Power Apps

 Introduction

                    PowerApps is a suite of services, connectors and a data platform that provides a rapid application development environment to allow you to build custom applications (Apps) for your business needs.

                 PowerApps provides the flexibility to create business applications within a few clicks. We don’t need to have the highly skilled staff or developers to create a simple application.  The PowerApps platform provides a fast and consistent user experience to the end users, developers and administrators. 


Benefits:

                You can quickly create an App using Out of the box templates.

          Built-in connectors allow you to connect data from many systems.

          Document sharing is easy and you can share PowerApps across your entire organisation as simply as sharing a document.

          Reduces development time and costs


Power Apps is a high-productivity development platform for business apps, and has four major components:


1.Canvas apps

            Canvas App is no code/low code business app with which you can design the app by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas. Canvas app is used to build mobile apps with various functionalities.

These apps are great for:

Pulling multiple data sources together into one app,

Data from SharePoint lists, Dynamics 365, Office 365, SQL databases, and many more can be combined into one user interface,

Creating a completely custom UI,

Providing a user friendly – mobile-first application for your users,

More flexibility with development of functions and controls.

2.Model-driven apps

        Model-driven apps start with your data model – building up from the shape of your core business data and processes in the Dataverse to model forms, views, and other components. Model-driven apps automatically generate great UI that is responsive across devices.


        Model-driven app design doesn’t require code and the apps you make can be simple or very complex.  With model-driven apps, much of the layout is determined for you and largely designated by the components you add to the app.


3.Portals

               Portals help you create external-facing websites that allow users outside your organization to sign in with a wide variety of identities, create and view data in Dataverse, or even browse content anonymously.
