The Power Platform is a powerful combination of tools that allow you to build business applications to store, process and share your data. This chapter will show you how the Power Platform is built and gives you an overview of what is possible.
Before Model-Driven Apps can be created, an environment with a Microsoft Dataverse database must be provisioned. This chapter introduces the concept of an environment and what role it plays in creating, managing and deploying Model-Driven Apps. Students are also provided with a quick overview of the look and feel that every Model-Driven App has and the common functionality of Model-Driven Apps.
Solutions are used by developers to package related customizations together so that they can be managed and deployed as a single unit. We will see what components can be added to a solution and how they are the essential building blocks of your environment.
Model-Driven Apps are the building block of any business solution. For instance, we could create our own "event management" app. The app will group together everything our user needs from Microsoft Dataverse and the components we have built.
Tables are used to model and store business data in Model-Driven Apps. Conceptually, they are similar to tables in a relational database. Microsoft Dataverse provides several built-in tables, such as Contact and Account, but customizers will almost always need to create new tables. In this chapter, you will learn all aspects of creating new tables.
Just like accounts and contacts have relationships in Microsoft Dataverse, we can provide relationships for our own tables. You will learn what types of relationships are possible and how to configure them.
Columns define the individual data items that can be used to store data in a table. You will learn everything about data types, formats, column properties and more.
Forms are used to create, read and update individual table rows. In this module you will learn about the different Form Types and how to create or customize forms using the Form Designer.
Business rules essentially automate control logic on tables, without the need for development. Think of making columns required depending on the value of another column for instance.
Offer the data needed for different scenario's with views. With a view, we can either look at all table rows, or we could apply some filtering, sorting, etc.
Reporting is essential when working with data. In this module you will learn how you can create charts and dashboards to visualize your raw data in in visual appealing bar or column charts.
Business process flows in Dataverse are guided workflows that streamline and standardize processes within an organization by providing a visual representation of the steps needed to complete a task. They ensure consistency and compliance by guiding users through predefined stages and actions.
This module teaches how you can implement a robust security model in Model-Driven Apps using Business Units, Security Roles, Users and Teams.
Power Automate gives you the ability to automate organizational processes. As a part of the Microsoft Power Platform, it integrates seamlessly with Model-Driven Apps and Microsoft Dataverse.
Built on the fundamentals of Dynamics 365, Model-Driven Apps allow you to build complex and sophisticated business apps without writing code. Model-Driven Apps follow a data-first approach. You first design the data model of your Model-Driven app using Microsoft Dataverse and then you compose the UI of the Model-Driven App. Unlike Canvas App development where the designer has complete control over app layout, with Model-Driven Apps much of the layout is determined for you and largely designated by the components you add to the app. Follow this 5-day training and become an expert in Model-Driven App design, Microsoft Dataverse and the integration with other components of the Power Platform like Power BI, Canvas Apps and Power Automate.
This 5-day course is intended for power users, consultants and key business users that want to work with and customize the out-of-the-box functionality of the Power Platform.
