#2 Publisher in Power Platform

Ram Prakash Profile Picture Ram Prakash 5,055

Introduction:

 

As per Out of Behavior, Power platform will provide default prefix for custom entities as new_ or cr608_. To create custom prefix we need to create a publisher so that we can use our custom prefix while creating custom entities or custom fields in custom tables or OOB tables.

 

Implementation Steps:

 

1. Navigate to https://make.powerapps.com

 

2. Click on Solutions

 

3. Then Click on New Solution then select New Publisher Button

In this Demo am selected my Prefix as demo

    @mjbcruz  to answer your question we can create multiple Publishers in an organization.

     

    But as per @EricRegnier  its good to have only one publisher in an organization.

    Hi @mjbcruz,

    I would suggest to always use the same publisher within you organisation especially if you’re working with managed solutions in your non-dev instances. 
    If you’re sharing common components, still with the same publisher, have a core or common environment where these changes occur and then a managed solution containing the common components is installed on all the other instances including other dev instances that might be dependent on those common components. I suggest to go through this documentation and related pages to have a proper environment and ALM strategy: https://docs.microsoft.com/power-platform/alm/

    When do we create new publisher? Does it makes sense to have 1 publisher per department, if a department usually shares app and data? If I have a set of common solutions and data that will be shared across the company does it make sense to have 1 solution for this shared data?
    When do I decide when to create a new publisher?
