Leave a comment

In this post, we will look at the Power Apps Maker functionality to create a 3-screen app from a Dataverse table. Go to https://make.powerapps.com/ and select Create->Dataverse:

Ensure Dataverse is selected under Connections and click Create:

Now choose a table. We will select Accounts:

And click Connect in the bottom right:

Our app is created. Click the Play button in the top right:

The app is launched. We see some pieces of functionality, including:

  • Refresh button
  • Sort button (alphabetical order)
  • + button to add a new account
  • Search box to type in an account to filter the results
  • List of accounts showing 3 fields – Name, Phone, Location

On selecting an account, we get the account page, where we can view, delete and edit the account:

Creating a new account looks like this:

We get a decent base app scaffolded for us, and from here we can customize the app as we need to.
