This mini-session will cover the four topics below:

1. User Details (Email Address or Name)
2. Resetting Controls
3. Clearing Data
4. Multi-Page Forms

Modernizing Business Processes with Power Platform

For every problem, there is a solution! The Power Platform helped solve various problems faced by the Harvard Business School's (HBS) Human Resources department - modernizing user security management, form completion, employee recognition, and scheduling.

This session will offer participants a glimpse into several of the applications, flows, and visualizations created by HBS. The session will include connecting Microsoft Lists to Power Apps as the application data source.
