- Need the ability to implement your own custom controls.
Microsoft
Need Global variables
PowerApps lacks global variables. You must resort to using hidden screens (views) with hidden controls to maintain state between views.
Note: A better way is to use an experienced developer and fill gaps by using Azure Functions.
Need a Sweet Responsive design
There are issues with responsive design.
Need more Speed
The SQL database connector is slow. Retrieving 100 lines + in a resultset takes about a second per row.
Help me create an entity offline
Figure: I’d love to see an ‘add entity’ option here
Figure: I often create and use Trello boards offline. It is a nice experience
Note: you can only take your data offline when using Dynamics 365 for Outlook. It is ‘no’ to anything else (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/mobile-app/v8/go-mobile/work-offline)
Help me use my iPad in portrait mode
Why is the Dynamics App fixed as landscape? So weird.
Figure: Why do I *have* to turn my iPad on its side?
Make ‘more information’ data on exported audit logs in multiple columns
From the audit result, if you double-click a line and then click “More information”, here is what you see :
Figure: audit log results detail panel after clicking “more info”
Which is great! A lot of useful information in there!
However, if you export the Audit result, here is what you get :
Figure: audit log results exported to excel
The whole “More information” data is a single column !!
It is indeed easy to format but requires extra work, and is not ideal.
Suggestion: make these information extra columns in the export!
Show the source Site Collection on search results
Consider this search result:
Figure: audit log results
When I click on “Details” (or double click), I can see :
Figure: audit log results detail panel
This is terribly misleading ! The source is displayed as “/Shared Documents/xxx”, which I assumed being “sswcom.sharepoint.com/Shared Documents/xxx”, but is in fact “sswcom.sharepoint.com/sites/SSWNetworkAdmins/Shared Documents/xxx”. The displayed path is indeed relative, but relative to the site collection, not the whole tenant. Which is misleading in a “unified” log (where results can come from pretty much any site collection).
Suggestion: I would love to have options to:
- See the source Site Collection
- Filter down & sort by Site Collection
Help me search for root site only (no subsites)
The “File, Folder or Site” box shouldn’t a simple text filter.
Say I want to have results for my root site only (sswcom.SharePoint.com) – without subsites (say, sswcom.SharePoint.com/sysadmins), I have currently no way of doing it. Searching for “sswcom.sharepoint.com” will give me results that are in subsites or pretty much anything that includes “sswcom.sharepoint.com”.
Suggestion: Either implement “smart” search with the keyword (E.g. “sswcom.sharepoint.com” AND (NOT “sswcom.sharepoint.com/sysadmin”)) OR add a multi-select dropdown to pick the sources (sites, subsites, teams, etc…)

Help me see the Story Point value with less noise in the Backlog
Less noise – more value :)
+ I’d like a 3rd graph for Business Value – see Do you estimate “Business Value”?
