Canvas or Mobile app.

Posted on by 720

I have a PowerApps canvas app that i have embedded in to a SharePoint page, This app has many different buttons for different forms and works great. 

 

I've now been asked if i can share this same app to mobile phones, I know i can but they layout would be canvas and not very user-friendly, is there away of having PowerApps change layout for mobile view?

    I ended up using guide and it worked well, Slight change as some data needs to be moved that is not mentioned.

    Hi @amyharkus86 

    You might want to take a look at using containers to create a responsive layout. It does involve a bit of work, but this is the official documented approach to building a single app that works accross multiple form factors.

    @amyharkus86 Then it's not possible. My suggestion would be to go for another Mobile App.

    @Bilakanti It does, yes but its just not very user friendly, its the design of the forms are made with using them on a laptop and is quite small on a mobile to use. 

    Thank you for your suggestions.

    @amyharkus86 even tablet mode should work in mobile, in landscape mode.

    @Bilakanti although its embedded in SharePoint its not a SharePoint app, I have made it within PowerApps using the tablet view

    @amyharkus86 I think it should work, because as it's SharePoint app, it's not targeted for tablet mode.
