On December 4th, 2020, Microsoft will start transitioning customers across to the new Unified Interface (UI), if you haven’t done so already. I hope this news does not come as a surprise to you, if it has, please read this blog post to find out more.
As we close out my blog series on exam MB-400, I thought it might be useful to compile all previous posts together into a single location. So if you've been following along or are joining for the first time, I hope this post is useful.
Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) controls are a new, shiny, thing that Power Platform / Dynamics 365 developers can work with. They are also a subject area within Microsoft exam MB-400. Therefore, in my next post on my series targeting this exam, let’s see how they work.
It's taken seven posts into my MB-400 developer's exam series for us to start talking about our first code related topic, client-side scripting using JavaScript or TypeScript. And, as we'll see, this is something you should only really resort to after thoroughly exhausting the capabilities within Business Rules…
Dynamics 365 and Power Platform developers should always use Business Rules over JavaScript / TypeScript form functions. Full stop. However, there are situations where the native capabilities within Business Rules are not up to scratch, such as when you start working with multi-select option set fields…
Feature deprecations can often cause some degree of disruption, especially if they involve custom code. Microsoft has recently deprecated the Xrm.Page object for JScript form functions in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement. Find out more about this change and what you will need to do to fix this as part of this week's blog post.
This is an accompanying blog post to my YouTube video Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Deep Dive: Creating a Basic Jscript Form Function, the first in a series that aims to provide tutorials on how to accomplish developer focused tasks within Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement. You can watch the video in full below: https://youtu.be/smZyMwQjgpM Below you will [...]
When working with form-level JScript functionality on Dynamics CRM/Dynamics 365 for Enterprise (D365E), you often uncover some interesting pieces of exposed functionality that can be utilised neatly for a specific business scenario. I did a blog post last year on arguably one of the best of these functions when working with Lookup field controls - [...]
The ability to modify the values within Option Set fields on a Dynamics CRM/Dynamics 365 for Enterprise (D365E) form is, depending on your business scenario, one of the best reasons to learn how to write basic JScript form functions. Microsoft makes available 3 methods via the Xrm.Page.ui control (which can be handily shortcutted to Xrm.Page.getControl): addOption [...]
One of the nice things about working with lookup fields on entity forms is the ability to filter the results programmatically via a form level JScript function. The steps for doing this, thankfully, are rather straightforward: Prepare a FetchXML filter snippet that applies the type of filtering you want to perform. This can either be [...]
