When we build apps (or applications before them), we often build different behaviors or capabilities based on the role of the current user. For example, when I ask for some time off, my manager can approve it, but I can’t. In a Power App, there are many different ways to implement role-based permissions. I’ve put…
This is a pretty quick one, but very useful, nonetheless. I had a lot of trouble finding a way to determine the number of days between two dates for a flow I was building. After a lot of Binglage, I found an article (Calculate the difference between dates in a Power Automate Flow) from Phil…
No matter how long I work with the Power Platform, I’m always running into things which feel like they should be simple, but simply aren’t. Recently, I needed to filter a SharePoint list as a data source which had a multi-select Person or Group column. It’s a simple idea, really. The list is one which…
This is a little one, but sort of cool. I’m building a Power App which takes orders for shipment between stores. The person filling out the form can request a delivery date, but we want to give them a decent default. (It would be great if we could set minimum or maximum date in a…
Working with Power Apps, you end up having to know a lot of little stuff that is impossible to remember. This article isn’t something entirely new. In fact, I’ve effectively stolen the meat of it from other posts, which I’m listing as sources at the bottom. However. I haven’t seen these formats all collected together…
Ten years ago today, Sadie Van Buren (@sadalit) released the first version of the SharePoint Maturity Model. As soon as I caught wind of it, I knew it was something special. Sadie had taken the great thinking behind the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) and devised a scheme which could be applied to SharePoint. Happy birthday…
There probably aren’t a lot of people who use the Storage Management page in SharePoint these days, but I find it really helpful. When we do migrations it’s invaluable, especially when we are looking at a “legacy” – read: classic – pyramid of a Site Collection, with lots of nested subsites. Sure, there are fancier…
It’s been a long time since I posted about Sadie Van Buren’s SharePoint Maturity model in these posts: Applause for Sadie Van Buren’s SharePoint Maturity Model From Annoyance to Harmonizer: Cloud Computing’s Maturity Curve SharePoint Adoption and Success: Navigating the Chasm of Despair and more… As a part of the Microsoft 365 Community Docs, we’ve…
It felt like it was time to do an update on the Microsoft 365 Community Docs, which I last wrote about here in Microsoft 365 Community Docs: Call for Content. We also did a post on the SharePoint Community Blog in June: Updates on the Microsoft 365 Community Docs – June 2020. New Articles Since…
This should be one of the most obvious tools in the toolkit. PnP PowerShell is awesome, and we so often want to retrieve a set of items in a list. Get-PnPListItem is the magic cmdlet to do so. This post is yet another of the many where I get to admit being an idiot about…
