Dev Environments Dataverse

Did you recently see the update from Power CAT announcing the 3 dev environments pr user?!?! The topic of more than one dev environment has been discussed in several forums over the last years, but finally, it is here. Go check out the video on YouTube about the details:

In short a few key takeaways:

  1. 3 Dev environments PR user
  2. 2 GB of data pr environment (does not count against storage)
  3. Premium Connectors included for testing
  4. ALM setup for getting to know solution management better
  5. Automatic cleanup of environments over time (if inactive).
  6. Ability to create dev environments from https://make.powerapps.com

make.powerapps.com

Or should I say https://make.preview.powerapps.com <- for now:) Depending on when it will be released to everyone, the ability to add environments from make.powerapps portal is not yet rolled out. Go to the PREVIEW make, and you should be able to see it there. This is important for users without access to the admin.powerplatform.com.

Go ahead and try it out and see where the limitations are. The important part here is to learn new things by trying them out. Enjoy!

Custom Page – Opportunity Close Solution Download

Initially, I was just going to explore some possibilities with Custom Pages, but decided to make a solution out of it instead. This way you can just download the solution and do the required modifications for your project (GIPHY API key), and you are good to go😁

I am really excited to hear your feedback after seeing/trying this out, and hopefully, I will be able to make it a lot better in next revisions of the Custom Page!

Go to my GitHub to get a hold of the solution. It’s a pretty “thin” solution that should be easy to configure and easy to delete if you no longer need it.

I have also included a video displaying how you install and use the solution

Installation and setup

Because of ribbon changes, I was forced to create a managed solution for this. The only way it wouldn’t overwrite the current opportunity ribbon.

If you want to play around with the solution, download the unmanaged. Just make sure you don’t have any other ribbon customizations on Opportunity. If you do back it up first!!

For everyone else, you have to download the managed solution to be on the safe side.

On my Gihub page I have written what components get installed, so you can easily remove it all at a later point in time.
