Demos

D1: Visio, Power BI Tiles, and Reports in Power Apps! – how to combine capabilities in Visio, Power BI tiles/Reports and in Power Apps to deliver inventory management and desk reservation solutions. Apps are sharing information and contextually aware of each other = fully interactive Power Apps and Visio diagrams inside Power BI reports and Power BI tiles or full Power BI Reports with Visio diagrams and filters inside of Power Apps using an embed URL.
D2: Power Apps Design Philosophy – an approach/process to building Apps. Planning (before building) the “Canvas” – customer profile, value map and fit. Start with a customer profile - what customer wants to achieve, what they are doing today, their pains, their potential gains. Then create a value map (products and services, pain relievers and gain creators) and finally align or fit the two to excite customers about your value proposition.
