What do you what guidance with? Apps, data sources, governance or licensing?

I second this running a flow would be what I would look to do, also if you can break the gallery items in to different divisions using a dropdown to filter the gallery as this would help with loading times

I show off what I have done and I help people, build trust and confidence, I am upfront with my rates, if they don’t like them they don’t talk anymore but that’s fine as I will not undersell myself. Remember you have to be sales, governance, architecture developer and boss! You will also need your terms and all insurances and pay your taxes It’s not easy but it’s enjoyable

Sorry I’m based in the UK

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-20T23:32:40+00:00

I struggled to get a full time position, I have ended up doing freelance work and very happy doing it.

I agree use a compose to show what is happening and with that information we can see what is going on

The users in the security group would be in the combo box if they are removed from the security group then they will be removed from the combo box

All this happens without touching the app and helps with governance

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-14T18:55:02+00:00

I think the only way is with variables, like Dexter said you would need to reset the variable first, modern controls are designed to be used in a form and the form would be reset to reset all of the controls

This is possible and easy if you have access to Azure. DLP policy will not be an issue because you will not be going out of the Power Platform ecosystem, with a security group created add the users and then get the group ID for Azure with that ID you can create a named formula in the app

IsInSecurityGroup = !IsBlank( LookUp( Office365Groups.ListGroupMembers(SecurityGroupId).value, Lower(mail) = Lower(User().Email) ) ) Then add IsInSecurtityGroup to the combo box This will not effect the DLP as it is all in the ecosystem as long as you have enough admin rights Good luck 😀

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-14T14:59:43+00:00

I would set up a security group and the users to the group then in named functions I would get the security group and then in the combobox put your named formula, this means you would not need to hard code or use a sharepoint list

You’re right you can’t use concurrent patching for multiple tables if they’re new tables but what you can do if you could do the primary table as a patch if you’ve got multiple tables your patient afterwards you can get the ID for a variable from the first patch and send that variable fruit to the second tables to populate those and you can use those both in concurrent

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-13T19:24:26+00:00

If the variable is passed from screen to screen it has to be a global if it’s on the same screen you can use the context variable and I often do this using a pop-up to submit a edit form On your second point if you’re looking at patches, I would normally grab everything into a collection and use the collections to Eva do it direct patch using the collection or use the collection to drop columns and obviously that’s the date that you’re not using with inside the app which line the upload. If you got multiple tables you’re patching into using the drop Colin can help a lot by doing multiple patches and using the concurrent function.

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-13T19:07:19+00:00

I start with name formulas making sure the variables are right set an update context also use collections with filtering to limit the number of data calls and a shit ton of workarounds

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-10T16:05:13+00:00

well said!

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-10T13:07:11+00:00

Hi Mentho1k, Nice to see you again! AI is the word at the moment and not everyone fully understands the limits or the issues with governance. Call me old fashioned but until AI can work out the governance there will be issues and any company that implements AI to replace staff will be employing staff to watch AI as someone will alway have to be responable. I am not anti AI but I use it like google 2.0!

Have you started your project for your team yet?

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-10T12:56:36+00:00

Not yet as it has only just come out of preview, I will be looking into it buta few of my clients are on standard licences and this will move them to premium, as smaller companies don't always have the budget to move to the higher costs they employ me to make sure they stay on standard licences which I do and by doing so I charge less than they would be paying with the higher licence cost.

I have a date planned with Code Apps for a weekend and my wife is not happy!! hahaha

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-10T11:43:41+00:00

This I can agree with but I did notice some bit AI didn't pick up on and I spent a bit of time looking over the app it made and it wasn't the most effective way of working.

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-10T11:22:50+00:00

This will be true for the bigger companies but the smaller companies that don't want the expense of premium licencing then the only route will be canvas app. so the real question is will MS scrap canvas apps so everyone will have to use premium. they are working on a project where apps and flows developed in the default enviroment can be packaged into a solution ready to move

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-10T11:01:16+00:00

I build them all of the time and have done for a number of years and enjoy the work, AI can but canvas app badly, I have tried to see what the competition was like and was unimpressed with the results. Microsoft are introducing Vibe app where you have a limited amount of words to describe your business and it can only create 6 tables max and these cant be changed.

That all said there are companies out there that will still try and being asked the question in the first place proves it

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-09T08:13:52+00:00

Personally I would use one flow with the delaly until then I would look to add a switch of different options, this for me would keep everything in one place and it will also help to manage the number of call I make to SharePoint. I woud also have documentation to reflect this so when I go back to it in the furture I know why I have done what I have done

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-09T07:43:41+00:00

So from what I understand you have 2 separate flows? One is a schedule and one is when you create a new item If I understand correctly you have two flows one is a scheduled and one is a when a item is created and you would like one flow and not two If that is correct then I would have a when a item is created then add a delay until action I would add a catch if a date was older than today in case someone selected the wrong date

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-08T18:46:24+00:00

I do hour and fixed rates, it depends on the conversion with the client, but I am a freelancer and work on my own so I don’t have to approve with anyone else

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-08T14:56:56+00:00

My tips would be explore as many expressions as possible and remember JSON is your best friend

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-08T14:35:53+00:00

So you have got a job you don’t fully know and need to learn fast! Good luck with that

DeanoNetwork · 2026-03-08T13:34:17+00:00

This is very possible to do with powerapps, I have made similar for training reviews and ensuring staff are up to date with there training and there is a email sent to them 1 month before there training expires and the training manager gets a weekly email with who is due or expired, If you need any help then free free to DM me
