How to display dataverse info on a SharePoint site

Hello Everyone,

 

I have hit several brick walls while trying to come up with a way to do this.  We have about 20 different facilities that each have a SharePoint site with their general information such as street address, contact info, and cost centers.  These have always had to be updated manually, but we now have a Dataverse table with columns of info that cover all of this info and more.  This table is already used for lookups and filters within flows and apps, so it is a great central source for this info.  We need a way to embed this Dataverse info into each location's SharePoint site.

 

We have a plan that allows 50 simultaneous users at a time use power apps versus our Power BI plan in which everyone needs a pro license to view anything in Power BI.  Many employees do not have a Power BI pro license, so Power BI will not work well for this project.

 

Is there a way to display only a single page or card from an app on a SharePoint site?  Is there perhaps a way to do this via an entire app embedded but filtered based on the current SharePoint URL?  Either of these would solve the issue, as I do not wish to create 20+ apps to do this.

 

Another thing I thought of was using Power Pages to do this, but it seems it cannot even use Dataverse as a data source!

    Thank you, @shashankbhide !  You definitely pointed me in a good direction with the link you provided.  I think I will create them as separate pages (easily duplicated once the first one is created) in an app and then use the navigate parameter in the URLs I embed within SharePoint to have it navigate to the correct page.  I could probably also just have one page in an app that filters based on a variable or invisible dropdown menu for the location name and then use that location name as a parameter, but the navigation parameter is definitely a built-in parameter that I will not have to create.

    There are many ways.

     

    1. Create a canvas app and host it in SharePoint site as shown here.
    2. Customize SharePoint site if you've developer skills in your team, then you could connect to Dataverse using WebApi or Power automate and retrieve the information and show it on the custom .ASPX pages on SharePoint.
