Overview of this book

Unlock the untapped potential of Business Central by harnessing the power of the Power Platform with this comprehensive guide, transforming your cumbersome manual processes and limited customization capabilities into a vast array of extended functionalities and possibilities.

You’ll then learn how to set up virtual tables and use Dataverse to create a simple model-driven app. As the book progresses, you’ll leverage Power Apps, including both Canvas apps and model-driven apps, to build apps around Business Central processes. The book also highlights Power Automate’s capabilities to create or modify business processes while incorporating new processes and automation. As you advance, you’ll connect to Business Central APIs that can be implemented to connect with Business Central Data and finally integrate Power BI natively with Business Central, empowering you to construct advanced reports and dashboards.

Solutions

A solution is a container that holds related assets or components such as Power Apps, Power Automate, chatbots, tables, and connectors. Consider it the next level down from the environment; one environment can have many solutions. Therefore, the solution can transport and move customizations from environment to environment. In addition, solutions can be managed using version control.

Important note

Always build in a solution; it is essential to start a solution and create everything in the solution or create the solution and add all the components to your solution. This will ensure you don’t miss pieces when you transport the solution to another environment and will keep everything contained together.

Solutions allow developers to package customizations and configurations into a solution file that can be easily moved between environments. Let’s now look at the types of solutions we have in Power Platform.
