We used a Resco Kanban board PCF to visualize the Activities assigned to the students in the Model-Driven Apps.

A Kanban board PCF control visualizes workflow progress by displaying tasks in different stages of completion. It can be used for project management, process optimization, and enhancing team collaboration.

We added the new tab to the form Activity Overview.

Advantages of Kanban Board PCF Components:

  1. Visual Task Management
    • A Kanban board provides a clear and intuitive visual representation of tasks and their statuses. This helps users quickly understand workload distribution and progress at a glance.
  2. Drag-and-Drop Functionality
    • PCF components support interactive features like drag-and-drop, making it easier to update task statuses without manually editing fields or navigating between forms.
  3. Real-Time Updates
    • The Kanban board can fetch and display data in real-time from the Dataverse, ensuring that users are always working with the latest information.
  4. Improved Collaboration
    • Teams can use the board to assign, track, and prioritize tasks collaboratively, leading to better alignment and accountability.
  5. Increased Efficiency
    • By reducing the need for context-switching (e.g., switching between forms or views), a Kanban board improves task management efficiency within the Power Apps environment.
  6. Enhanced User Experience
    • The interactive and user-friendly interface of a PCF-based Kanban board enhances user engagement and adoption, especially for non-technical users.
  7. Task Prioritization and Tracking
    • The ability to sort tasks into columns (e.g., “To Do,” “In Progress,” “Done”) helps prioritize work and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
  8. Supports Agile Methodologies
    • Ideal for teams using Agile or Scrum methodologies, allowing them to visualize backlogs, sprints, and task progress directly in the Dataverse.

Resco Integration: Enhancing Production and Installation at Hogwarts

Greetings, wizarding innovators and hackathon enthusiasts! ✨

At Team PowerPotters, we understand that every great potion not only needs the right ingredients but also a seamless production and installation process. To achieve this, we’ve integrated the Resco PCF component into our Finance and Operations (F&O) platform, bringing magical synergy to production workflows. Here’s how this integration streamlines operations and elevates efficiency in potion-making.

How Resco Was Integrated into F&O

Our initial goal was to integrate the Resco PCF component directly into a Canvas App for potion production approvals. However, platform compatibility challenges led us to innovate:

  1. Embedding Resco in F&O:
    • The Resco component is embedded in the Installation Details section of production orders in F&O.
    • This ensures that production and installation processes are centrally managed within the F&O interface.
  2. Bridging Resco and Canvas Apps:
    • To address compatibility issues, we developed an additional PCF control that retrieves forms from a Model-Driven App and displays them in the Canvas App.
    • This solution bridges the gap between Resco technology and Canvas Apps, ensuring cross-platform functionality without losing F&O context.

Key Benefits of Resco Integration

  1. Streamlined Operations:
    • Embedding Resco functionality in the Installation Details ensures that production workers and installers can collaborate directly within F&O, eliminating the need for external integrations or disconnected tools.
  2. Seamless User Experience:
    • The Resco PCF component provides an intuitive interface for scheduling and coordination, aligning perfectly with potion production workflows.
  3. Cross-Platform Collaboration:
    • Integrating forms from Model-Driven Apps into Canvas Apps demonstrates the flexibility of Resco tools, showcasing how they can extend and enhance F&O capabilities.
  4. Increased Productivity:
    • By reducing unnecessary integration layers and centralizing all production and installation details in one place, teams can focus on value-adding tasks.

The Impact of Resco in Our Potion Production System

This integration is a game-changer for potion production and installation:

  • Production Workers: Gain a clear overview of scheduling and installation details directly in F&O.
  • Installers: Collaborate effortlessly with production teams through streamlined workflows, reducing errors and delays.
  • Business Value: The flexibility of Resco tools, combined with the innovative PCF control, creates a scalable solution adaptable to any business-critical process.

Why This Earns the Resco Badge

Our solution highlights the innovative use of Resco components in a Finance and Operations context, demonstrating:

  1. Technical Expertise: Bridging Resco, Canvas Apps, and Model-Driven Apps to create a cohesive experience.
  2. Operational Efficiency: Centralizing production and installation workflows for seamless collaboration.
  3. Flexibility and Scalability: Adapting Resco tools to overcome platform limitations, ensuring their full potential is realized in F&O.

A Magical Collaboration of Tools

With Resco at the heart of our potion production workflows, we’ve turned challenges into opportunities, creating a solution that embodies innovation and efficiency. We humbly submit our case for the Resco Badge and invite you to explore the magic of integration with Team PowerPotters: acdc.blog/category/cepheo25.

Using the Resco Tree View PCF Component in CRM

In this blog post, we’ll show you how we integrated the Resco Tree View PCF (PowerApps Component Framework) component into a Dynamics 365 environment to make enhancements to our Sorting Hat quiz.

Before diving in, let’s quickly break down what PCF (PowerApps Component Framework) is. PCF is a powerful framework that allows you to create custom components for use in Dynamics 365 and PowerApps applications. These components are highly interactive and are commonly used to enhance the UI and user experience.

Resco’s Tree View PCF component is one such component. It’s primarily used for displaying hierarchical data in a tree-like structure, but with some creativity, you can repurpose it to display quiz questions, choices, and results in a fun and engaging way.

We used this component to create data hierarchy in CRM where each record represents a node.

The piece of code that is implemented and allows us to have a parent-child hierarchy:

{
  "parents": [
    {
      "viewId": "9b98bd93-f813-42c7-be23-788b26b67c1e",
      "property": "adv_quizid",
      "parents": [
        {
          "viewId": "9b98bd93-f813-42c7-be23-788b26b67c1e",
          "property": "adv_quizid"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "child": {
    "viewId": "1B9C4C57-29BC-48E6-994D-0C9B9A47A50D",
    "property": "adv_quizid",
    "child": {
      "viewId": "1B9C4C57-29BC-48E6-994D-0C9B9A47A50D",
      "property": "adv_quizid"
    }
  },
  "recursive": "adv_quizid"
}

Our solution would not be possible wihtout the hard work and dedication of our sponsors solutions, enabling magical abilities we would not be able to reproduce and transforming our solutions with wizardy love.

Link Mobility

Our first process is to send an Owl with the letter to invite prospective wizards and witches to their school. If the wizard is an area which doesn’t have good owl coverage, due to extreme weather conditions, muggle political infighting or just too far away, we send them a text with their invite

This is done via Link Mobility in Power Automate, utilising their API to send out an invite to our Static Web App Portal.

This is received by prospective sorcerors as a text message

Oneflow

Once the prospective candidate has filled out their details and qualified for the next stage, we need to get agreement from their parents or guardians to allow them to attend wizarding school, and ensure they agree to go to diagon alley to get the wizarding items to prepare the new wizard for school.

This is enabled by the Contract templates and capablities of Oneflow solution.

Firstly we set up a template, then using their API, create a contract based on that template. and sent to the parent of the prospective students.

The parents then get to sign in to Oneflow to enter their details as well as the students and confirm they agree to the terms, all seamless!

Resco

For Resco, we had an abundance of choice to use their PCF components. This control bring usability to the platform easily.

We embedded the multi attachment uploader into our applicaiton process, allowing uploading of many documents all at once in an easy and user friendly manner.

PCF Gallery

Finally, not content with just those 3, we have used a PCF control from the PCF Gallery. This control is a Tag Picker, which allows quick and easy association and disassociation of records via the many to many relationship.

We used this to allow a simple, user-friendly process to associate characteristics to our potential sorcerors.
