I recently had a request to demonstrate how to toggle tab visibility based on the value of an entity property, Item, in a Model-Driven App. To complete the ask I used JavaScript and wired it up to the Model-Driven App form events, specifically On Load and On Change events. Try it in your own environment…
I recently created a Canvas App that uses the SQL Server Connector. I went back and forth with deploying the Solution, which contained the Canvas App and the Connection Reference, from my DEV environment to my TEST environment. I made sure that my Canvas App used my Connection Reference, by removing the SQL Data connection…
Let’s say you have a Dataverse record that you want to do some things to post creation, for example, maybe you have special requirements for generating a value for the Primary Name column or need to add records to another Dataverse table, and so on.

I wanted to create an example of Model-Driven App view where a user could set the value of a Yes/No Choice, which would in turn, toggle the visibility of a specific section within the view. I created a Solution. From my solution, I created a Table in the Dataverse, called Sample 3 – Items. The…
I was asked to create a sample Canvas App that made use of the Smartsheet Connector. I created a Smartsheet account, and created a sheet call Star Wars Characters. I created two flows, one to get the columns and another to get the rows. Now, I realized I could have done this in a single…
If you are a Citizen Developer, don’t let the title of this article discourage you! We are going to look at some code, but not terribly difficult code! It is code you could write or have a traditional developer write for you. A customer was migrating and Access database and was asking how to mimic…
