Understanding PowerApps 101

Productivity can be achieved with less effort, surprisingly.

PowerApps is an exciting new tool from Microsoft to help businesses in building their desired custom apps, drive process automation and create efficiencies for businesses of all sizes. Various features on Office 365 and Power Platform are leveraged upon by PowerApps to help users to design apps that suit their needs.

What is special about PowerApps is its low-code approach taken by Microsoft. While app development is normally associated with high complexity, reserved for IT professionals, PowerApps attempted to challenge this with a low-code approach. This translates to better user-friendly interface that permits employees with no IT expertise to create apps too.

The drag-and-drop interface in PowerApps helped users to navigate fairly with ease in PowerApps. While users are not expected to know programming languages, they are required to write formulas to underline logic. Users can opt to create simple apps, or they may opt for complex PowerApps that requires advanced knowledge.
