GA: Microsoft PowerApps and Flow
- I'm confused by your response. What has MS discontinued in O365 without an upgrade path? SPD still works fine and the WFs it creates will continue to work for many years.
The Dynamics 365 tile is a real problem for some Microsoft customers, and I don't think Microsoft has properly listened and understood. This is making the customers (IT professionals) and Microsoft look bad.
The reason *some* of your customers need the tile is understood, you have explained it well enough already. The reason *some-other* customers need to remove the tile is being ignored.
In our environment, some staff might be assigned a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Professional license, but none of the students are assigned this license. So when any student clicks on the "Dynamics 365" icon the "The new home for all your business apps" page appears briefly and then an error page appears with the message "You need a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online license to continue" and a red X icon indicating that this app is broken. From the student point of view, this is just a permanently broken application that the organisation is doing nothing about.
Having the "Dynamics 365" icon should be optional, controlled by the tenant.
- 100% agree with Stephen Crowther here. As a Microsoft MVP working primarily with Dynamics GP, which isn't Dynamics 365, my clients are very hesitant to even consider using PowerApps and Flow because that means they have no choice but to have a D365 tile on their app launcher because the confusion to users is high (they see Dynamics and think it's a different GP shortcut). This should be in the control of the tenant if they need it in their situation, not forced on everyone.
