@mattbdevaney @PlanetParker You should build a demo of what it should look like in relation to the finance system (a portion of such). Settle some pain

@PlanetParker The bullets support a custom approach for the most part. I worked in accounting before tech. We used a robust 3rd party approvals system that integrated with our financial software. I miss it everyday ❤

When should you use #PowerAutomate Approvals vs. build your own custom approvals? 🤔 💭 Consider these points 👇 1️⃣ Sequential Approvals Power Automate approvals lack the features to make sequential approvals a great user experience. The approvals history displayed to the user only shows themselves and the sender. Not the entire chain of approvals. There is also no “reject to previous level button.” Instead, approvers are left with two non-ideal options. “Reassign” which should not be allowed in sequence approvals or “Reject” which is not clear if it means “no” or “no, please resubmit” 2️⃣ Duration Over 30 Days The maximum lifespan of a flow is 30 days. Once it reaches 30 days the approval will be cancelled. Yes, there are ways a flow can be “restarted.” But I believe approvals should not exist in a state where they can lapse due to timeouts. We don’t want them to be fragile. The user will also get a 2nd message about the approval with no trace back to the original. This is potentially confusing. They might believe it’s a duplicate request. 3️⃣ Approvals History I should also mention that the approvals history will not appear anywhere after 30 days due to the flow history limits. Auditability of approvals is key. You’ll need to record the history somewhere else to keep it. 4️⃣ Approvals Center The Teams Approvals app may be disabled for the organization. To have the best experience with Approvals this should be turned on. If not, you’ll want to build another custom solution to centralize the display of approvals. Keep in mind - approvals runs on Dataverse tables which will make a custom app require premium licenses There’s more to consider… so please leave your thoughts in the comments section below 💬 —- Which should you choose? Out-of-the-box Approvals ✅ Single Stage Approvals ✅ Non-Mission Critical Build Custom Approvals Feature ✅ Multiple Stage Approvals ✅ Over 30 Days ✅ Approvals History ✅ Use Outside Approvals Center ✅ Other Customizations

@kbdoc1 @NHSGGCeHealth @Sword_Group @Mike34775 Kevin, this is so amazing, congrats!! Great to see recognition for all the hard work from everyone and the innovation visions :)

Great to accept the Best Value award for our innovative #M365 MDT solution on behalf of @NHSGGCeHealth, regional ehealth teams, clinical colleagues who supported us and external teams @Sword_Group @Si_Purr @Mike34775 and Sammy Hassan. >4000 patient episodes in 18 mths.

@sainsburys we recieved a delievery Sunday 7th, we have an issue with an item that had a date of the 6th on it, how do we get in touch

#PowerPlatform licensing is one of the most frequently requested topics in #community. Always a good cross-reference is go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId… incl. the latest updates or clarification. But I try visuals as well...

@kbdoc1 @NHSGGCeHealth @Sword_Group This is fantastic news @kbdoc1 ! would be great to catchup on your experiences. Hope you are well

First 1000 GO MDT patients managed through our #M365 #PowerPlatform apps. BRILLIANT work @NHSGGCeHealth @Sword_Group after early work by @Si_Purr. Using the connectivity of #MicrosoftTeams, workflow automation and harnessing data to benefit MDT members and patients.

@BritishGasHelp Yes thanks

@Si_Purr Hi Simon, I'm sorry to hear what happened here and for the late reply. Have you managed to get this sorted? Thanks, Jodie.

@BritishGasHelp 53 mins got through to someone and they cut me off!!! Not impressed, no call back

@PaginatedBear Great thanks, do you have a link? Initial concerns were over screen read compliance and keyboard control

@Si_Purr Of course you can - the samples on Github are a good place to start

@PaginatedBear Hi, can you make Paginated Reports meet accessibility standards? WCAG 2.1, AA? See lots around PBI Reports but not these.

Coming soon.... Aunty Carol (me)will teach your child their catch up maths completely free over the summer with my @themathsfactor Summer Adventure.... just as we did with HALF A MILLION CHILDREN during lockdown last year. Sign up here now ... pear.sn/pNNS50F2NT8

@MSPowerApps Hi, is there an up to date version of Employee Experience Starter Kit, the Time Away app said coming soo, in blog post from 2019, also the deployment screens are outdated, keen to see the time away app. powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/pow…

@JoanneCKlein @sharegatetools Socks, snap! Love mine 😄

Shout out and huge thanks to @sharegatetools for this most generous gift of an iconic Canadian Hudson’s Bay Company blanket! I absolutely love it. It will keep me warm in my office on these very cold days... 🤗 🇨🇦 ♥️

@SkyHelpTeam what issues are there in the SO50 Area? Many without fibre at the moment?!

@SkyHelpTeam internet issues today on fibre, SO50 area, parents experiencing the same? Suggested firmware update issues, what's occuring?

@JoanneCKlein When your time is up with your maker, however this would pan out, it's better to regret the things you did do, than regret the things you didn't do. So I'd say always worth a shot at something 🙂

Interesting professional opportunity has presented itself to me... the draw is real. 👩‍💻

cha cha next slide please

More great new web parts for #SharePoint pages! Tabs & accordion displays for sections and audience targeting for Quick Links! Thanks @johnsanders! #MSIgnite

Really proud of our whole team for bringing this video out with Syntex so quickly!

This is big! Finally, I can make API videos and not have a disclaimer that this will need premium Power Platform license. #MSIgnite #PowerAddicts
