We recently performed an update on our Dynamics 365 organization and once that was done, I encountered a very peculiar issue.
When I logged into the Dynamics 365 instance, I was greeted with a tab which looked like this:
15 Questions to Identify the Gaps in Your CRM
The Organization loaded in the new window which popped up and in the tab on which it was supposed to come, a message which looked like above, came up.
This was an issue.
First of all, it was annoying that the Organization loaded in the new window. Secondly, if I tried to open a different section of the Dynamics 365 instance I was not able to.
For example, if I wanted to go to the Administration section of my Organization, I kept landing on the App Page.
To go to the Administration Page, first I have to click on Settings/Advanced Settings:
Once I click on that, I should be presented with the Administration Page mode. Instead, I was presented with the App Page.
The URL had an “isappmoderedirect=true” embedded in the URL. I tried changing the property to false and unfortunately, I couldn’t.
The Organization was opened in “Application Mode” because of this property in the URL.
What is Application Mode? – When this mode is enabled, model-driven apps in Dynamics 365 can be opened in a browser without menus, navigation, or toolbars. Hiding these parts of the browser causes model-driven apps in Dynamics 365 to appear like a separate application rather than a website.
That was the reason why the Organization kept opening up in a new window. To disable opening up in this mode, follow the following steps:
- Go to https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/
- Enter your credentials.
- In the environment tab, open the environment on which you want to make the change.
- Click on Settings.
- Click on Product.
- In the dropdown which opened up, click on Behavior.
- In the Behavior settings window, make sure the “Open in application mode” is set to off (Look at the below screenshot). Once that is done, click on Save.
- After the changes, the Organization will open in regular mode.
