How to Make an Identical App Pulling From a Different Data Set

Posted on by 27

So I spent a decent amount of time building out a prototype app but now I need to connect it to a different data source. The information contained in the columns will not be the same.

Is there a way to either use my current app and change the data source? Or use my app as a template to create a new app and select a new data source?

Hoping I don't have to build the entire thing from scratch again.

    Just change the source, but you will need to manually change all your column name references as well. Always best to build out your tests in sharepoint lists that are identical in every way column wise, just with a different name, if you need to build it on a dummy splist
