The is the second blog of this series. If you are on this blog and have missed out on the first one, I request you to go through the previous one to be fully aware of the context.
Want to leverage Azure storage for your documents in PowerApps/ Dynamics 365 portals instead of Notes? Check this out
So now that we have configured the portal and azure storage settings in the previous blog, it’s time to make modification on the Dynamics 365/ CDS side
There is no provision in Dynamics 365 to store documents in CDS/ Dynamics 365. Hence we need to put in the some extra configurations in there.
Open the contact form of you choice that you are going to show in the portal. In there I insert a tab specifically to store the Azure documents and add a webresource – adx_annotations.html in there as show in the below screenshot.
Don’t miss out the custom parameter – azureEnabled=true
Now when we open the same record in CDS/ Dynamics 365, the file shows up. Observe the cloud icon in the file which shows that image file is being uploaded in Azure storage.
Some very cool features but again not everyone aware of it. Hope this one helps!
