Overview of Power Platform Environments Settings Model-Driven App
In this video, UG Expert Heidi Neuhauser reviews the Power Platform Environment Settings model-driven app, which has been in public preview since September 2024. She walks through an app overview and defines which features she likes versus doesn’t like.
Key Takeaways:
- Streamlined administration: The app pulls together administration work that used to be done across a variety of areas and consolidates it into one place. Heidi says this has improved her user experience. It has business management and service management settings, for instance.
- Customization: When navigating to this section, it opens a classic environment and goes into the default solution. While Heidi doesn’t like that it starts in the default solution, she does like that going into solutions opens the Power Apps Maker Portal. This element is convenient as it minimizes the need to toggle between different places.
- Consolidated management: In the system area, users can manage security and data. It also enables the management of jobs, auditing, and related settings. This is also where users can manage the Dynamics 365 app for Outlook. It has a processes area to manage different processes as well.
- Classic vs. new app experience: Anything that’s still relying on classic is going to take a while to load. However, the Power Platform Environment Settings app is a huge win, Heidi notes.
