PowerApps
Fusion Solution Company provides consulting services, training, and teaching of PowerApps through Training Courses organized by a team with over 16 years of experience, enabling us to understand the strengths of PowerApps by using experts who actually implement it. We are ready to provide system development services on Office 365 in all forms and with Microsoft Gold Partner and CMMI standards, allowing users to clearly see the actual system before starting development, helping to reduce errors from the design process and the complexity of system use.
What is PowerApps?
PowerApps is designed to be a code-free application development platform to support a wide variety of applications from users and extend the capabilities of Office 365 currently in use. The system can be developed for both desktop and mobile (iOS and Android), and can be used in both systems with just one development.
We can use it to develop applications for general tasks and use it instead of developing with PHP, Java, C#, VB, which is a faster development method than the old method (in the case of a simple app with a single page record). But the point is that the user must have a license, which, when combined with the total budget, will be more expensive if there are a large number of users.
For systems that are popularly used with Power Apps, it is Paperless, using a form instead of opening a request with paper, such as the ISO Document system.
Application Creation
- Canvas App: Design and build business applications from Canvas without coding in traditional programming languages. Design applications by dragging and dropping functions.
- Model-driven Apps: This is an app creation process that requires the ability to write code, which can create more complex systems than Canvas.
- Portal Apps: For external users who want to use apps, we can enable services for external users.
Common Data Service : means the data management area for use with
Connector : is a set of data connections that Microsoft already provides, such as Common Data Service, SharePoint, SQL, OneDrive, Excel, Dynamics 365.
Entities refer to the way in which data is stored, and there are several formats as follows:
- Standard entities: This is a pre-prepared set that can be dragged and dropped for immediate use. Examples: Account, Appointment, Contact, Email, etc.
- Custom entities: Open for development to create functions for personal use.
- Restricted entities: Entities that requires a Dynamics 365 license for full access. Examples: Case, SAL, Knowledge Articles. For list of restricted entities click here.
- Complex entities: These are entities that use complex server-side business logic. Any entity (whether standard or custom) becomes complex once the customer/partner associates the entity with the custom business logic. Example: any entity that uses a real-time workflow or code plug-in.
For reporting, data can be stored in SharePoint or SQL Database. After that, Power BI can be used to connect to it and then export it to a report.
