Overview of this book

Microsoft PowerApps provides a modern approach to building business applications for mobile, tablet, and browser. Learn Microsoft PowerApps will guide you in creating powerful and productive apps that will add value to your organization by helping you transform old and inefficient processes and workflows. Starting with an introduction to PowerApps, this book will help you set up and configure your first application. You’ll explore a variety of built-in templates and understand the key difference between types of applications such as canvas and model-driven apps, which are used to create apps for specific business scenarios. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to generate and integrate apps directly with SharePoint, and gain an understanding of PowerApps key components such as connectors and formulas. As you advance, you’ll be able to use various controls and data sources, including technologies such as GPS, and combine them to create an iterative app. Finally, the book will help you understand how PowerApps can use several Microsoft Power Automate and Azure functionalities to improve your applications. By the end of this PowerApps book, you’ll be ready to confidently develop lightweight business applications with minimal code.

As previously mentioned, if the list can be viewed in the modern user interface, then you can access the PowerApps menu and customize the form. There are two ways to tell whether you are using the classic or modern experience. The first is that the classic experience, illustrated in Figure 3.1: A SharePoint site using the classic experience, will still contain the ribbon at the top of the screen, which was introduced with SharePoint 2010:

The second is that the search bar, which in the classic experience appears in the top-right, can be found at the top of the left-hand menu when using the modern experience. The modern experience is illustrated in the following screenshot:
