Building Power Portals Pro — a developer-grade alternative to Power Pages. React/Blazor + Fluent UI on Dataverse. Custom portals, flat-rate licensing.

[Steven Rasmussen @StevenDRaz]

The easiest line in your budget request: portal, $349/month, flat, unlimited users.

No per-seat math to defend. No growth penalty to forecast. No capacity add-ons to explain.

Audit every write your portal makes: one server-side interceptor.

Power Portals Pro's operation pipeline is yours to extend — stamp fields, enforce rules, log changes. No fork required.

Vendor onboarding: suppliers submit compliance forms, upload certificates, track approval — files and records straight into Dataverse.

Power Portals Pro's file grid and typed editors do the heavy lifting.

Multi-select choice columns are miserable to filter in raw FetchXml (hand-built contain-values).

In PowerPortalsPro.Dataverse.Linq they're a normal, typed LINQ condition. Free + OSS.

Click a chart segment, drill into the records behind it.

Power Portals Pro charts fire click events for exactly this — dashboards that navigate, not just decorate.

The 30-day trial is the full product pointed at your own Dataverse environment — not a canned sandbox.

If a real portal isn't taking shape on day one, you'll know early. That's the point.

Your Dataverse views are already portal configuration.

Power Portals Pro grids render any view — columns, filters, sort order — exactly as defined. Change the view, the grid follows. No redeploy.

Everything under this account. Everything above this business unit.

Dataverse hierarchy queries (FetchXml above/under) are first-class in PowerPortalsPro.Dataverse.Linq — no recursive fetches, no manual tree walks. Free + OSS.

Your portal speaks English. Your users don't.

Power Portals Pro localizes every label, view, and choice into any language — and machine-translates the whole site in minutes to get you started.

Blazor Server, WASM, or Auto — Power Portals Pro runs on whichever hosting model fits your app.

Same components, same metadata-driven behavior. Change your mind later without rewriting the portal.

Grant applications: applicants submit forms, attach documents, track status. Reviewers work the records in Dataverse.

Power Portals Pro covers the portal side — editors, file grid, auth — before you write any custom UI.

"Show me MY records" — without hunting down the user's GUID.

PowerPortalsPro.Dataverse.Linq supports FetchXml's eq-userid and eq-businessid natively — current user and current business unit as query conditions. Free + OSS.

Continuous updates are part of the $349/mo.

New components and fixes arrive as a package update — pull the new version like any dependency. No re-platforming, no upgrade project.

Five years from now: a folder of exported portal config, or a Git history where every change was reviewed?

Portals are long-lived. Power Portals Pro means you own the code.

Parent record, child records, one form.

Sub-grids in Power Portals Pro bind related Dataverse tables automatically — and save with the form in a single atomic transaction.

Compare two columns of the same row — FetchXml's valueof, written as LINQ:

.Where(o => o.ActualValue != o.EstimatedValue)

Column-to-column conditions, typed and compile-checked. Free + OSS.
