So I built an entire record keeper app that we've been running for the past few weeks, but it's getting sluggish as we move on. It's currently based on sharepoint lists because at some point I figured that was the best option we had. I originally ignored the teams/dataverse option because I thought we would be exceeding 2GB, but after importing 9000 records into the sharepoint lists it's only showing around 3MB.
I'm starting to recreate it with a teams/dataverse to hopefully help lag/load times, but I'm not seeing a lot of options that are in the "web-based" app builder. For reference both apps are canvas.
Missing:
- creating a calculated field in a table throws an error about not being able to sign in (might be me, have to research further)
- no theme option
- labels don't have background fill or borders (no border radius on buttons)
- no camera input
- no dropdown box (I gather I can use a combo box, just have to play) - also cant change background color on these either.
- there doesn't appear to be a way to import data en masse into the tables without bending over backwards through power flow/automate, which I guess i'm fine with. I'll figure it out if I can get the app to function properly.
- I also just found that you cannot put a data table inside a container. Why?
I don't know if I'm an idiot or I'm missing something, but I've been working for the past 3 hours on this and I'm seriously concerned that I'm going to hit something I can't work around (like lacking a camera input as of right now) and having to scrap this avenue. It seems that the builder for power apps within teams is too far pared down and it's missing quality of life options, or missing essential inputs/functionality.
Edited: found more missing functionality (datatable)
