Cannot display FinOps virtual entitiy data via a power portal basic form

Posted on by SBRO

Hi,

Currently I am working on a power portal. To start of, I have a working List of all the records in a FinOps/D365FO data entity. The data entity is connected to Dataverse via a Virtual Entity. When I go to the page with URL: https://######.powerappsportals.com/###### the List with FinOps data is displaying just fine.

However when I use "Web page for Detail View" to go to a detail page of a list item, I cannot get the web page to display to the FinOps Data via a Basic form. The form shows empty fields. The URL looks something like this: https://######.powerappsportals.com/######/viewdetails/?id=00005887-0000-0000-0000-005001000000. Which makes me think that with all the zeros, somehow having a basic form display virtual entity data is not possible.

What can I do to fix this? When using standard dataverse tables, the drilling down from list to form via "Web page for details View" works automatically.

Hi @SBRO

I assume you are using Virtual connectors in Dataverse. Can you confirm?

In fact I used Finance and Operations Virtual Entity. I followed these instructions: https://dynamicspost.com/virtual-entity-enable/

Hi @SBRO

Under the Configure virtual entity - Set the refresh field to yes

Also, I suspect, the connection has to be shared with everyone in the org

Can you see if you can find "Shared with Org"

Hope it helps.

Thank you for your reply. I set the refresh setting but the issue is not fixed yet. Can you indicate where I can find "Shared with Org" and what I need to do with it?

Moreover I don't think it is a security issue because I can see all the data I want to see in the portal. It more an issue where I want to see the details of a record in a list that is giving me issues. How do I access a record instead of just a list on a portal?

Hi @SBRO

I have tested this with a virtual entity SQL connector. The only issue I figured out was sharing with org. Then it was all good. I can see your data exists in the dataverse section.

Try accessing from Dataverse tables > Data Tab and see if you can access it.

Hope it helps.

Hi Ragavanrajan. Thanks again for taking the time. Unfortunately I still don't understand where to find "Shared with Org" and what to do with it. This is what I see in the Data Tab:
For what it is worth, when I make a Model driven app for the same entity. I can browse the list, open a single record, even drill down to related child records and open those child records as well without any additional setup.
