First time app builder with coding experience. Looking to make a basic inventory management app.

Hello,

I am looking to build a basic inventory management app. I have a decent one mocked up but it doesn't contain some of the functionality that I would like; namely, a files/link type feature where additional documents can be uploaded.

Would anyone be able to recommend me an article or video? This is my first app on Power Apps. 

Also, does anyone know how to access the AI feature? With my first app I was able to use some sort of AI assistance feature (pre build) but I have been unable to find this prompt again.

with gratitude,
macroSoft

    Hi , @macroSoft 

    Regarding your requirements, you are building the App for the first time, and there are already some references and templates, but there are still some features or requirements that have not been fully guided and improved, such as "a files/link type feature where additional documents can be uploaded" For this requirement description, do you mean the upload or control of the attachment file? If so, you can refer to the official documentation for this attachment control:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-attachments

     

    As for if you want to find some pre-built apps to refer to and learn, I think the most convenient and fast way is that with the launch of the new feature of Copliot and Power Apps, Copliot can directly generate App templates according to your requirements, and give you pre-built and reference, please check the guidelines of these two documents:
