Power Automate cloud flows are the recommended and most robust method for server-side processing like image manipulation. A flow can be triggered when a record is created or updated, use the ‘Resize image’ action to compress the photo, and update the record, ensuring the policy is enforced consistently regardless of how the data originates.

While Power Fx libraries (option A) are for reusable UI components and formulas, complex, multi-step business logic is best encapsulated in Power Automate cloud flows. Flows act as reusable, server-side microservices. They can be called from any canvas or model-driven app using the Power Automate connector, ensuring a single source of truth, easier maintenance, and the ability to be triggered by events outside of apps.

In Dataverse, adding indexes to columns used for filtering, sorting, and in join conditions (for lookups) is a fundamental database performance optimization. This allows the database engine to locate records much faster than performing a full table scan. While optimizing the view (option B) can help, ensuring proper indexing is a prerequisite for any query performance gain and often yields the most significant improvement.

Power Automate cloud flows are the modern, low-code method for automating processes across Microsoft 365 and Dataverse. They can be easily triggered by Dataverse events (like record creation), perform actions like creating tasks and sending Teams approvals, and are built and maintained in an intuitive designer. This is more accessible and integrable than a plug-in (C) or classic workflow (B).

Custom pages are a type of canvas app that can be embedded in model-driven apps, but they are built using code-first components and professional developer tools. The primary toolchain is the Power Apps CLI (Command Line Interface) used in conjunction with a code editor like VS Code. This allows you to create, manage, and deploy the code components (PCF controls) and the custom page definition.

The Gallery control has a built-in ‘SelectionMode’ property. When set to ‘Multiple’ or ‘Range’, the gallery’s ‘SelectedItems’ property automatically becomes a table of the user-selected records. This is the most direct and declarative method provided by the platform for handling multi-selection, requiring no manual management of collections or variables for the core selection logic.

When packaging automations in a solution, any connection used by a cloud flow (like SharePoint, Outlook, or a custom connector) must be represented by a ‘connection reference’ component within that same solution. If the connection reference is missing, the flow has a dependency that cannot be resolved in the target environment. You must add the required connection reference to the solution before exporting.

The requirement is for record-level filtering based on a data attribute (region), not organizational structure. The correct approach is to use security roles with appropriate read privileges and then implement a mechanism to filter records. This is typically done by ensuring records are owned by a team (e.g., a ‘North America Sales’ team) and assigning managers to that team, or by using manual sharing or Azure AD group-based teams aligned to regions. Business units (C) are for broader organizational segregation, not dynamic filtering by a data field.

Custom commands (formerly known as command bar buttons) can be configured specifically for a subgrid. You can create a command with an action (like ‘Update Record’) that targets the selected row(s) in the subgrid. This provides a seamless, low-code way to add bulk or single-record actions directly to the UI context where users are working, without needing custom code (D) or a full flow (C).

Power Automate cloud flows are the recommended and most robust method for server-side processing like image manipulation. A flow can be triggered when a record is created or updated, use the ‘Resize image’ action to compress the photo, and update the record, ensuring the policy is enforced consistently regardless of how the data originates.0
