule and Manage Meetings” template, which provides a multistep form for booking a meeting. This time we’re going to look at the second step, where a user can select which location they want their appointment at. This step includes some custom JavaScript, plus a PCF Control.

Power Pages: Multiselect Change Event

Posted on January 2, 2024 by Nicholas Hayduk

I was very excited when multiselect (choices) column support was finally added to Power Pages in 2022. While I had published a workaround on this blog (and it was one of the more popular posts on the site), it was great not having to create extra fields and register plugins. Recently, however, I was asked about how to work with these fields on the form in JavaScript. I’ll dive into that in this post.

Power Pages: Adding a Custom Form Modal to List Action Buttons

Posted on December 8, 2023 by Nicholas Hayduk

Recently there was a comment on my blog Power Apps Portals: Related Entity as Source of Next Web Form Step about adding a custom Edit button to a list or subgrid. In this case, rather than editing the main row in the table, they wanted to edit a row that was related to the main row. If you want the edit form to pop up in a modal, it requires a bit of JavaScript. In this post, I’ll go through what you need to do in order to achieve this functionality.

Power Apps Portals: Web Forms with Complex Conditions

Posted on January 7, 2021 by Nicholas Hayduk

It’s been too long since I’ve posted! With all of the virtual conferences taking place in 2020, I couldn’t find the time to get any blog posts done. But I plan to change that in 2021. First off, I want to share a solution for when you want to use the Condition type of Web Form Steps, but your condition is more complicated than just checking if a regular field equals a specific value.

Power Apps Portals: Customizing Date and Time Format on Notes and Activities

Posted on July 16, 2020 by Nicholas Hayduk

I’ve been working a lot with Notes and Timelines on the Portal recently, and it just so happens that I had a recent comment on one of my old posts asking about customizing how dates are shown when displaying notes. The code didn’t end up being too long, but it involves a couple different techniques that I thought were worth exploring a bit more in depth.

Power Apps Portals: Notes vs Timeline Metadata – Comparison

Posted on July 9, 2020 by Nicholas Hayduk

In this series of blog posts, I’m looking at the ways to enable an asynchronous conversation between Dynamics/Power Apps users and portals users. The two most common techniques I see use Entity/Web Form Metadata – either the Notes or Timeline metadata option. This post covers a comparison between the two.
