Hi, is enough with Power Apps for Microsoft 365 included in Office 365 E5?

The solution uses Dataflex Pro (or Common Data Service) to actually store the data. Unfortunately, that isn't included in the Office 365 license.

Good morning community!  One of the challenges that I see with the Return to workplace application right now is the inability to provide arrival times when staff go through the screening/attestation workflow in the app, when attempting to secure a reservation.  I'd like to be able to have three distinct arrival windows that staff can select from:

1) 7:30 am - 8:30 am ET

2) 8:30 am - 9:30 am ET

3) 9:30 am - 10:30 am ET

Similar to the being able to manage the building occupancy levels (% of total seats), I'd like to be able to set a threshold for arrivals, so that our reception areas are not being over run with staff arriving at the same time, and having to wait for excessive time to sign-in, get their temperature taken, secure their PPE, and then have to stand in yet another line to take an elevator ride.  

Has anyone thought their way through this type of challenge here?

Thank you for this. We are considering such a feature for the roadmap. We are looking at having limited building "slots" or "seats" that support social distancing.  We will consider preassigning #slots per predefined entry time so that it creates the staggering you suggest.

Great looking app but the requirement to need licenses for CDS makes it very costly.  Our company has everyone on E5 licenses.

Can this be modified to use SharePoint as the backend?

[birdman]

The current supported solution requires CDS for scale, business rules, performance, and security groups.

Ran into an issue on Step 5: Embed the Power BI report in the model-driven app. Item #4 in this step says to create a new solution, export, unpack and update the form XML file. If I create a new solution, and follow the steps, when unpack it, it does not contain a form XML file.  What am I missing here. Thanks!
