In this brand-new workshop, running for the first time at Microsoft Power Platform Conference 2023, you will learn everything you need to know to build and use model-driven Power Apps. The day will be made up of a combination of demonstration-led sessions, hands-on lab exercises, and Q&A sessions, and all materials will be provided for you to take home to continue your learning.

We will start with an introduction to model-driven Power Apps, understanding use cases, gathering requirements, and building a data model in Microsoft Dataverse. From there we will create the user interface for your app, building forms, views, and a custom welcome page.

We will explore how you can bring your SharePoint data into your model-driven apps by using virtual tables and document management integration, as well as how to leverage other parts of the Microsoft 365 stack to make your model-driven app a collaborative tool.

We will then explore how to use your app to automate your business processes, guiding users through required tasks, enforcing data validation, and triggering automated notifications and actions.

Finally, we will explore how security roles can be used to protect your data and provide the right access to different users of your app.

Lisa is known for her popular YouTube tutorials on model-driven Power Apps and has an enthusiastic and clear style that makes her workshops fun and accessible for beginners. She will be joined by members of the Microsoft Power Apps product team, who will be available to answer questions and guide you through the materials.

This workshop is entirely low-code/no-code - you will build all these components using a drag and drop interface, with some use of basic Power Fx formulas. No prior experience or knowledge of Power Apps or Microsoft Dataverse is needed, it will all be covered during the course of the day, to take you from beginner to app maker.
