🥇 Cover Story

MDA: Open Lookup in Side Pane

by Temmy Wahyu Raharjo

Keep your users where they need to be while still letting them work with a related record with Temmy’s handy reusable script - apply it to whichever lookup controls you want and the related record will open in a neat little side panel instead of taking the user away to a whole new screen.

💎 Model Driven Apps & Dataverse

Matt goes down the rabbit hole to investigate just what happens with all the different options you’ve got available.
