Clear, useful explanation. I've been asked to get involved with a power apps project and this gave me a good start into what I am working with and towards.
Thanks Lisa. Your videos are amazingly clear and concise and packed full of useful info. I wish I had seen some of your basic how-to's when I started out with PowerApps 9 months ago. My understanding of the whole PowerApps system is much clearer thanks to you! I'm starting to think the role of Dynamics 365 for our organisation vs a fully custom built model driven app with some canvas app or custom page elements - lots to consider. Thanks
Hi Barry, thanks so much and so glad you found what you were looking for. If you haven't already seen it, my demo of Dynamics 365 Sales might help you decide ruclips.net/video/h-GWDEmj3hs/видео.html. My general advice is that if you are in a Sales or Service scenario it is well worth considering the Dynamics 365 apps. They are absolutely jam packed full of features, forms, views, automations, business processes and AI that you'd never get the same value from trying to recreate yourself. If you have a very specific/basic or custom scenario that doesn't fit sales or service, then model-driven apps are likely to be the right choice.
Hi Lisa, thanks for your videos and taking time to share your knowledge. The information you're providing is simple and easy to understand and follow. I wonder if you also have prepared or know of any tutorials on system testing in Dynamics 365? In other words, does the traditioinal system testing approach work for Dynamics 365 applications? Thanks. xx
Lisa, thank you soooo much. I keep jumping into "beginner" training and was missing this very important piece. This was perfect. I'll check out the rest of the content.
No, they don't need a license. That's exactly the use case for Portals - when you need external people without a license to have secure access to your dataverse data.
My beginner tutorials are here: Canvas Apps: ruclips.net/video/q2gOaI7EtOc/видео.html Model Driven Apps: ruclips.net/video/JtMKcvQcKNY/видео.html Power Automate: ruclips.net/video/in09HzquU5M/видео.html Also check out here on RUclips - Shane Young, Reza Dorrani, April Dunnam and Pragmatic Works, as well as the Microsoft Learn content at aka.ms/learn
What are prerequisite to learn for power apps and power automate.. wheather SharePoint & dynamic 365 knowledge is required??? ..or else any other languages python etc...
No specific pre-requisites, but if you want to build canvas apps then you need a data source to build them on - the most common ones are Excel, SharePoint, SQL, Dynamics 365 (Dataverse), most people have some knowledge of one of these but you don't have to, and there are hundreds of others. Even if you don't know the data source well you can still learn to build the apps. No programming language necessary at all, it's low code.
The developer environment is for you to learn and experiment with making apps. When you want to share it with users you'll need to put it into a production environment and every user who uses it will need a license.
Do I understand correctly that it doesn't deliver a compiled business app for distribution to other phones? It's just a part of microsoft 365 like MS Access is/was?
Correct. It’s designed for business applications, every user needs to log in, it’s not a tool for building commercial or customer applications to put up on an App Store
Date range Validation I have project list in SharePoint Same employee/associate cannot work in between the date range of the previous start date and end date For example I add project to the employee whose name is basha and start date 1-jan -2022 and end date 10-jan-2022 and i add another project to the same employee and date range should be 11-jan-2022 and end date 15-jan-2022. If I give 8-jan-2022 and 15-jan-2022 in this case I want to throw error this in the range of previous date
There is a heap of content and resources around about Power Platform Governance and Security that might help you answer this, I've got some videos in the making.
Is this platform a good fit for traditional developers? I have over 20 years in the business - web, mobile, SharePoint, AEM, etc. Would my dev skills still be useful and valuable, or would I be starting out at ground zero like a non-developer who learns this? I want to remain competitive in the job market.
Absolutely yes. My content focuses very much on the low code experience but in real deployments there are fusion teams working together on the platform, and those teams definitely need and use people with traditional development skills. Have a look at the content from Scott Durow here on RUclips if you want to see how someone with that kind of background works with the platform. ruclips.net/user/ScottDurow
@@LisaCrosbie - Awesome. Thanks for the quick and thorough response. I am just now starting down this rabbit hole, so I have found your channel very helpful. Subbed. :)
Dynamics 365 is a finished / first party app (actually a set of apps) built by Microsoft. Dynamics 365 Sales is the CRM, Dynamics 365 Customer Service is built for case management and customer service ticketing. There are also apps for Field Service and Project Service Automation. These are also considered model-driven Power Apps because it's the same platform underneath - they are just very sophisticated pre-built model driven apps.
Yes, you can - it’s just available in preview. Details here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/data-platform/migrate-access-to-dataverse?WT.mc_id=BA-MVP-5003537
Hi, thank you for the great video! Are you actually building a website at the same time you are doing the Canvas? Or are you adding it to your website? I am just getting started, so I am at the stage where I need both.
Hi Linda, the Canvas App is an app you can use on a mobile device, it isn't building a website. The experience of building it is all done in a browser (make.powerapps.com) rather than needing to download software.
Please can you help : i want to send text messages through powerapps to mobile without 3rd pary is it possible please can you create video on this subject
For text messages you need a SMS provider but you can use the notifications connector to send messages to a mobile via the flow app. Great suggestion for a video, I’ll see what I can do.
Why would you call a software program a technology? By this logic all videogames are "an exciting technology". Doesn't the user decide if it's exciting or not? Is powerapps a videogame? Can you create only business applications? That's ehat you're suggesting. Here's an example: "Spoons and knives are a ground-breaking technology that helps users be more efficient with their consumption of ingestible alimentation. This technology can also be used to commit a plethora of fun and inspiring actions from digging to commiting homicide". It's true but it says jack shit. You're using bad MARKETING lingo that not even marketers understand. Everything we build is a product of technology. Sorry...

Thanks Lisa. I don't know why it took 5 different videos to figure out what this app is but you gave me an idea just what this app is.
Simple, straightforward and well structured. I will definatelly follow you.
I enjoy listening to your explanations. Thanks, Ms. Lisa.
Beautifully explained.
This is probably the best summary of explaining the Power Apps. Thank you so much, @Lisa Crosbie.
Wow, thank you, that’s a huge compliment, I really appreciate that.
Lisa, thank you so much! It is the most comprehensive, clear and short explanation of Power Apps I found!
Clear, useful explanation. I've been asked to get involved with a power apps project and this gave me a good start into what I am working with and towards.
finally someone who explains in clearly. Try to watch the Microsoft videos and was like so confused about what Power Apps is lol
Thanks so much, glad it helped!
WOW! Never had a better foundation-laying lecture. Thank you very much Lisa.

Wow, thanks so much Mario.
Thanks this is useful. I thought this was for the typical commerical app. Lol. Thks for the explanation.
Yep, definitely not for normal commercial apps, glad to have helped, thanks for watching.
Perfect intro to power apps.. Thanks a ton.
Excellently explained. Something I have been struggling with.
Great videos Lisa... Love your videos....
Thank u So much for best Explanations......🤝
You're most welcome, and thank you 😊
Lisa, thank you so much, this is a great video. For Power Apps Portals, if external clients login, do they need MS licenses also?
No, they don't need a license. That's exactly the use case for Portals - when you need external people without a license to have secure access to your dataverse data.
That really was helpful. Thanks. Other videos great for example tutorials etc but this is what I needed to know.
Glad it was helpful, thanks so much.

How to make our organization users use my app under developer environment? They still need subscription?
The developer environment is for you to learn and experiment with making apps. When you want to share it with users you'll need to put it into a production environment and every user who uses it will need a license.
I kind of understand, you explications are clear and efficient. That said, for non developers it's still too complex to understand well. 😉
Yep, that's because explanation arent efficient, even if they are clear.
Do I understand correctly that it doesn't deliver a compiled business app for distribution to other phones? It's just a part of microsoft 365 like MS Access is/was?
Correct. It’s designed for business applications, every user needs to log in, it’s not a tool for building commercial or customer applications to put up on an App Store
Date range Validation
I have project list in SharePoint
Same employee/associate cannot work in between the date range of the previous start date and end date
For example
I add project to the employee whose name is basha and start date 1-jan -2022 and end date 10-jan-2022 and i add another project to the same employee and date range should be 11-jan-2022 and end date 15-jan-2022. If I give 8-jan-2022 and 15-jan-2022 in this case I want to throw error this in the range of previous date
Yes, great video! I do have a question though, "can you create a printable app on this platform?"
Not sure what you meant by a printable app, but you can build apps that can export to PDF if that helps.
Has there been consideration for if/when a PowerApp becomes in in-scope SOX tool subject to ITGC?
There is a heap of content and resources around about Power Platform Governance and Security that might help you answer this, I've got some videos in the making.
@@LisaCrosbie thanks! I will look into it!
Dear, Could you please make a video on power apps developer scope?
Hi Rahul, not sure what you mean there, can you give me some more information about what you're looking for?
Is this platform a good fit for traditional developers?
I have over 20 years in the business - web, mobile, SharePoint, AEM, etc.
Would my dev skills still be useful and valuable, or would I be starting out at ground zero like a non-developer who learns this? I want to remain competitive in the job market.

Hi Ms. Lisa, can I apply for an internship with you to enhance somehow knowledge about powerapps? thankyou.
Thanks so much for watching Joyce, I don't do internships or private consulting but happy to hear any video topics/suggestions you'd like me to add.
Thank You
tell me how can I become rich , using power apps ??
Good question - let me know when you figure it out though!
@@LisaCrosbie just by looking this video , does this project has market demand ? give me some ideas , tell some use cases .
@@required. she literally said it is not for a commercial use
it sounds like a cloud-connected mobile-aware web-app Microsoft Access
dash -> that, porshal -> portal, dasha -> data. I had to turn subtitles on, while i'm not native english speaker because some words were confuzing.
Sorry to hear you’ve had trouble understanding my Australian English accent but glad the subtitles helped.
