Using a Template

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 271

Hi all,

 

I am new to Powerapps so thought that I would start by using a template rather than making my own app to begin with. I am using the Service Desk template built into power apps. 

 

When I use this template, but create my own app all of the data within disappears. I believe I need to add data to the referenced tables, but I dont know how to find out which tables are being referenced within this template.

It feels like a very stupid question, but could somebody point me in the right direction as I cant find any tutorials online to help with this

 

Thanks

    Hi @Gwill1983,

     

    Good idea to start with a template, and definitely not a silly question 🙂

     

    Hover over the red "x" error icons to view more info, for example:

    This extra info may give clues as to which data sources are required. For reference, data sources can be viewed by clicking on this button:

    Thank you!

     

    Interestingly, the data sources button you have highlighted doesnt appear on my screen
