Hello Techies/Readers,

  
This blog will teach you How to connect Business Central Data in Power Apps.
 
Check below step by step process.
 
Step 1:- 
 
Go to the home.dynamics.com and then Open PowerApps.
 
DynamicPower101_0-1609254231161.png

 

Step 2:-
 
Now as you can see in below image, we are on the home page of PowerApps, if you have good knowledge of PowerApps then you can directly create PowerApps by clicking on the options under "Make Your Own App" and if you are beginner then skip this step and follow Step 3.
 

DynamicPower101_1-1609254231163.png

 

Step 3:-
 
If you want to connect your data with in-built Microsoft provided sample app then choose "Other Data Sources".

 Step 4:-
 
Now click on + New Connection and select "Business Central".

DynamicPower101_4-1609254231158.png

 

Step 5:-
 
As you can see in below image, we have created connection with business central, now PowerApps asking us to choose the Environment (Data Set).
 
DynamicPower101_5-1609254231166.png

 

Step 6:-
 
After selecting the environment PowerApps asking us to choose entity to create demo app. For this example, we have chosen vendors Entity/Table.

DynamicPower101_6-1609254231164.png

That's it, we are done with our first sample app, now see how it looks like.

 

Output: As you can see in below image, PowerApps created one demo application for us with the entity vendor.
 
DynamicPower101_7-1609254231167.png

 

This one was demo app where I demonstrate to connect Business central data with Power Apps, now based on that I have created one proper Power App in which I have used Business center Role center, List and Card page of Vendors, Purchase orders and Purchase Invoice and Inventory modules. You can say Business Central Important modules integrated with Power Apps.
I know you are thinking that how we can integrate this, correct?? don't worry I will explain this in my next Blog meanwhile you just checkout this exclusive sneak peek.

Within our organisation we have a number of Power Apps developers who have learned their trade by working on voluntary projects that solve different business and social challenges. It's always great to learn by applying yourself to a specific goal, and it's even better to be able to give something back in the process.

The advantage with Power Apps is that you can produce solutions so quickly that it's worthwhile even if it only solves a niche problem.

In this post I'm going to describe one of those niche solutions, the problem it solves, and the decisions that went into designing it. Design is important to us both technically and visually – we want our user experience to be great, and as a result our solutions often don't look like PowerApps.

Sometimes, when we add data cards columns in form, then for better user interface we need to adjust its X and Y position which is very tedious task. Or, we can used snap column feature. but that didn`t so much helpful.

 

So, to solve this type of issue, there is a way. 

  1. Create a blank custom data card.
  2. Create text input field within the new custom data card, you can create multiple fields based on your requirement and puts all in the same custom data card (you can set its width and height accordingly, as per your design). You can drag and set your UI on within that custom data card.
  3. Now, on the field data card sets its 'Update' setting to textinput.text and the hide this field data card.

 

That is the simplest and best way to adjust your UI of the form.

 

Thanks,

Prashant

In this article I will show you how to shoot a video in PowerApps. I will pass the data collected in a collection from a Camera control and a Microphone control from the canvas app to an Azure Storage blob via Flow. I will then use those to reference to an external API and finally create the video.

But it is possible, with a little bit of extra effort. This blog post shows you how to add double-click functionality to a button in PowerApps. At the end, a video is shown for a more visual explanation.

Not to long ago, Microsoft introduced the column type “Location” in SharePoint Online. This is a great addition for business solutions. From a PowerApps perspective, the usefulness is limited to showing data (Country/Region, State, City, Postal Code and Street).

 

So is it not possible at all to update a location field from PowerApps?

It is recommended to update or (re)publish your app every six month. Click here to go to the related webpage. To be honest, I do not know if this it true for SharePoint forms (I assume it is), but for apps it is recommended.

 

So how does one know which apps are not updated or (re)published in six months? Well, PowerShell to the rescue!

4 years ago I had written a TechNet Guru Award in the SharePoint category for writing an article on 'SharePoint Online: A no-code Solution to Create and Customize Access Service app using Access 2013'. Now I am going to migrate this Access App to PowerApps.  There is some urgency when it comes to migrating Access Apps because Microsoft has already stopped creation of new Access-based apps in SharePoint Online one June 2017 and will shut down any remaining apps by April 2018. For more information you can refer to the 'Updating the Access Services in SharePoint Roadmap'. You can also refer to the 'Introduction to PowerApps for Access Web Apps' developers document.

 

In this section I will focus on building the core design of the PowerApp and build the View Forms.

PowerApps is so much more than just a web based form and this blog will demonstrate that first hand. Here we are building a powerful tablet app where users can watch the planets of our Solar System revolve around the Sun.
