Power Apps Portal allows us multiple ways to authenticate users, users can login either by using a User ID and Password for local login or using SSO logins like Azure AD, etc.  Users can also register themself through the portal, when a user registers from the portal this creates a new contact with the user’s details and email ID in CRM.  But what if the contact already exists in your system? To map the registered portal user with this existing contact instead of creating a new contact we need to enable/add a site setting.  Site Setting –  Authentication/[Protocol]/[Provider]/AllowContactMappingWithEmail  More on Protocol & Provider – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/portals/configure/configure-portal-authentication  For Azure AD login which is provided by default, you can use the Site Setting – Authentication/OpenIdConnect/AzureAD/AllowContactMappingWithEmail  Reference Microsoft Document – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/portals/configure/configure-site-settings#portal-site-settings  I hope this helps 😉 ! 

Introduction Let’s say you come across a scenario where you want to show dynamic records for your gallery items based on previous record details. For example: Let’s say a basic Q&A where the User should input data and then proceed.So, I have created something similar that will help in developing such a design quickly and efficiently. Steps to implement in Canvas PowerApps Step 1: Create a collection that will store data of the gallery. (You can use Dataverse records here with the unique identifier in the collection.) Note: Collection is better to use if you are referring to the same table. If you use Gallery.AllItems then you will encounter errors and circular reference issues. Set a Blank Vertical Gallery where Items property is as follows: Step 2: Add a Text Input in Gallery that will accept the User’s Input Along with Questions. Conclusion That’s all. You got dynamic content based on previous values. I hope this helps!

In this blog, I am going to show how we can create a collapsing and retracting gallery control in Canvas Power app. Let’s start making this into our Canvas PowerApps Step 1: Insert a Flexible Height Gallery on the screen. For the current example, I’m using a table of User details. Items property of Gallery Step 2: Adding a ‘button’ which is stay visible all time and a ‘Container’ which will only be visible when that specific record is selected. Step 3: Adding variables to store information of selected record unique ID. OnSelect property of Button, Visible property of Container, Step 4: Modify as you like, I’ve added color indication which record is selected. That’s all, We have finally created the collapsible Gallery control in Power App. Hope this helps!!

Hi Everyone, If you are using Custom Pages in your Model Driven App and would like to have multiple languages as per User’s Personal settings? Here’s a quick helpful method for Custom Pages Step 1: Let’s start by creating a Custom Page Go to PowerApps Maker Studio, in your selected environment outside or inside a solution. Add new Custom Page Step 2: Fill your app as per requirement. I’ll just keep it basic. Note: OOTB Tables/Entities will show translated values except custom text/tooltip/custom tables, etc. Below, for my custom Title Label. I have used Language() function to detect the User’s language set in Personal Settings applied on Browser Level. Step 3: Save, Add and Publish the Page on Site Map (Edit in Preview) section. Reload your Model Driven App to see the effect User’s Language set as English User’s Language set as Spanish Select Spanish in Personal Settings That’s how simple it is to set Language in your Custom Page. Note: If you are working with Custom Entities, BPFs you need to add translation for the Language in Data verse manually. Please follow the steps mentioned in this Blog: Enable language translation on Custom solutions in Dynamics CRM. Hope this helps 🙂

Hi Everyone, Consider a scenario where we want to filter out a dropdown/combo-box choice field based on value in other field or dropdown.Since we cannot use scripts in Canvas App, here’s how we can show specific choice based on multiple values For this example, I’ve considered a bunch of basic items belonging to Fruits, Vegetables and Dairy products. For example purpose I’ll be creating a collection of values to representation. This step will be avoided for choices field within a table/entity.Below is the ‘Master Record’ of collection. Step 1: Create an indexed collection. (referring to MasterList in this example) Step 2: Let’s say we would like to classify the Master List into 3 categories (Fruits, Vegetables and Dairy). In this example, I’ll be using a dropdown list for which the main dropdown field is required to filter data. I’ll be adding a hidden button, containing the following code Based on the above code,Type 1 refers to “Fruits”, Type 2 refers to “Vegetables” and Type 3 refers to “Dairy” Step 3: Added dropdown which will hold classification values. Step 4: The main dropdown choice field which will be filtered based on categories mentioned by above dropdown. That’s it. We have successfully implemented the dynamic choice list as per values dependent on other field. Hope this helps you.

Hi Everyone, Isn’t it annoying that you have a text field in your Canvas App which holds a huge information to fit in a small space?There’s a quick solution which you can use to show a mini pop-up by an out-of-the-box feature. Let’s consider an example of where we have a paragraph in a text field then we have output is to be displayed with a limited height and width on the screen. Fig 1: This is a TextInput control where we have a detailed information.Fig 2: This is a normal label/text field control which has limited height and width. (Especially in scenarios like gallery records)Fig 3: This is a ComboBox control with DisplayMode set to View and the DefaultSelectedItems property is set as [TextInput.Text]We can see that when having more data, we can click more and see the entire information.
