Demo summaries

  • Customer Inventory and Daily Expenses App - tracks information and reduces paperwork by giving managers the ability track/access customer records, daily business expenses, pricing, inventory and monitor workflow completion, while allowing employees to easily enter data into the app. The Power Platform solution uses Dataverse to store data, Power Apps Canvas app for data entry, notes and inventory capture, and Power Automate for workflow and push notifications.
  • Introduction to Power Apps Portals - leverage existing model-driven apps by building portal apps on top of them. In this demo build a portal app for external users with no AAD accounts or access to Power Apps. Create a table, create a portal app, create a portal form, build a portal, set permissions, create a view and see records as external user. More Portal capabilities in future demos.
