Independent Publisher connectors are connectors developed, tested, published, and supported by connector developers that are independent from the backend service or API. The Microsoft Certification team performs validations and checks to ensure that the connector is safe to use.

Finding and then acting on information in model-driven apps can take two forms: Searching for specific records (which we modernized recently through Dataverse search) and exploring a table for record sets that meet a specific criterion: Advanced find. Microsoft announced the availability of modern advanced find that not only replaces the legacy experience but also adds new enhancements to view personalization to help you be more productive with model-driven apps.

Explore data through advanced filters on any table in the app

Using the global search bar in the header, you can now choose any table in the app to perform a structured search. Choosing a table navigates you to the familiar grid page, with filter options immediately available to work with.

View selector enhancements to help you create and find views easily

After you have edited the filters and included the right columns in the view, you can find the options to create a personal view within the view selector, along with other options to manage the view list.

As you create more views, you can browse them easily in the view selector, with personal views annotated with an icon. You can also search for a view by name so you can be more productive in navigating between different pivots of data.

Personalization options to see the most relevant views

If you have created a lot of personal views over time, finding the right view quickly can be difficult. With two new powerful personalization options available with modern advanced find, you can make the view list your own, so the most relevant views are easily accessible.

Hiding a view in the view list

You can hide one or more views in the view list to ensure only the most relevant views show up in the view selector. Views are hidden only for you across all devices for that table in the environment.

Changing the order of views

You can make the list of views appear in one of three preset orders. If you have tables in which you prefer to use system views over personal views, you can change the order of views in the view selector across all devices for that table in the environment.

View management options to collaborate with views

You can also collaborate with your team members by sharing personal views just like you would share any other record.

Administrators can enable modern advanced find through a feature setting in Power Platform Admin Center.

Localizing custom pages will help you build multi-language Power Apps that align model-driven apps with custom pages that are needed for cross-regional deployments. We are excited to bring this capability as it will ensure you can seamlessly deploy a Power App that uses both model-driven forms and custom pages with multiple languages enabled by admins and set by your users.

We have added the ability to easily add files containing multiple languages that are supported in a model-driven app using standard resx web resource files. You can build multi-language support directly into your custom page by uploading the resource files to you solution, add the file you are authoring onto your page and use a standard PowerFX function to render the content of a control in the supported languages of your model-driven app.

The steps include:
1. Setting up your Power App environment to use localized languages.
2. Adding your localized content in a resx file to your solution.
3. Add your authoring language to your page by uploading the resource in studio.
4. Use PowerFX to localize strings on controls in your page.
5. Use preview to view right-to-left orientation.

To get familiar with setting up your Power App environment to support multiple language it’s always a good idea to review how to enable multiple languages that you are planning to use in your model-driven app with custom pages. See Regional and language options for your environment for further details and instructions.

Adding resx files to can be done from make.powerapps.com, selecting solutions and adding the files as a web resource with the appropriate language associated to the file.

After adding the files to your solution open your custom page and add the file with the language you are authoring in the Page designer on make.powerapps.com.

Next you just set the property of a label to a localized string using PowerFX functions.

Save and publish your page and application.  Localized content based on the PowerApp user personal settings or admin locale settings for the environment will now render on your custom page.

We also support right-to-left languages that will render content in the correct orientation.  You can test or view your page in PowerApps by selecting the settings option on the page, select upcoming features and turn on the option to enable right-to-left testing in preview.
