Power App writeback in Power BI with Smartsheet - powerbi

I'm trying to use Power App embedded in Power BI to writeback data source from Smartsheet. However, I was not able to choose any of the sheets that has been listed from the newly created form in Power App and the "Add Field" option was disabled. I wonder if I need extra Smartsheet connector in this case or it is because I don't have admin access to Smartsheet.

I've never personally used Power Apps with Smartsheet, but I'd suggest you start by reviewing the following info.
Info about the integration between Power Apps and Smartsheet (including capabilities of integration):
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/smartsheet
Step-by-step walkthrough for configuring the integration between Power Apps and Smartsheet:
https://www.theblueflamelabs.com/microsoft-powerapps-and-smartsheet-integration
If this info doesn't unblock you, then I'd suggest you ask a question in the Smartsheet Community:
https://community.smartsheet.com/post/question/apps-and-integrations
(Stack Overflow is a place to ask coding how-to (Smartsheet API) questions, whereas the Smartsheet Community is the place to ask questions about using the app (where questions don't necessarily involve coding or the Smartsheet API).

Using the power platform for a multi tenant web application

I need to build an application that mostly displays grids of DB information, and drill down edit forms. It has a few "analytics" on it, but nothing fancy. The application must be multi tenant and hold a load of a few thousand concurrent, external users, that authenticate using SSO/JWT.
Is the Microsoft power platform a viable platform for this type of solution?
Thanks.
Building such kind of applications is the main purpose of Power Apps.
Build apps in hours—not months—that easily connect to data, use Excel-like expressions to add logic, and run on the web, iOS, and Android devices.

Cannot Find "Popularity Trends" and "Popularity and Search Reports"

According to Microsoft, the old Web Analytics in SharePoint 2010 is replaced in SharePoint 2013 by Popularity trends and it can by found under Site Settings as explained here and here
However, I cannot find it in my farm.
Google provided me with this usefule article on how to troubleshoot Popularity Trends issues.
But even after I applied every single step in the above article, I still cannot find the feature under site settings
Also I checked reporting service as demonstrated here and it was Active.
Even after I deactivated/activated it, nothing changed
The below is the expected view of site settings
While the below is my farm view
This is because Reporting feature was not activated in the site collection level. Go to Site Settings, click on Site collection features under Site Collection Administration section. Activate the Reporting feature now you can be able to see the Popularity Trends option in the document library interface.

How to create web services for uploading image in drupal 7

Hello I am new in web services(Drupal 7) I want to know to create the web services for uploading images.I searched but could not find.I am using REST services.Please help me.
Using Drupal to upload images
Since Drupal 7 image handling is part of Drupal core, and there are responsive themes designed for smart phones, you don't need additional contributed modules to upload images from within drupal as a content contributor and your phone as a web browser.
Here is a short step by step:
Choose Administration > Add content > [Content type].
The image field will be displayed in the list of fields once you've
added it to the content type (see above). Click 'Browse', then
select and upload the desired image.
Enter alternate text to improve accessibility and optimize it for
search engines.
Save the article.
Images can be added and removed from the node's Edit tab. If the
node is deleted, all associated images are deleted with it.
Using Android to upload images
I believe this option would start as an architecture design decision and a price point. For example, you could use the Drupal Services module to open up REST and XML-RPC options from the drupal platform to your Android application. Next, you could choose to develop a native app for android to upload images into drupal's database for use in various applications. Or, you might consider a jQuery Mobile browser app that might be much simpler and less costly to build.

Realtime Interfacing with Dynamics NAV via Webservices

I want to write a .NET application that will interface in realtime with Dynamics NAV 2009 and 2013. The application will have to read and update entities such as customers and stock items.
Using the provided webservices seem to be the best candidate as a point for integration, and I've tried some basic tests reading, updating and creating items using webservices based on Pages and a .net client.
Unfortunately, I am very new to Dynamics, and I have some questions that probably reflect that lack of experience.
First - webservices can expose either Page or Codeunits. Is Page the correct option to use for interfacing to say - create a customer?
Secondly - My understanding is that Dynamics NAV is rarely deployed without customisation. Would a typical customisation in NAV e.g an addition of a field involve changing a standard Page, and will this change then be reflected in the webservice definition?
You are right - given your requirements, webservices are probably the best option for interfacing with NAV.
Regarding your first question: page web services know how to handle concurrency, and, thanks to the way Visual Studio encapsulates them, expose rich types that you can interact with from your .NET code. All the basic CRUD operations can be carried out using the exposed methods. For a more detailed comparison between codeunit web services and page web services, please refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd355398.aspx.
I think most developers choose not to publish the normal pages (the ones aimed at the NAV Windows Client; previously known as the Role Tailored Client), but instead, create separate, tweaked pages for publishing as a web service. But, if you prefer, I guess you could add your custom field to the standard page and publish that as a web service.
Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

User customizable portal software

I am interested in portal software that allows a user to customize their experience by:
* Lay out the portlets as desired on the page
* Select which portlets to display
Any recommendations? Thanks!
I should say Liferay is the best when it comes to Portal with personalization. It provides
1) User pages (private level)
2) User pages (public level, shared with others)
3) Communities (Now sites, group of pages, shared with several users)
4) Themes, color schemes (personalized to page level)
5) Page layouts (personlized to page level)
6) Permissions (can be set with level portal, site, group, user, page, portlet)

I can help you with Microsoft related technologies, maybe someone else can complement with other vendors' \ Open source.
If your are using ASP.net 2.0 and above, it has the concept of "Web Parts" that allows a developer to build configurable, reusable components. This is a framework, so you still need to develop a solution using the concepts offered by the framework.
If you are not interested in developing the solution, MS has a product called "SharePoint Foundation" which is a FREE product (also has paid versions that are more enterprise oriented) that build on top of ASP.net, and provides implementation for those concepts (among many other features).
In SharePoint, a developer creates web part just like in asp.net, SP also allows easy creation of sites and pages. a user can add web parts to a page. web parts are distributed via the web parts gallery.
SharePoint also ships with a number of web parts, and there's a large community of SharePoint developers where you can find free open source web parts.
Also, in SP every user can personalize the layout of web parts in a page as he likes (you can disable this if you don't want to allow it).
In the Java JSR-286 world, you should try Liferay or eXo Platform. These are really the best open source portals. They do what you are requiring.
And you can also take a look at IBM Websphere Portal, or one of the multiple portals Oracle has bought.
