Hello Community,
I have the following question, and would appreciate some guidance: Sorry for the long message...
We have a client in the higher education sector where they are looking to migrate their existing portal (on Drupal) to a new platform. We are wondering if the Power Apps Portal is the right fit for the following requirements:
For example, the portal user will need to see different page layout with different menu items, logos, etc. based on the program they select. Also, the layout of the form, the fields to be displayed on the form for the user to fill out on the portal will also need to dynamically change based on the program they select. The client also needs a very robust flexible way of managing such changes. In their Drupal portal today, they are able to "clone" the site or pages from a particular program, and then make the changes on top, and they are able to easily add/remove/hide fields of information (even from different entities) to the same portal page with drag/drop or toggles.
Would the Power Apps Portal meet the above, or should we go with other CMS solution for the portal?
Any pointers would be appreciated!
Hi @StalinPonnusamy,
A different layout is possible on the portal. You can dynamically change everything, but you would need to know javascript and css to make that happen, as there no low code solution to achieve this. You can customize forms with a drag and drop interface, however, if you want to change available fields on the fly you will need to use javascript. Regarding cloning - yes you could create a copy of the page and change it using the visual editor.
In general, I would say that if you need to have highly flexible forms that users need to modify and change logic without knowledge of the code you will be better with other solutions.
