It would be great if as an admin I could login as another user in order to troubleshoot issues that arise. Instead of having to waste a license for my test user so I can change the test users security roles to mimmick that of the individual having issues.

As this is designed for ENTERPRISE, printing from the within the APPS will make PowerApps superior to Excel and even ERP / SAP system. If ONENOTE can be accomplished (for printing) after our request, why not PowerApps. Anonymous shared this idea · February 01, 2016

A very common request from customers is to find records WITHOUT a certain related record. Today I need to make a custom report for that. I think it would be great to be able to create views etc based on NOT IN statements in an advanced find. That could easily be used for customers to set up even more dynamics marketing lists too.

It is really a strong requirement to have a feature for an "autonumbering" - field...there are solutions out there in the wild, but it would be very nice to have this feature out-of-the-box in Crm.

When you place a field on a form that has a long name, the name of the field fades. In CRM 2011, the field name would wrap. Fading causes some of the important content to not be visible. It would be more desirable to have the full field name visible via the old behavior of wrapping than to fade it. This would also allow for better future protection of moving to a more responsive web design that could accommodate more varied screen resolutions (and different devices) The best practice would be to shorten the field names, or change the field label width in the section to accommodate long fields, and those are the current workarounds.

MS Dynamics CRM has a few entities where it offers this functionality (for example customer on opportunity, partylist on email, regarding on activities). It would be particularly handy if we could define these ourselves for use on any custom or system entity. For example define a lookup on a custom entity which can contain multiple record types (like customer works) or define a party list on a custom entity and have it contain any system or custom record type (in line of how to/from works on email).

It would be nice to be able to create a SharePoint list PowerApps Custom Form in one site or list (e.g. development) and then be able to move it to another site or list (e,g, production). This would help with development and teting of new and updated forms before they are released to the production. This could also help with the reuse of form designs, so a person isn't always recreating the wheel.

It would be nice if I can add a command to a button via which i can choose a predefined field value (in a screen) and copy its content to Clipboard. In PowerApps for mobile, this becomes a must.

When I was working in 3.0 for a customer, I created a multi select picklist using the inbuilt options from Dynamics CRM. If I could do this then I believe MS can build it and help a lot of customers. In the advanced find for any status, optionset field in the filter criteriea, we get a multi select picklist. We can move values around in that and it displays the multiselected values as well. I have used this same window and a couple of XML strings to create a similar field on a Form. The XML strings store the Values in my case. This solution would certainly help a lot of customers and enhances the CRM product as well. The customers I speak to say that it is available in other products and why not here. I see that there is a possiblity and hope you can release it.

I'd like to be able to use a control like the Add Picture button, but for Files of any type. The control would open up a file picker, I could select the file and then I can upload the same as content from Add Picture. For example, my current need is to attach a document (doc, ppt, pdf, etc) to an Annotation to a Case in Dynamics 365.

dnaedwards · ‎02-04-2019

Please consider adding the ability to designate the default entity for lookup fields like Potential Customer on the Opportunity. We have several implementations where we might use the Account or Contact entity but not both. Additionally, clients might want to require or prefer a particular entity over another and want the lookup field to, at a minimum, default to the desired entity type. I've had two client requests in the past week alone for this feature. Thank you,

For me, exporting a form, or gallery to a PDF would be even more helpful than printing and still allow me to print a final "report" from a form or gallery.

Hi everyone, The new JSON function in PowerApps is great and we have been using it extensively. Another great addition would be to parse JSON directly in PowerApps. If PowerApps receives a stringified JSON string, it should be able to easily Parse this and use this data in the app, to write it into a collection, variable or whatever. We have been using the HTTP response in flow to return dynamic data to PowerApps, but seeing that this is now longer included in the Office 365 entitlement and that normal Respond To PowerApps Flow action not supporting Arrays or JSON, this request is quite urgent. Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.

It seams that you can let your organisation use the app, but I would love that users outside my domain also could get and use the app. That might be some of our customers f.i., so "Send invite" through email would be great! Terje Førsund shared this idea · December 10, 2015

I think it would be great to make photos captured in the PowerApp Camera control be submitted to SharePoint List.

My suggestion is that CRM training materials should be free for anyone to download. Partners are expected to purchase a Microsoft Dynamics Partner Foundation or Advantage Service Plan in order to access several benefits including access to the Dynamics CRM 4.0 and 2011 training guides. The Dynamics service plans are most popular with larger partners who are committed to Dynamics CRM. The service plans are less popular with new and small partners who are still building their committment. This means that the CRM professionals who need the most training (those who work for new and smaller partners) do not have access to training material, while those who are most likely to be certified already (those who work for Silver and Gold CRM certified partners) do have access to the training. Well-training, certified CRM professionals perform better CRM implementations. It's in everyone's interests -- Microsoft, partners and customers -- to ensure that Microsoft Dynamics CRM has more well-training, certified CRM professionals available than competing systems. Microsoft will have happier customers, larger market share and greater software licensing revenues by providing free training materials to its customers and partners than it will by attempting to turn training requirements into a source of revenue. Salesforce.com, for example, provide administrator training guides at no charge for anyone to download from their website: http://www.salesforce.com/assets/pdf/misc/SG_CertifiedAdmin.pdf. The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 training course materials were free for any customer or partner to download and study. However, the policy changed with the release of CRM 4.0 and hasn't reverted with the release of CRM 2011. It should!

Problem: One of the biggest issues in PowerApps right now is that we cannot protect our data. If we connect any data source to PowerApps (Excel, SharePoint List, SQL Server Connection) it has to be shared with all users for them to be able to use the app. This creates a problem where user has access directly to data source and can bypass the app to do direct modifications to the data source as well as see information not meant to be seen by them. If your app was built to limit users access to some data, for example: Showing users only their vacation requests and hiding other user vacations Showing user only their travel request and hiding other user travels That means that all users can see all data as well as they can modify it without any trace. In case of Excel file on OneDrive we need to give users access to this file, that means that user can just go on OneDrive and find the excel file and edit it. In case of SharePoint List, that means that user needs to have Edit rights to that list and can just find it on the SharePoint Site and go in and edit. In case of SQL Server Connection, that means that user can open PowerApps, click create new app, open Data Sources and the shared SQL connection will be there and he can connect to it. This will allow the user to see all tables in that SQL connection with edit rights. Idea: I believe the best way to fix it, and this will allow PowerApps to become truly powerful tool to replace most of organization applications is to give the App itself write rights to the Excel sheets, SharePoint lists or SQL Connection and not the user. This way the user will have no access to the files, SharePoint List or SQL Connection and the only way to interact with data will be through the App.

Please consider adding a feature to get to the appended comment history from a sharpoint list comment filed with append and versioning turned on to appear in a power app card? https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Forum/Append-comments-Field/m-p/34968#M14383

Migrated_User · ‎04-26-2016

On making the connection, I only see Tables, not Queries. This cannot be workable as Tables usually have many IDs and IDs are meaningless, Connection to Queries is a must: same as Excel and Power BI. Yahya shared this idea · March 21, 2016 ·
