Hi all,
We created an app containing questions that people can answer. We now want to let external users fill in the questionnaire from our canvas app. Questions:
Thanks in advance
Hi @YvoValcon ,
i am not an expert on PowerApps, i am in the Portals Story. To my understanding, one of the main diffrences between powerapps and portals is the licensing. You do not need AD-Assigned PowerApps Licenses in order to use Portals. The pricing of portals is done via page impressions and logins, where the logins are in the end CONTACTS in the dataverse (there are multiple ways to authorize them).
As far as i know, there is no direct method of integrating canvas or modeldriven apps in the portal.
Nevertheless: when you create forms in the dataverse (like in model driven apps?), you can publish them in portals.
Technically, Portals and PowerApps move more and more togehther, as Portals support CodeComponents (aka PCFs). So, when your functionality is implemented via PCFs on Forms (or even without forms) there is a fair chance to reuse them (depends on the architecture of course).
Scripting and logic in Portals is (currently) mostly based on Javascript and not PowerFX.
But the canvas apps and portals can share the same dataverse and you could create a portal based on the same questions and all answers will go to the same dataverse.
You could change your whole process and use portals only, as portals are responsive and will render great on many devices. If the effort is not too big, moving the questionaire to portals might be a good fit. And your existing AD-Users can be reused in Portals, too.
Hope this ignites some ideas for you.
Have fun,
Christian
