Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community.
It sounds like you're off to a great start with your Doctor Appointment App project!
Let's break it down step-by-step:
1. Structuring the App
Multiple Screens vs. One Screen with Visible Conditions:
Multiple Screens: This approach is generally more manageable and user-friendly. Each main tab (Patient Portal, Help Desk, Doctor Portal) can have its own screen.
One Screen with Visible Conditions: This can be more complex to manage but might be useful if you want to keep everything in one place. Use this approach if you have a strong reason to do so.
2. Designing the UI
Easy Navigation and User-Friendly Design:
Home Screen: Create a navigation menu with buttons for each main tab.
Patient Portal: Include forms for booking appointments and viewing updates.
Help Desk: Provide options to approve/reject appointments and assign doctors.
Doctor Portal: Allow doctors to view assigned patients and add prescriptions.
Consistency: Use consistent colors, fonts, and layouts across all screens.
Feedback: Provide visual feedback (e.g., loading spinners, success messages) to improve user experience.
3. Setting Up Dataverse Tables
Relationships Between Tables:
Patients Table: Store patient details.
Appointments Table: Store appointment details. Include a lookup column to the Patients table.
Doctors Table: Store doctor details. Include a lookup column to the Appointments table.
Relationships:
One-to-Many between Patients and Appointments (one patient can have many appointments).
One-to-Many between Doctors and Appointments (one doctor can have many appointments).
4. Implementing Role-Based Access
Role-Based Access Control:
Patients: Can only see their own appointment details.
Help Desk: Can see all appointment requests.
Doctors: Can only access their assigned patients.
Implementation: Use security roles in Power Apps to define permissions. Assign roles to users based on their function.
5. Integrating Power Automate for Email Notifications
Email Notifications:
Appointment Confirmation: Trigger an email when an appointment is booked.
Prescription Updates: Trigger an email when a doctor adds a prescription.
Steps:
Create a flow in Power Automate.
Use triggers like "When a record is created" or "When a record is updated" in Dataverse.
Add actions to send an email using the "Send an email (V2)" action.
