In this blog, we will implement the following validation on our Sign Up Form in PowerApps: Disable Sign Up button if any invalid input is present in Form. Change Border or Fill Color Input which is invalid. Before moving forward please check out my previous blog because this blog is a continuation of my previous blog. Click Here Disable Sign Up button if any invalid input is present in Form Select the Sign-Up button in the form. 2. Select the property DisplayMode so that we can change Display Mode to disable if any invalid input is entered on Form 3. Add the following to in DisplayMode Formula Bar If(ErrorText.HtmlText = “”,Edit,Disabled) It means that when Error Text is empty it will enable the submit button or else it will disable it. Change Border or Fill Color Input which is invalid. Now we will add function in Fill and border to input if that input is Invalid. Email Input Select the Email Input and choice BorderColor Property. 2. Now, In BorderColor we will add the following code in the formula bar, so if Email Input is invalid or not in the format it will change the border color of input to red or you can add whatever color you want. 3. Code : 4. You can see in the following screenshot when an email is invalid or empty then the input border is red. Password and Confirm Password Input Password and Confirm Password Input 2.

Introduction: In this blog, we will see how we can delete any of the TFS workspace which is assigned to different user Even if tried to remove/delete the workspace from Visual Studio, We’re unable to map existing workspace to new user.   In such scenario, It is necessary to delete the workspace explicitly while getting the error as below  “The working folder ‘Workspace_Folder_Local_Path’ is already in use by the workspace : on computer Solution:  1. Open Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 from Start menu 2. For getting the list of workspaces associated with user, run below command tf workspaces /server:https://{TFS}.visualstudio.com/{CollectionName} /owner:”{Owner}” Explanation, in my case {TFS} is xxxx.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection and {Owner} as Jagdish Solanki, Eventually it will look something like this, tf workspaces /server:https://xxxx.visualstudio.com/{CollectionName} /owner:”Jagdish Solanki” Reference: 3. To delete the workspace, run below command  tf workspace /server:https://{TFS}.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection /delete “{Workspace};{Owner}” It will looks something like this, tf workspace /server:https://xxxx.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection /delete “SCM-DEV-1;Jagdish Solanki” Once the above command is executed, system will prompt you if user has any pending change(s). Are you sure want to delete the workspace? (Yes/No). Enter yes Reference:

While viewing reports in Power BI service/ Power BI Desktop, Power BI provides a feature to eliminate the filter pane completely in order to provide a professional look. Here are the ways to Hiding Filter Pane in Power BI reports. 1.Show/Hide the filter pane from report readers. By default, the Filters pane is visible to the end-users. If we don’t want them to see it, we can select the eye icon next to Filters and hide it. 2. Turning on/off the filters from Settings. Steps: Open the Power BI Report in the desired workspace and go to the content section. Select More options (…), then select Settings for that report. Go to the Filtering Experience and disable both the options to hide the filter pane. 3. Showing the desired filters in a user-friendly manner: We can select the filters which we want to display to the end-user depending on the users requirement. Hover-over the filter icon on the right-hand corner to view the read-only filters. Whichever filter we do not want to display to the user, we can hide them in the filter section of the report. Hope this helps!

One of the major pet-peeve is not understanding why the code isn’t working. And you for sure know you’ve written the correct code. But, thing just don’t work. One such tricky situation is that of applying custom filter to fields using JavaScript in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement apps. Scenario Let’s say you have a custom filter to be applied to a field and you’ve written your JS code on Load to apply the filter and everything (you know what you need to do!) Example: But the above is just not working. Why??? Reason The reason is pretty simple! Because, the Lookup field is still using the one set on the field itself. Check that – The above should be turned off to make your code work since the field’s default OOB filtering takes precedence. And now, your code should work (Provided everything in it correct) Hope this quick tip helps!

The BYOD feature for the Dynamics 365 for finance and Operations was release in 2016, it’s provide feature for the customer to bring their own Azure SQL Database, but the drawback through this was Entity Store only accessible for the inbuilt data warehouse only which means it is not accessible to outside D365. The new feature for the Data Lake Gen2 makes the Entity Store get Sync with Data Lake. Following are the steps to setup the environment. Let’s create the Storage Account for the Data Lake Gen2 Click on the Create Resource and search for Storage accounts and go to the Storage Account and click on Add. Choose the Subscription and Resource group, resource group is the container that holds the resource. Here, we are creating the new resource for our Data Lake. Make sure you select the Location same as your Power BI dataset environment and set the other option as shown below. Once storage account gets created, we can access it from the resource group open the storage account Now let’s take a copy of the connection string since it will be required later, the connection string can be access by going to setting under the storage account. Let’s create the Key vault resource to store the secret and create the secret for the connection string. Secret can be created by going to the key vault by going to the Key under the Settings tab, click on the generate the key. We are creating the secret for the connection string that we have copied earlier, set the value for the connection string as the key that we have copied and click on the create. Once we have created the app secret for the connection the next step is to authorize the user and resource to the request. Here we are going to register app for the authorization of the D365FO environment. To register the app, go to the Azure Active Directory and Select the app registration and click on the new registration. Fill the application name of your choice and redirect URI is set to WEB and select the D365 environment URI as shown below. Once we register the app the next step is to grant the API permission as a part of consent process. Grant all the permission that application should require. From Azure Key Vault select the Permission as user_impersonation which provide full access to Azure Key Vault service. The next step is to create client secret and make sure to note down the value of the app generated since we are going to use that in the D365FO environment. Next is to add the D365FO in access policy list and select the Key and Secret permission to Get and List from the drop down. Once we have added D365FO in access policy list the next step is to add the Application ID and Application Secret of Azure Key Vault in Data connection in D365FO environment, which can be access by going to Module > System administration > Setup > System parameters > Data connections tab. Note:- Make sure if data connection tab is not visible to you which means you are missing some configuration setting during environment setup, to make the data connection tab available we need to check the Value of CDSAMaster in SQL Studio Management Studio. Open SSMS go to the AxDW database and check the value in SYSFLIGHTING for CDSAMaster if not present then insert the value in table. SELECT * FROM SYSFLIGHTING  /*To check the Flightname values*/ INSERT INTO SYSFLIGHTING VALUES (‘CDSAMaster’,1,12719367,5637144576,5637144589,1) /*     CDSAMaster FlightName     1 Enabled     12719367 FlightserviceID     5637144576 Partition     5637144589 RecID     1 Recversion */ Before Update After Updating Once Data connections is added fill the Application ID, Application Secret, DNS name and connection secret name as shown below and make sure to enable the Data Lake Integration. Test the Azure Key Vault and Azure Storage. Note:- If you are getting error 401 which means Azure user in which data lake is hosted has no access to D365FO environment in that case you need to import the user in environment and assign role as Administrator. Create Reports using Azure Data Lake Gen2 Once done with above steps the next step is to configure the storage account, following are the requirement for the Power BI. The storage account must be created in the same AAD tenant as your Power BI tenant. The storage account must be created in the same region as your Power BI tenant. The storage account must have the Hierarchical Name Space feature enabled (Make sure to enable this at time of storage account creation) Power BI service must be granted a Reader role on the storage account. You must have a Global Administrator account, this account is required to connect and configure Power BI to store the dataflow definition, and data, in your Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account  As we have created storage account previously lets, grant the Reader role to the storage account, in Azure portal Go to the Storage account > Access control > Role Assignments then click on Add role. Once we assign role to the Storage Account the next step is to Assign the directory level permission to the Storage that we have created. Here we are granting Power BI permission to the file system. We need to get the collection of IDs of the Power BI. Which can get by navigating to the AAD > Enterprise Application > All Application, copy the Object IDs of the Power BI Premium, Power BI Service and Power Query Online. For each Power BI Object that we have collected in previous steps grant the below access for each of the object. Once we granted the access to the storage the next step is to connect your Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 to Power BI Go to your Power BI service > Click on Admin portal navigate to Dataflow settings then Select the Connect your Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 button. The following … Continue reading Develop D365 Finance, SCM and Retail Reports using Azure Data Lake Gen2 →
