Power Platform Best Practices

Many organizations have just started their Power Platform journey. Everything is new and maybe a little bit confusing. In the worst scenario, this will slow down the whole adoption of the Power Platform.

In this session, I go through common mistakes people and organizations do with the Power Platform. Some are just small details, some are bigger ones. But you should be aware of these.

Introduction to the Power Apps cards

Microsoft Learn says: "Power Apps cards are micro-apps with enterprise data and workflows and interactive, lightweight UI elements that other applications can use as content."

Clear enough?

Power Apps cards are a relatively new tool in the Power Platform. They are like actionable messages, but easier to build and use. You can simplify your processes by using them.

In this session, you will learn
- why and when use Power Apps cards
- how to build them
- how they are different from actionable messages

And of course, you will see examples of different Power Apps cards!

Top 10 things people mess up with Power Apps

With every tool, you can do things perfectly, fine or almost fine. This is ok.

But in some cases, you can make horrible mistakes.

In this session, I go through common mistakes people do with Power Apps. Some are just small details, some are bigger ones. But as a Power Apps maker, you should be aware of these.

Tips & tricks to build nice looking and performant Power Apps

Power Apps is a wonderful tool. You can build applications unbelievable fast with it. Power Apps can be used by phone or browser. You can embed it to Teams, SharePoint, Power BI, or Model-driven app.

Power Apps are everywhere! And everyone can build them.

But there are two common topics when talking about Power Apps.

1) They all look the same (and ugly)
2) They are slow

In this session, you learn what you can do about these 2 topics.

Mastering canvas Power Apps

Canvas apps are often underestimated. You might think that they are just slow and ugly mobile applications built on top of SharePoint. But no. They offer much more. If you are building low-code solutions with Power Platform, mastering the canvas app is one of the most important skills for you.

Why?

Canvas apps seamlessly integrate across the Power Platform ecosystem. You can enrich model-driven apps with them in many ways. You can also use them with Power BI reports. If you are working with SharePoint, you can extend SharePoint with canvas apps as well! Usually, all this has been done with custom development. But not anymore.

In this session, I walk through different ways you can extend your solutions with canvas app.

While canvas Power Apps serve as a powerful tool, it's not a solution for everything. So when you shouldn't use it? This question is also addressed in this presentation.

Navigating Power Platform Security: Pitfalls and Best Practices

Power Platform has plenty of built-in security features. For example, users use connections with their credentials, secrets can be used from the Azure Key Vault, data can be protected with DLP policies, and much more.

But these nice features have their pitfalls. Your solutions might not be as secure as you believe.

In this practical session, I walk through the most common pitfalls. From the maker and the IT point of view. You will discover how the most common security features function and what considerations you need to keep in mind when using them.
