Microsoft Power Apps – Creation of individual apps.

PART OF THE MICROSOFT POWER PLATFORM:

Microsoft Power Apps provides an environment where you can quickly create and publish custom mobile apps or web apps to meet your business needs. This way, applications are created in hours instead of months.

By using Power Apps, you can quickly create custom business applications that connect to your business data, either stored on the underlying data platform (Common Data Service) or in various online and local data sources (SharePoint, Excel, Office 365, Dynamics 365, SQL Server, etc.)

You do not start from scratch, but can choose from all templates and functions. In addition, no special knowledge or skills are required for the “low-code application designer”. After all, these are low-code applications. So Power Apps is aimed at both developers and non-technical users. Companies without development know-how can easily create apps that give employees and partners access to company data.

Examples
For example, create an app for editing service cases, a budget tracker or a product showcase.

No need for programming knowledge

With Microsoft Power Apps, app development becomes possible for everyone. The point-and-click or drag-and-drop method in the App Designer makes it very intuitive to use, so new apps can be designed in minutes to hours. Furthermore, the application is designed in the conventional Microsoft design. No programming skills are required, so even non-developers can use Power Apps.

Integration into Microsoft products

Dynamics 365 applications such as Dynamics 365 Business Central also use the underlying data platform (Common Data Service) that Power Apps use to store and protect data. This allows you to create apps with Power Apps and Common Data Service directly with the core business data already in use in Dynamics 365 without the need for integration.

Extensibility for developers

Power Apps is also an extensible platform that allows professional developers to seamlessly extend app functionality with Azure features and customize connectors to on-premises systems, for example.

There is something for everyone in the Microsoft Power Apps application: Either you start on a canvas and benefit from numerous existing functions or you create the app using a data model or templates.

Canvas Apps

With a canvas app, you design and create a business app on a “canvas” in the Power Apps Studio. You design the app by selecting and placing elements. You can include a variety of control features such as cameras or location awareness.

There is no need to write code in a traditional programming language such as C#. This process in the App Designer feels like creating PowerPoint slides. You can also create expressions, such as those used in Excel, for example to specify logic and work with data. You are therefore completely responsible for the layout yourself.

View data sources
Model-driven Apps

The model-driven apps start with your data model. Forms, views and other components are modelled using data from your core business and your processes in Common Data Service.

Model-driven apps automatically generate powerful user interfaces that can be used across devices. Unlike canvas app development, where the designer has full control over the app layout, model-driven apps are designed with much of the layout determined by the components you add to the app.
Portal Apps
Portals help you create external websites that allow users outside your organization to do the following steps:
- Login
- Anonymous search of contents
- Creation and display of data in the Common Data Service
Users can reuse page designs through templates and add forms and views to view key data from Common Data Service and publish it to users.

Microsoft Power Apps Connectors

Data is the core of canvas apps. The data sources can be of different nature and origin. A connector or data source can provide tables or actions.

- Common Data Service
- Cloudspeicher
- Dynamics AX
- Excel
- Microsoft Translator
- Office 365 Outlook
- Office 365-User

Power Apps can be used for a wide variety of scenarios. We have put together some use cases for you:

Item price correction

For example, you can build a small application in a short time that allows you to correct the prices of items. For example, when raw material prices fall or rise.

Time recording of a department

In just a few clicks, build an application that allows your service technicians to record their times on site at the customer.
