Deep dive on how to manipulate non-text data with Microsoft Flow by John Liu

Abstract:

Workflow systems have been with us for a long time, allowing us to push numbers, text or even structured (XML/JSON) data around.  Those types of data are important, but this session isn’t about those things.

This session is an advanced look at Microsoft Flow, laser focused on a special use case – Flow’s ability to move binary data.  The session is loaded with practical examples of why we want to become very familiar with moving, converting, and transforming non-text data.

  • We’ll look at how we can send various forms of data into various business systems via Flow
  • Tricks about how to figure out what we are working with
  • How to embed it into HTML and return PDF files
  • Beyond text, beyond images to sound and movies

When: 2/13/2018 2PM PST (NOTE TIME CHANGE!!!)

Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Flow – Better Together by Jerry Weinstock

A fast-paced presentation and live demo using Microsoft Flow to extend the functionality of Dynamics 365. There will be an overview of Flow, what it is, how it can fit into your technology mix, and how to get started. Then I will demo several different applications to using Flow with Dynamics 365. I will peel back the technology and show you how the Flows work (within the constraints of a 60 minute session). After this session you will be able to jump into Flow and start experimenting. This session is perfect for those people who want to know what Flow is about, how to get started or may have tried to make a Flow but couldn’t get it to work.

Unleash Security Patterns in Power BI – Reza Rad

Security is different from Sharing, Sharing is about sharing the entire content with others, security is about authorizing different views of the content to others. In this session we go through many different Row Level Security patterns; Static Row Level Security, Dynamic Row Level Security, and many variations of the dynamic RLS, such as giving manager access as well as employee access, you will learn about user profile security scenarios, and hierarchical access levels. This session shows you how DAX and Power BI security comes together to play an important part of a Power BI project lifecycle: Row Level Security.
