Building a Power App to connect to a Microsoft List as a data source.

Posted on by 84

I am trying to build my first Power App to use as an input app for my Microsoft List (as well as an update tool, I hope).  I am doing this operation on the same ecosystem that the List is located.  So I assume that as I build the power app, the wizard should be able to find the List.

 

The Microsoft List is called, "Issue Tracker" and I named the power app, "Issue Tracker App".

I am uncertain on how to go about connecting the Power App to the List data source.  During the creation of the APP I am given the following prompt where I can search for the List or click to Add data by clicking ono the text link, or click on the button to Add data.

The options available is very lengthy under "Current Environment".  None of the options seemed to match the name of my current environment (which I assume is the name of the email address I used to log into the environment)  Also, searching for "List" did not give any results, nor did a search on the List name.  All the entries had this icon envoronment-icon.PNG

The mane of the List is "Issue Tracker" but once I typed in the name to search, I am told there is no match once I type the letter "T"
