00:00:00
in today's show we're going to learn how to make
your first power apps app using some sharepoint 00:00:04
data right no frills no fuss we're just going to
dive in there we're going to connect up to our 00:00:08
data build an app save and publish it out with
people so everyone can see your glory and then 00:00:13
we're going to talk about some tools and tips that
you can use to continue your powerapps learning 00:00:17
journey so if that sounds fun to you let's switch
over to my desktop and take a look oh yeah one 00:00:21
more thing if you go to www.powerapps911.com start
there you'll see a write-up of kind of things 00:00:28
we talk about in this video with some links to
other getting started resources and just things i 00:00:33
thought would be handy for you guys to have so go
check that out all right back to where i was going00:00:42
all right so to get started here i went
into a browser on my machine and i went to 00:00:46
make.powerapps.com going to make.powerapps.com
will get you to the right place right because 00:00:51
if you're in europe your url is a little bit
different if you're in a government cloud your 00:00:55
url might be a little bit different etc right
there's a lot of different ways you can end up 00:00:59
with a different url so make.powerapps.com gets
us all to this screen and it also might be in your 00:01:04
language which is kind of cool now when i got here
i had to sign in and i just used my office 365 00:01:10
account if you do not have an office 365 account
then you can create an account they'll sign you up 00:01:17
automatically for community plan but most you're
probably here because you realize you have power 00:01:20
apps as part of one of your entitlements in office
365. the best way to get started i think is you 00:01:26
go down here to create and so to build your
app there's really three ways you can do it 00:01:31
right the first one down here is start from a
template the template apps will create an app 00:01:35
for you that's already pre-built pre-configured
and does some things these apps give you ideas 00:01:40
of where to get started but one of the things i'll
caution you as you get into this platform is don't 00:01:45
ever try to use these templates use the template
to get inspired get ideas look at how things work 00:01:50
but don't actually try to edit these templates
and make them part of your production it just 00:01:54
it never ends well as for customers all right so
if we scroll up here so then start from and so 00:02:00
basically you have start from data which is either
dataverse sharepoint excel or sql so these are 00:02:05
all tabular data sources that you can start from
and so that's what we're going to use or you can 00:02:11
start from blank app and that is literally just a
blank white screen that you have to do everything 00:02:15
which is where you're going to get right 99 of
the apps in the world that are used are built 00:02:19
from a blank app but to start for your first app
which we're doing today we're going to start with 00:02:24
some data and we're going to use sharepoint okay
i think sharepoint is the data source you have the 00:02:28
most familiarity with and i'd say 80 of the power
apps in the world are built on top of sharepoint 00:02:34
now you might be thinking Shane wouldn't excel
will be better to start with maybe but what 00:02:37
you'll find out is that while excel is great for
that very first app just for you to learn maybe 00:02:43
excel is not a good data source for the long term
so if you want to build an app to work with you 00:02:47
and your co-workers so i don't like to steer you
down the excel road from the beginning i want you 00:02:51
to start with sharepoint so speaking of sharepoint
if we look over here i have a sharepoint list that 00:02:56
i've previously created i called my employees
list probably a hundred of the 200 plus videos 00:03:01
i've made at this point are using this sharepoint
list so it's pretty common for my audience to see 00:03:07
um but you know it's just got kind of some
simple demographic data and if we click on 00:03:12
list settings over here just in case you're
wondering exactly there you can just grab a 00:03:16
screenshot of that and if you want to know
exactly what each column type is we're not 00:03:20
going to worry about that today though
okay so there's our sharepoint list now 00:03:24
while i'm here i know this is the sharepoint
list i want to make a Power Apps app from 00:03:27
i'm going to copy this url because when we go
back over here we're going to choose sharepoint 00:03:33
and so then this is going to walk us through the
process of it automatically creating an app from 00:03:37
that particular sharepoint list so after a few
seconds the screen loaded now you see i have a lot 00:03:42
of connections over here if this is literally your
first time you will not and so you will probably 00:03:47
have to say create a new connection to sharepoint
so but there's nothing to it you just literally 00:03:52
say create a connection to sharepoint put in
your username or not even put in your account 00:03:55
just say it can use your account and it'll set
it up for you so there's nothing to that process 00:04:00
so now what do we want to connect to and so i'm
not going to um worry about that though right 00:04:06
i'm not really interested in that because i'd have
to find it that's too hard remember we just copied 00:04:11
that url just paste that up here it's going to be
like nothing found but if you say go power apps 00:04:16
has gotten pretty smart and powerapps figured out
that i really meant the sites slash pa and so then 00:04:22
here all the lists and if we remember the list was
called employees so if we scroll down long enough 00:04:27
we will see that there is the employees list so
click employees and then underneath my face here 00:04:32
we're going to say connect now as part of the
connection process it is going to create us an 00:04:35
app and it takes about 10 seconds maybe 15 if it's
having a slow day but this is going to create us a 00:04:40
fully functional Power Apps app look at that it's
called employees there are my different employees 00:04:45
and so the very very first thing i
want you all to do right now slow down 00:04:49
is they go subscribe to my channel no well i mean
i do want you to do that but that's not what i'm 00:04:53
at but what i really want you to do right now
is i want you to click on file over here and 00:04:57
then give this a name right my first app give it
some type of name i don't care what you name it 00:05:04
and then under my face again click on the save in
that bottom right corner okay what this is going 00:05:09
to do is this is going to save our power app and
now auto save is going to run every two minutes so 00:05:14
you can never lose any of your data right because
power apps doesn't have like a third-party tool 00:05:19
like a like a tool you install on your machine you
do everything in the browser to build this and so 00:05:24
if your browser session was accidentally get reset
you could lose data so that's why you want to save 00:05:28
because once you've done the first save auto save
will run every two minutes all right so now we can 00:05:33
hit back so now what we want to do is i want to
check out the app so up here in the top right hand 00:05:40
corner there's a little play button right remember
my first vcr if you're old enough no vcr is 00:05:45
and so here you've got the app now you notice
it's tall and skinny so not all powerapps are 00:05:51
tall and skinny this one happens to use a mobile
phone factor right you know you've all heard this 00:05:55
mobile phone right tall and skinny well that's
what this is and that's one of the neat things 00:05:59
about powerapps is you can build them either to
be a phone first app so tall and skinny like this 00:06:04
it works my browser just fine or you can build
a more of a classic desktop or tablet app where 00:06:09
it's you know big wide you know big app and uses
all your browser real estate so don't get caught 00:06:15
up on the sizing here but the idea here was they
built you a mobile-friendly app with the automatic 00:06:19
process so here you can see all the different
people from the employees list right down here 00:06:24
there's me more importantly there's chewie if you
watch the videos you're going to see that there's 00:06:28
a lot of chewy love in these so chewy is very
popular with my viewers anyway if we go click 00:06:33
on chewie's record so we'll just click on the
arrow this then takes us to another screen where 00:06:37
we can see some additional details about chewie so
more of his face but more about you know different 00:06:42
properties like is he good at his job what's his
favorite color and if we say edit maybe chewie's 00:06:48
favorite color is no longer blue maybe it's now
hit the drop down it's now purple we'll say purple 00:06:54
and then we'll use this little check mark
check mark at the top to submit the item 00:06:59
and just that fast if we go to sharepoint and
refresh my browser and we look at chewie look 00:07:05
at that his favorite color is now purple
so within seconds we have a power app 00:07:11
that is working with our data for us right so it's
working interacting with the sharepoint list if we 00:07:17
go back over here so we can see there's a delete
button so if we wanted to delete chewy that'd be 00:07:21
very sad but we could delete chewy we go back over
here there's also this plus which would walk us 00:07:27
through a wizard and say hey you know create a new
one right so a new person i'm gonna call them bob 00:07:35
build man right i don't know i just made up
something fill out blue department uh construction 00:07:43
and you know just like that we entered
some data we hit the check mark and as 00:07:46
you can probably guess if we go over here and
refresh our data and then scroll to the bottom 00:07:51
there is our new person right so just like
that power apps is done and built as an app 00:07:57
we didn't write a single line code we even look
at a single line of code now what we can do is we 00:08:01
can come in here and be like all right well oh
i do not want this whole pop-up wizard go away 00:08:07
but we can go in here and we can you know start
to mess with the app so with this selected you're 00:08:13
going to notice this is called a browse gallery
that's one of the controls and power apps remember 00:08:18
i talked about this whole idea of it's kind of
like powerpoint you just kind of drag things in 00:08:22
so there's a gallery galleries show you lists of
data perfect and so then now if we go over here to 00:08:28
the layout we can change the layout so maybe you
don't have pictures you want to change this to 00:08:32
just be text change the layout to title subtitle
and body boom good what are your pictures so 00:08:38
let's keep those you can also change what fields
show up so if we click on the fields and say edit 00:08:45
maybe i want that top one to be their first
name so we go right here first name and then 00:08:50
that second field instead of being the id i don't
need the sharepoint id maybe we want to know what 00:08:55
department they're from just like that and then
the face is the face that's the only image column 00:09:01
i have so i'm not going to change that and then
for the body we want to show their hourly wage 00:09:06
boom look at that now we're showing different
columns of data perfect but if you look you might 00:09:11
notice hourly wage doesn't look like wage right
ferguson's missing a zero and i want a number sign 00:09:17
right no big deal click on this so this
item.houry wage when you edit a gallery 00:09:23
you just edit this top row and you're in business
but so i can come up here and i'm just going to 00:09:28
apply a function called text which is very
similar to excel so we're going to say text 00:09:34
and then what we want to do we want to use this
format which is exactly excel's syntax for this 00:09:40
and just like that you notice that ferguson
got his trailing zero everyone got their dollar 00:09:45
sign and boom you've formatted this right you've
written your first formula be the right word right 00:09:50
but we used a function the text function to
transform that number into a formatted number 00:09:56
also good news if you're looking at this from
a different country right you guys don't use 00:10:00
dollar signs you use the euro symbol or the pound
symbol or the end symbol whatever it is you use 00:10:05
um you know power apps has language specific
stuff so we're not gonna get into that today 00:10:08
but powerapps is going to you know adapt
pretty well to you in your different regions 00:10:14
all right so maybe we're really happy right this
is this is everything i ever wanted shane great 00:10:19
now what i can do is go over here file and we
can save this thing so that will save our changes 00:10:25
auto save would have got them eventually but
we're just going to save them now and then you 00:10:28
can publish so with powerapps you have you know
whatever the published version that's what your 00:10:33
users are going to use and then the um but you can
then keep editing that and saving your changes but 00:10:39
until you publish it they won't see your updates
so now we'll say publish hey i want to publish 00:10:45
this thing great idea and after a moment it has
been published and so then now we can go back 00:10:49
over here and say file and it's like hey do you
want to share that i do so we'll click on share 00:10:54
which opens up a new browser tab and so here i
could share it with you know uh people directly 00:11:01
so i'm just gonna share it with chewie right
doesn't your dog have his own account also 00:11:04
so we'll save it directly with chewie we
could also save it with a microsoft group 00:11:11
or with everyone in the company all at once we
can also choose does chewie need to be the owner 00:11:16
or not so chewy in this case we do not want him
editing the app we just want him to use it so 00:11:20
we will not select co-owner and then the data
permissions here this is just saying hey when 00:11:26
chewie opens this app it's going to interact with
sharepoint as chewy so make sure sharepoint has 00:11:31
allows chewie to do his thing we'll also
send him an email invitation and hit share 00:11:37
and in just moments from now chewie will get an
email where he'll be able to click on the email 00:11:42
and open up the app and he can interact with
our sharepoint data on his mobile phone from our 00:11:46
cute little app we've built so that just like
that we have built ourselves a productive app 00:11:53
now if you get over here what you'd want to
do next is start to explore this app more 00:11:58
so start to figure out like hey when i click
on this arrow button how does that work 00:12:02
or you know how do i make this show not
only steven but maybe i want to show 00:12:05
steven and his last name right so that's
a formula like this and so dot last name 00:12:13
and boom we've got that right so understanding
all of that is important and that's kind of your 00:12:18
next step now we don't have time to do all
that in today's video but if you go over to 00:12:23
training.powerapps911.com right which is right
here and then you click on power apps and power 00:12:28
automate on demand you're going to see that i
have a whole free class here that teaches you 00:12:32
how to build your first app like we just did
but it goes into all the details of starting 00:12:36
to make those customizations it also talks
to you about power automate flows it talks 00:12:41
to you about power bi so a lot of learning
opportunities in this free course available here 00:12:46
or if you don't want the structured learning
of this you just want to kind of go piecemeal 00:12:50
then keep in mind that you have other options
available for that probably the most likely 00:12:55
one of those is to stay here on youtube and start
to type in things like if you want to understand 00:12:59
how does this gallery work then just search
for powerapps gallery and you'll get a thousand 00:13:02
different videos that'll explain you how galleries
work or maybe you were more interested in this 00:13:08
other screen like we went over here maybe you want
to start to modify this well this is called a form 00:13:12
right it's a forum control so you could search
for powerapps forms and find that and then you 00:13:18
know the key to getting started from this point
forward is just to build an app start building 00:13:23
start playing start tinkering there's no code
there's no hidden stuff it's just a bunch of these 00:13:27
little controls pulled together with a bunch of
functions and that's what you need to go and learn 00:13:32
so that's it for today hopefully you've enjoyed
this hopefully this gets your mind going if you 00:13:37
have any questions any comments leave them below
