Power Apps Intermediate Training

Course description

Microsoft Power Apps became available in 2016. Since then, it has continually added features and functionality for technical personnel and citizen developers alike. Inevitably, developers want to accomplish very specific tasks, and those tasks do not fit neatly into a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level class. Power Apps – Enhanced Skills is a course based upon customer needs and requests. All are invited to take it, as long as the basics have been mastered. This course contains ten chapters covering a range of topics. These include: Uploading Files is a common requirement. Learn which controls and functions are required to upload a single file or multiple files to a data source, including SharePoint. Pop-up windows, similar to dialog boxes, are another favorite. Creating them is not obvious but it can be done. Canvas apps can interact with data from Microsoft’s Dataverse. Model-driven apps are not always required. Learn how to create a table based on another table and then interact with it from a canvas app. Managing that data is the next step. This is often done with a variety of functions, like Patch, ForAll, Table, Lookup, and more. Each function is given thorough coverage. Taking data from a screen and sending as a PDF document via email is almost a necessity now so techniques to do this are covered. When those PDFs need to be sent to a SharePoint site, a slightly separate set of skills are needed, and this process is explained in detail. Users who work with complex variables often need to merge them. The functions required to do this are covered as well, using Collect, ClearCollect, and others. Delegation issues eventually challenge all developers of all levels. Learn what delegation is, its limits, and how to push past those limits. Responsive apps adjust themselves to the dimensions of the mobiles devices on which they run. Doing this properly requires understanding containers in containers, initial screen properties, and other issues. Watch how these challenges are handled. When Power Apps need to talk to each other, this may be done by passing parameters in a URL. Learn how this works and make your own apps talk to each other!
