UG Expert Kylie Kiser provides an overview of what’s to come with Release Wave 1 of Power Apps. She notes that these Power Apps features will usually also apply to Dynamics 365 CE Customer Service, Marketing, Sales, and related apps. Microsoft’s Release Waves consist of the features Microsoft is working on for the next six months, with different features having different release timelines.
Key Takeaways
- Offline data on mobile devices: Selecting columns to be downloaded on mobile devices will be updated so users can choose specifically which columns are downloaded, not just the whole table. This manual selection will be generally available in April.
- AI-generated summaries: Summaries for tables can be made available on model-driven apps. Users will be able to take advantage of these AI record summaries starting in April.
- Copilot for solution planning: Copilot can be used to plan out solutions to big business problems within the plan designer. Users can describe a problem then Copilot will provide guidance through building a solution. This is now in public preview and will be generally available in September.
- Natural language search and filtering: Through the use of NLP, users can better find records and refine a view. While this feature has had different variations looking back, these updates will make it easier to search views and hopefully will minimize the need for advanced filters.
- Form fill assistance and visualization: Users will experience improved form fill assistance by adding custom knowledge. In a previous release wave, Microsoft enabled users to get help with form filling. Now, users can add knowledge to make it better as well as improvements to the visualization of data.
- Source code management for canvas apps: This feature will be especially beneficial for pro-developers who will be able to store canvas app data in a file repository. This will become generally available in June.
