Power Platform Governance and Administration

Hi there,

In production, there is a way to specify the Maintenance Window so that CE Apps install during this window.

See here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/manage-maintenance-window

This feature is not available in Sandbox environments, nor is there anyway to see when CE Apps will be updated (i.e. a schedule).

We have found it be a huge inconvenience when suddenly our sandbox environments are slow and sluggish - the we find out that Marketing or another App is being updated while we are trying to develop. This is happening during normal business hours and so affects out team - because we often can't save or publish in the envionment - for hours at a time

Thanks.

When opening any opportunity documents located inside the folders on files tab, there is no way to get back to folder structure easily without clicking around and refreshing the page. 

Moving back to folder structure once opened a selected folder. Now when changing the view and change back again to get back that folder which is not a preferred solution for users.

Could you please try to develop a button to move back from folder structure to normal view.

Currently user selecting view or doing refresh to come out from the folder.

Is necessary to add search by content within the Search in Power Portals, it is a bit ridiculous that a search does not generate the query within the web pages and Microsoft only indicates that it is possible to search the title of the page but not to search within the HTML content that it has.

A search engine that does not have this query method is not much more useful if it is the only one that is delivered from the factory

Please can we have the ability to restart Async services in the admin centre or appropriate admin space.

There are times like now where we have a major P1 as jobs are sitting waiting for resources for no obvious reason and the fix as always been to get an MS engineer to restart Async services.

Would be easier to have a button that could trigger that or send an automate request to an appropriate engineer to minimise the downtime.

When admins are deploying the D365 app for outlook through the list of users that are eligible for the App there is a problem with how the query in the list is checking the priviliges of the users. It seems that the query is requiring that the users must have a security role with permission for the D365 App for Outlook directly linked to the users. In a scenario where the customers are using the sync between Azure AD groups and AAD sercurity group teams in the power platform (and therefor not linking any security roles directly to the users) the query does not populate the eligible users if the permission for the D365 App for Outlook is only granted indirectly to the users through the AAD Security group teams (or any other type of team). This means the the customers have to break the principle of NOT assigning security roles directly to the users.

To me it seems that the product team responsible for the App for Outlook was unaware that you can assign security roles to the users though team association. I hope this glitch in the design (bug) is fixed.

When trying to filter in a view, especially by lookup, it is difficult to pick the correct record if there are multiple records with the same name.

Previously, in the legacy UI, the lookup view popped up. Making it possible to see other fields at the record and thereby picking the correct record out of multiple with the same name.

You could argue that one could just add those other fields to the view as well. But you do not always want them there and there are scenarios when that doesn´t help either.

Some ideas here that would improve the experience:

• Make it possible to choose if the filter options for a column should only contain records that's actually listed in the view.
• Related to above: Make it possible to choose whether filtering on one column should be applicable on other columns. As an example: A view of contacts has 2 lookup columns, account and county. If you do filter by account and then wan´t to filter by county - only the counties that´s related to the already, by account, filtered contact records should be visible to pick from.
• Make it configurable so that multiple fields from the related record can by visible when filtering the column. Making it easier to pick the right record.

Hi When you download Add-on Managed report for Portal login or Page View or any other option, information contain in report are not user friendly as an example Download Portal login report it contain GUID of Portal ID and Environment ID which is very difficult to map to actual Portal Name or Environment name, though there is way to figure out but it's time consuming

Thanks

When putting in a search for Cloudflows or tables, etc. and then going into the flow, when the UI returns to the list, keep the value in the Search box, so we don't have to re-enter it all the time.

It is especially annoying when looking through a list of flows based on the name of the flow

Currently we don't have any option to add column to activity table. It would be nice to have that. Like in case of our requirement we wanted to have business area column available on all activity types and filter all activities based on that in consolidated view.

We need the ability to stay in the workflow step if a condition is not met. Currently we need to write custom JavaScript to do that.
