Unblock IP Address and Power Platform URLS ranges

Hello Everyone,

Today i am going to share quick link for the IP address and Power Platform URL’s to unblock.

Sometimes you are not allowed to login into Dynamics 365 Environments, or Power Platform.

With the Microsoft Doc from Microsoft you can see all the related:

1. URLs for Power Platform services

2. URLs for Dynamics 365 services

3.IP addresses required

4. Ports

Here is the Link

I hope this helps.

Coauthoring in Dynamics 365 Model Driven Apps

Hello Everyone,

Today i am going to show the preview features related to Model Diven App Coauthoring.

What is Coauthoring?

Coauthoring means allowing multiple users either it may be developers, makers or citizen developers to make changes to particular App at the same time.

This will result in cooperation between the development team and maximize low code development.

What you do with Coauthoring in an app?

You can add and remove components like tables, dashboards, and custom pages to and from the model driven app.

Also views, forms, and charts, to and from the tables in model driven app.

You can add and remove areas, groups and subareas to and from the navigation bar in the model driven app.

Change prorperties of the model driven app.

Change properties of the navigation pane.

Change Properties of areas, groups and subareas in the navigation pane, including Display Options and Advanced settings.

Change order of the areas, groups and subareas in the navigation pane.

Change General Features and Upcoming tabs in the settings dialog.

How to enable coauthoring in your environment?

1. Login into PPAC

2. Select the environment and then settings:

3. Enable coauthoring by toggling the button to “ON”

4. Disable coauthoring by toggling the button to “OFF”(If you don’t want to see the coauthoring feature)

How we can check whether someone is working on same tables, or navigation etc..

If the users are making changes to the components, you can see that someone is working on the components.

If someone is adding or removing a page, all other makers can see it appearing on the left navigation bar with sparkle symbol on the navigation bar in real time.

Limitations:

1. There is no auto save functionality, so if someone is making changes they need to save manually by selecting the save button, also you save changes for other users if they haven’t saved the changes.

2. Under Settings, changes to the Features and Upcoming sections must be saved from the dialog in order to be set. Users that don’t see the changes immediately can close and open the settings to see the most up to date settings.

3. Changes made in other designer such as view and form designers won’t be sychronized in real time on the modern app designer.

Thats it for today.

I hope this helps.

{How to} update Dynamics 365 Apps in an Environment Power Platform Admin Center

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to show how to update Dynamics 365 Apps from Power Platform Admin Center.

For example: You don’t see some of the Dynamics 365 new features in your environment, its because the updates are no updated in the particular environment.

So in order to see new features some of them will come with App updates, hence we need to update the Model Driven Apps.

How do you do that?

Login into Power Platform Admin Center

Select the environment and click on “… ” and “Resources and” “Dynamics 365 Apps”

In my use case i am installing updates for Dynamics 365 Sales

You can also check which version of Model Driven App is currently installed before you make updates to the App here:

Click on updates :

We need to accept Microsoft terms and conditions before make update :

and confirm.

See the App update is in progress:

It may take 2hr to complete the update and check back after sometime and your Dynamics 365 App is installled with updates.

That’s it for today.

I hope this helps.

{How to} Create an Preview environment for free to test Preview Features on Power Apps

Hello Everyone,

Today i am going to share new feature where we can create a new environment which is completely free of cost.

How do you do that?

Lets see that in action.

I was exploring new features using preview url: make.preview.powerapps.com

Make sure you turn ON the “Try the new Power Apps”, refer to the below screenshot.

Now you want to create new environment for free to test the latest features now as Microsoft releases very often.

We can access preview features in 2 ways.

1. Preview environments: Upcoming changes are rolled out to preview environments 1-2 weeks before they’re available to all other regions.

2. Sandbox environments: If you already have sandbox environment in your organisation then simple access the following url: www.make.preview.powerapps.com

PREVIEW ENVIRONMENT:

So if you want to create Preview environment then you need to click on your environment

Then Try it now appears on the page, refer to the above screen shot.

Its completely free you can create and test apps in your environment, with full featured Power Apps development tools, premium connectors, and Dataverse.

Click on Try it now, then a new page will appear.

Then

Enter : Environment name and select the “region” carefully as the PREVIEW features first available in USA region so you need to select the “Preview(United States)” as your region and “Accept” the changes.

Note: Once you select the region and accepted it can’t be rollback to any other region, so select which region you want to be inn.

Thats it for today.

I hope this helps.
