PORTAL USER LAST LOGIN DATE AND TIME

Many clients wish to have a look on how their systems are performing and especially the ones facing the end users, therefore, they sometimes need to track the peak time when the users are connected to their systems to do some statistics, analysis, and take actions based on the data collected.

The same applies to the PowerApps portal which is our topic in this post, where I will show you how to get the user last login date to the portal.

As you know, users that connect to the portal, are saved in the Dynamics 365 as contact records, and to save the last login date to the portal, a new date/time field named Last Successful Login will be created in the contact entity during the portal provisioning.

In order to fill this field by the appropriate date time when a portal user has logged in, a setting should be set and enabled
  1. Open the portal settings entity
  2. Add the settings Authentication/LoginTrackingEnabled and put its Value to True
    Portal last login

  3. Once this setting is added, log into the portal
  4. You can now see that the Last Successful Login field in the contact entity is filled
    Portal last login 2

DYNAMICS 365 HOW TO HIDE RECENT RECORDS FOR LOOKUP FIELD IN UCI

Image
In UCI, a lot of behaviors have been changed comparing to the Classic Web Interface such as the tabs, BPF, and many others. Today, I will be talking about one of these behaviors which is the Recent Records in lookup fields. In a brief summary, the Recent Records feature will suggest the latest records that have been searched for, where the user can select one of them, and, the list of available records of the current view will then be displayed. This is a nice-to-have feature since it might help the users to speed up data entry. However, if the lookup has been filtered to display specific records, the Recent Records will not respect this filter and will keep showing records even is they should not. This scenario can lead to selecting a record by the user that is not allowed to be selected. Therefore, in this situation, it is better to hide the Recent Records t

Is it possible to search for a CRM record using its GUID ? Well, NO it is not possible and YES it is possible!!! As always has been, it is not possible to search for a record by its guid in Advanced Find and in the Quick view search.

You will directly receive an error notification eventhough when you download the fetchXml, the Guid of the record will be there. Quick view search Using the search box

SAVE FORM IN DYNAMICS 365 JAVASCRIPT

Image
In Dynamics 365, you may need to save a CRM form automatically in JavaScript upon a specific action on the form. In order to do that, the function formContext.data.save(saveOptions).then(successCallback, errorCallback); can be used to save the record asynchronously with callback functions to be executed after the save operation is completed. The following example will display a successful message if the save operation is completed, and a failure message if not. formContext.data.save(1).then( function () { alert("Successfully Saved!"); }, function () { alert("Failed while saving!"); });
