Administrator
Can maintain application data and deactivate a project through a typed, server-checked operation.

Project lifecycle and consultant operations on one Dataverse platform.
The Modalus Code App brings project stages, development-application consultant costs, consultant sourcing and performance history together, with Dataverse custom APIs enforcing the write and deactivation boundary.

What the platform actually covers
Projects, consultants and performance - not a generic records app.
The application is a connected operating model for project information and consultant decisions, with distinct views for review, maintenance and sourcing.
| Workspace | Delivered capability | Authoritative record |
|---|---|---|
| Project Features | Combined search, project detail, Phase A/B/C views, validated data entry and controlled deactivation. | Project Feature with server-maintained calculated values. |
| DA consultant costs | Discipline and package rows, consultant lookup, fee/status context and transactional parent totals. | Normalised child rows linked to the project. |
| Consultant register | Discipline, capability and location sourcing, contact maintenance and controlled CSV import. | Consultant table in Dataverse. |
| Performance | Five scored dimensions, overall result, assessor/date context and project-linked history. | Consultant Performance linked to consultant and project. |
Security is enforced below the interface
The button is not the security boundary.
The app resolves capabilities for the user, but Dataverse privileges and server-side custom API checks remain authoritative.
Project Manager
Can create and update project and consultant records, but cannot deactivate projects.
Read-Only
Can search and review project, consultant and performance information without write controls.
Unassigned
The app stops before loading business data when the capability resolver finds no approved role.
Release boundary: build, automated tests, Solution Checker, release packages and Administrator-host workflows are verified in Development. Named Project Manager and Read-Only UAT, remaining client mappings and managed promotion to approved target environments are still required.
Engineering choices
Modern interface, governed platform.
The code-app pattern adds interface control without creating a second backend or bypassing the Power Platform delivery path.
Front end
- React + TypeScriptComponent-based UI and typed application logic for richer navigation and task-focused layouts.
- Fluent UIMicrosoft-aligned controls and a familiar enterprise interaction language.
- Generated servicesDataverse models and service boundaries keep the code connected to the platform schema.
Platform boundary
- Custom APIsProject saves, consultant saves and capability resolution execute through server-side operations.
- DeactivationDeactivation is an Administrator-only action; hard delete is not exposed in the app.
- Solution ALMRelease packages and environment promotion remain part of the handover, not an afterthought.
