  • Synapse Link Manage Tables performance

    Thu, 17 Oct 2024 20:09:04 GMT – Dynamics 365 Customer Insights - Data – New 

    It takes a almost a minute to populate the list of tables, and to open up the Manage Table dialog, and then Save. Can you please optimise this performance.


    A quick wins could be:

    1) Do not automatically populate Synapse tables. In our environment we only use F&O tables

    2) The method of saving a CSV of all our tables used in a file should be replaced/augmented with the ability to save the set of tables within the tool.


  • Automatic "Refresh Fabric"

    Thu, 17 Oct 2024 20:17:05 GMT – Dynamics 365 Customer Insights - Data – New 

    Synapse Link to automatically initiates a “Refresh Fabric” command after new tables are added and errored. Typically these go to error because an Index needs to be created. Although the errors correct themselves overnight, we typically need select “Refresh Fabric” in the morning.

     

  • Samsung camera fix for invoice scanning in Expense Management Power App for Android mobile phones

    Mon, 17 Mar 2025 20:14:26 GMT – Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Cross-Apps – New 

    When installed on a Samsung Android phone, the app always opens up the forward facing camera, instead of the rear facing camera as users expect to scan an invoice. While the app has a "change camera" button, it this needs be pressed twice. This compounds the confusion for our users during training as we prepare for company go-live on F&O.


    Note that our internal developer was able to develop a fix for this, but we will only deploy a Microsoft supported version of the app, so would like Microsoft to implement a change. We suspect will be an issue for many companies.


    Could you please upvote if your org uses Samsung phones and has this issue?
