Improved search experience in Dynamics 365 / PowerApps


To enable the new search experience, we need to turn on the relevance search on that environment.

Login to the admin portal and environments section

https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/environments

Navigate to Settings -> Features and turn on the Relevance Search


This places the search bar in the header, making it easy to access while navigating across different pages.

With Relevance search turned off à

On clicking the search icon à we are navigated to the categorized search page.

The search result for the term “alex” with Relevance Search on–

Even before we can enter our query in the search box, the search box displays the recent terms (seems like max 3) used for search along with recent records (seems like max 6) accessed.

Provides increment search or real-time suggestions while we are tying the search term

Migration of Personal views/charts/dashboards with sharing information


Interesting read ..

Phani Rajasekhar's avatarPhani Rajasekhar

In my previous blog I explained the issues that I faced while POA entity migration. Here I will explain the whole process that I followed to migrate the personal views with sharing information. I used kingsway soft adapter for my migration process.

We have 2 steps to migrate the data

  1. Source CRM –> Intermediate database.
    1. I enabled “Data Export Services” on the source instance to push the data into intermediate database.
    2. Since “userquery” entity is not available in “Data Export Services”, I Designed a simple SSIS Package with source (Dynamics CRM) and destination (OLE DB) components.
    3. We have to impersonate the owner of the personal view in the Dynamics CRM Source component to read this information.
    4. So we have to run this package multiple times based on the user count.

  1. Intermediate database –> Target CRM
    1. Designed 2 more SSIS Packages to push “userquery” and “principalobjectaccess” (share) information to Target CRM…

Application User Form missing in Dynamics 365


Recently while trying to create a new application user, we could not find the application user form for the system user entity in the web application.

Within the maker portal, we can see the form available and enabled for everyone.

It was inside our classic administration settings; we saw it listed as Inactive Forms

Activating and publishing the solution fixed the issue.

Hope it helps..

D365: “The user is not a member of the organization” error while connecting to CE


Ajit Patra's avatarAjit Patra

Recently, we were working on connecting to CE to do some CRUD operation using Azure function. We were using Client ID(Application ID) and Client Secret of the app registered on Azure Active Directory.

We had provided the necessary API(Dynamics CRM) Permission (delegated “user_impersonation”) to the app.

While running the Azure function, we were getting the error message “The user is not a member of the organization” when we were connecting to CE.

After investigating the issue for some time, we found that we had missed one important step of creating Application User back in CE with the Application ID(Client ID) of the app.

Creating the Application User with the Application ID(Client ID) fixed the issue.

Hope it helps !!
