Key Takeaways
- Download select columns for offline use: This feature, launching in August, allows administrators to customize offline profiles by selecting specific columns to include, optimizing data loading, and improving performance for remote users accessing the mobile app.
- Use Entra auth for external Tenants in Power Apps: This new feature simplifies access to resources across multiple tenants by eliminating the need for different gateways, allowing direct access to all tenants and their resources. Heidi notes that this update will streamline interactions and improve efficiency for users managing multiple tenants.
- Use the SQL Decimal type in Power Apps: The default data type for internal values will change from floating point to decimal this month, addressing issues reported by users and improving accuracy and reliability.
- Re-edit data sources with stored procedures: Lastly, this feature simplifies the app development process by allowing stored procedures to be managed under a single data source name, rather than handling them separately.
