Overview of this book

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a powerful tool. It has many unique features that empower organisations to bridge common business challenges and technology pitfalls that would usually hinder the adoption of a CRM solution. This book sets out to enable you to harness the power of Dynamics 365 and cater to your unique circumstances. We start this book with a no-code configuration chapter and explain the schema, fields, and forms modeling techniques. We then move on to server-side and client-side custom code extensions. Next, you will see how best to integrate Dynamics 365 in a DevOps pipeline to package and deploy your extensions to the various SDLC environments. This book also covers modern libraries and integration patterns that can be used with Dynamics 365 (Angular, 3 tiers, and many others). Finally, we end by highlighting some of the powerful extensions available. Throughout we explain a range of design patterns and techniques that can be used to enhance your code quality; the aim is that you will learn to write enterprise-scale quality code.

Getting ready

As per the previous recipe, you will need a license that includes PowerApp capabilities. PowerApps are included in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition Plan 1 (or higher) or can be purchased independently.

From a CDS perspective, you will need an existing environment with a database containing the Feedback entity, as created in the previous recipe. Alternatively, you can use the same pattern with a different entity of your choice. Make sure you have the correct privileges (Read/Create in our example) for the entity you are manipulating.

How to do it...

  1. Log in to your Office 365 portal and click on the PowerApps icon highlighted as follows:
