Posted on by Midhun Sunil

I'm fairly new to Power Apps and just created my first canvas app. I have a Dataverse table set up with some columns, but I'm not sure how to properly connect it to my app so I can display and edit the data.

Do I use a data source connection directly in the app, or is there a recommended way to set this up?

Any beginner-friendly steps would be really helpful!

Hi @Midhun Sunil

To connect the Dataverse table to your app, you would first use the data pane to find your table and to add it.

If you then add a blank screen to your app, there will be an option to start this screen 'With data'

When you choose this option, you can select the table you added. The designer will then create a screen that allows you to display and edit the data in the table.
