From the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV Blogs: Create apps; Control add-in; C/SIDE development
This week on the Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV blog roundup:
- Create apps with PowerApps and Dynamics NAV
- Accessing a control add-in in a dependency extension
- Take your C/SIDE development to Git and Docker with NAVBaaS Git
Create apps with PowerApps and Dynamics NAV
On the Dynamics NAV Team Blog, the team said that some of you have likely tried building apps using PowerApps, and the connector for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. However, it seems to be more difficult for some people than others. As such, you've asked for some guidance from Microsoft.
The Dynamics NAV connector requires ODataV4, and that means Dynamics NAV 2017 or Dynamics NAV 2018, according to the team. However, it's not quite that straightforward, the team said.
The connector exists, but only in preview. You can use it to connect to your Dynamics NAV data through a PowerApps canvas app.
The team hasn't promoted the Dynamics NAV connector because the current connector centers around technology that doesn't work well with the amount of data that an average customer has.
Until then, we recommend caution in the objects that you expose as ODataV4 web services and use in PowerApps.
You can read how to create apps with PowerApps and Dynamics NAV in the meantime here.
Accessing a control add-in in a dependency extension
On his Vjeko.com blog, Vjekoslav Babić said that recently he had a call with a partner who asked if it was possible to deploy a control add-in in such a way that other partners could use its functionality from their own extensions.
