Creating and Configuring Power Apps

Lesson 1/11 | Study Time: 12 Min

Power Apps is a suite of tools that allows you to create custom business applications that run in the cloud. Using Power Apps, you can connect to a wide range of data sources, including Microsoft 365, and build applications that are tailored to the specific needs of your organization.

Here are the steps on how to create and configure Power Apps:


  1. Sign in to Power Apps. You can sign in to Power Apps using your Microsoft account.

  2. Create a new app. To create a new app, click the "Create" button and select "Blank app."

  3. Add a canvas. A canvas is the area where you will build your app. To add a canvas, click the "Add" button and select "Canvas."

  4. Add controls. Controls are the elements that you
    will use to build your app. To add controls, click the "Insert" button
    and select the control that you want to add.

  5. Configure the controls. Once you have added a
    control, you can configure it by setting its properties. To configure a
    control, click the control and then click the "Properties" tab.

  6. Connect to data. To connect your app to data, you
    need to create a data source. To create a data source, click the "Data"
    button and select "New data source."

  7. Build your app. Once you have added controls and
    configured them, you can start building your app. To build your app, you
    can add more controls, configure the controls, and connect your app to
    data.

  8. Publish your app. Once you have finished building your app, you can publish it. To publish your app, click the "Publish" button.

Here are some tips for creating and configuring Power Apps:


  • Start with a simple app. When you are first
    starting out, it is a good idea to start with a simple app. This will
    help you to learn the basics of Power Apps without getting overwhelmed.

  • Use pre-built templates. Power Apps comes with a
    number of pre-built templates that you can use to get started. These
    templates can save you time and effort, and they can also help you to
    learn how to use Power Apps.

  • Use the community forum. The Power Apps community
    forum is a great place to get help and advice from other Power Apps
    users. You can ask questions, find solutions to problems, and share your
    own experiences.

  • Get certified. Microsoft offers a number of
    certifications that can demonstrate your skills in using Power Apps.
    Certifications can help you to advance your career and demonstrate your
    expertise to potential employers.
