I had originally created a Microsoft Access Web App (AWA) that worked well--however, I learned that support was going away and was told to create a PowerApp. Since my workgroup is desktop-first, I'm having trouble learning how to create/customize an app with the tablet view since the only option is 'blank' (there isn't yet a way to generate a tablet-oriented app from existing data). Also, in AWA, relatable tables were easy to use. Here, I tried adding a multi-select picklist, and only the label carried over, not the form element.
It seems like the learning curve for PowerApps is pretty steep, but the payoff pretty large. Does anyone have any wonderful resources for learning that they would like to share? I've been trying to read everything I can in this community, but it seems like the majority of people posting are much further along in their journey.
Thanks for all of your help!
Hi
Learning PowerApps is always not really straightforward but is more on "objective-oriented".
It means you need to know what do you want to create or make.
1. UI is very easy as we do not need to write HTML or CSS
2. All the Gallery, TextInput, Label, DatePicker, Dropdowns, etc. are there.
3. I would suggest that you need to know
- what to be created, then look for Tutorial of the relevant topics
- Try to design your own UI (there is no template for special UI like other code-less platform)
- Then starts thinking of is it a Static or Dynamic Apps
- Where do you want to store your data and retrieve
- etc.
