How to – Check user’s access to a record – upcoming feature in Dynamics 365

Was going through the Model-Driven Apps documentation and found the below article

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/user/access-checker

It talks about a Check access button on the command bar of a record which will list down all the rights/access/privileges on that particular record.

And also how the user has got those accesses, through security roles directly assigned or through the team the user belongs.

We can also check the access of the other users as well through user lookup.

How to trigger Power Automate flows from Model-Driven Power App Business Process Flows (and get a response!)

The ReadyXRM Blog by Nick Doelman

I was working on a project the other day and the requirement was for a user of a Model-driven Power App to go through a series of steps to approve an application with a number of data points. I am not the biggest fan of Business Process Flows, (BPFs) but I felt that it did fit this particular use case.

One of the improvements of Business Process Flows in recent years is the ability to run an “Action Steps“. You add an Action Step to your stage and trigger either an Action or a classic Dataverse Workflow. In this case, if the organization submitting the application did not yet exist in Dataverse, the users could run a Workflow to create the Account record (and the workflow could update the application record Account lookup).

Fixed – Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete – Windows 10

Hi all, sharing the recent experience with the below error

A couple of days back my laptop, unfortunately, got slipped from my hand, and then on starting the laptop gave the below messages

“Preparing automatic repair.” then
“Diagnosing your PC.” then
“Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete.”

After waiting for almost 6 hours, the message was still the same.

Another error that I got performing the Hard drive self-test from BIOS was

“Hard Disk Short DST: Failed”

Restarting and trying the below Advanced Options also didn’t work

There was no restore point found, the factory reset also failed.

Reset continued till 30 % and then rolled back.

Running in safe mode brought the same Repairing disk error message.

Running check disk command

chkdsk c: /r and /f displayed

File record segment is an unreadable error.

The only option left was to take it to the local repair shop who checked the health of the disk which was showing around 57 %.

The only fix that worked here was a clean install of Windows 10 and considering the health of the disk eventually replaced the disk as well. (HDD with SDD)

Hope it helps..

Personalize the Experience with Voice of the Customer – Part 2

Virendra Agrawal's Blog

Previously (Part 1), we talked about how we could include that piped data in our survey by adding those options as we are designing the questions.

Now it’s time to distribute that survey and consume that piped data we defined earlier, we’ll declare that piped data as parameters inside the distribution method through the invite that we are working with.
