The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Free assessment by Microsoft

The EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation is scheduled to take effect on May 25, 2018. Designed to serve as a uniform set of data protection laws within the EU, it will become law alongside the BDSG in Germany. This means that all affected companies will need to make extensive adjustments to the new legal landscape.

Here are the most important impending changes:

  • Expanded executive responsibility
  • Effective application of data protection law based on increased liability and fines
  • “Privacy by design” and “privacy by default” will become basic principles of data protection law
  • Data Protection Impact Assessments
  • Expanded obligation to report data incidents
  • Expanded documentation regulations (including with regard to information security management systems, or ISMS)
  • Expanded citizens’ rights
  • Modified role for data protection officers

Since there won’t be any transitional period as they take effect, you need to get your company ready for these new laws sooner rather than later.

“The data protection authorities are already preparing to intensify their auditing activities once the GDPR becomes law in May 2018,” warns Thomas Kranig, president of the Bavarian Data Protection Authority.

“Biding your time instead of getting ready for these changes is a very risky move.”

How is your Dynamics 365 environment doing?

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls. My goal was to build a new PCF control and get into coding of PCF controls as fast as possible. Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete...

Regarding SPFieldMultiLineText (Add HTML/URL content to a field) programmatically

I recently tried so set some HTML content in a SharePoint list column of type SPFieldMultiLineText. My first approach was this piece of code: SPFieldMultiLineText field = item.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName( "Associated Documents" ) as SPFieldMultiLineText; StringBuilder docList = new StringBuilder(); docList.Append( " " ); foreach (DataRow docRow in addDocs) { DataRow[] parent = dr.Table.DataSet.Tables[0].Select( "DOK_ID=" + docRow[ "DOK_MGD_ID" ].ToString()); if (parent != null && parent.Length > 0) { docList.AppendFormat( " {1} " , parent[0][ "FilePath" ].ToString(), parent[0][ "Title" ].ToString()); } } if (docList.Length > 0) { // remove trailing tag docList.Remove(docList.Length-5, 5); } docList.Append( " " ); string newValue = docList.ToString(); item[field.Title] = newValue; What this code does is to get all associated documents to the main document and to add these docu...

XrmToolBox: AutoNumberUpdater - new StateCode filter

Mayank Pujara's AutoNumberUpdater plugin for the XrmToolBox is a great tool to add missing auto number values to an auto number field for an entity/table. In his blog you can find more details about the original version of his plugin: https://mayankp.wordpress.com/2021/12/09/xrmtoolbox-autonumberupdater-new-tool/ For my purposes I had to update accounts with missing account numbers, but in my use case this should only be done for those accounts that have the status value "Active".   As this plugin did not have this feature I quickly implemented it and Mayank merged my changes to his plugin source code. You can download the new version 1.2024.0.1 in the Tool Library of the XrmToolBox.
