Build and Customize your first Teams App with Power Apps Full Training

[@EDI4noobs]

This is actually pretty good. Gave me a real rundown on how to build one and how I can use it!

[@ShanesCows]

Awesome, glasd it helped.

[@skyebabi7040]

Why does this seem so much easier than the original version? Thanks Shane.

[@ShanesCows]

Glad to help. 😀

[@vanderstraetenmarc]

You hit the nail again! This is going to be gamechanger within the low code solutions. To me not an evolution but a revolution. Thank you Microsoft, and thank you Shane for another amazing video!

[@ShanesCows]

Boom!

[@berndkroon5147]

Really nice video! What surprised me a bit is the following: members of the team will be able to work with the App in their team, see the CDS data, even if the admin has not assigned a PowerApps licence to them. I had expected that the Team members should be given a (free) PowerApps licence, but this is not required. Great!

[@ShanesCows]

Yeah apps for everyone 😎

[@rossgh76]

Love all of your videos, Shane

[@ShanesCows]

Thanks Ross! Have a great week.

Hi Shane, I hope that be fine! 🙂 ... I would like to thank you to share your knowledge, this isn't have price!!! God bless you and your family!!! A big hug from Brazil!!! 🇺🇸❤🇧🇷✌😎

You are very welcome

[@TichingLAB]

Hi Shane great video!!! Its possible to get info from the Calendar on a new Tab showing the day`s agenda? thanks!!!!

[@MrGidianG]

Shane, You continue to post great stuff. thank you so much. This video is a few months older now so the actually Teams integration is now complete with the built in dataverse tables capabilities. I have used the hero theme to simple post data from the tables I have created. I have attempted to use the filter and or search abilities to bring up my data as you did in previous videos. It just doesn't seem to work the same. Doesn't seem to be the same experience. I am wondering if you can show examples or do a video that does the filter and search capabilities using a basic hero form in this new Teams / Powersapps environment. Again. Great stuff

[@ShanesCows]

I replied to your other similiar comment :)

[@NKBobcat]

Excellent! Thanks again Shane!

[@ShanesCows]

Glad to help Bob! Go build something cool.

[@louiscutmore]

Total awesomeness. With the 2 containers that are generated on Screen1, is it worth putting them inside another container to make use of SizeBreakPoints & Responsive Components? (another great video!)

[@louiscutmore]

*with a view to making it phone size compatible

[@ShanesCows]

I think so. I have been going with a container for the whole screen, then containers inside of that container, then my content.

[@louiscutmore]

@@ShanesCows Kool, thanks! I noticed the PowerApps for Teams is also providing that set up when designing apps now. Very smart and hopefully the future!

[@SS-zi3ky]

Really, super helpful! Thank you for doing this video!!

[@ShanesCows]

You're so welcome!

[@jonathancopin8093]

I tried to create my first teams app and even if there are some minor bugs in the french version (original code in the app using "," but for the french code ";" is used in the functions and ";;" to separate instructions) it's still amazing. Once the bugs are cleaned everything's smooth and awesome. Thx Shane for those videos (watched almost all of them) \o/

[@ShanesCows]

Glad you go it. 😀 I would have mentioned it but at record time I didn't know. Sorry

[@ianreilly4763]

Love your videos Shane. How can you import data from a list or excel?

[@ShanesCows]

How about this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqe7mZ2nrNKaaas

[@stijntempelaere8772]

Always love your video’s. I was just wondering what the easiest way Should be to upload existing data into a table. Data already existing in sharepointlist or excel.

[@ShanesCows]

Nothing great for that yet. Maybe try out flow but I haven't done a video on it yet.

[@turtleturtle4909]

Thanks for the video. Just what I needed. If I had all my employee data in an Excel Workbook, how can I import that data into Power Apps for MS Teams. I don't see any type of import ("Get Data") button the the "MS Team Power Apps Studio" tool or am I missing something. Thanks,

[@ShanesCows]

I have a video for that :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6e6faCmoLhlkNk

[@ethanthomas1981]

Thanks for the video Shane. Is there going to be any kind of permissions built in to powerapps with teams. Ie, only certain members can use an app or only the app maker can access the database directly etc... Also, could you have an app in one channel, then another 'managment app' in a private channel just for managers that uses the same database but perhaps displays the data as a report style app rather than the app to enter or edit data.

[@ShanesCows]

Hey Ethan - They haven't released the security model details yet but I am hopeful when they do things like this should be possible. Hopefully very soon.

[@juliogarciagarcia7316]

Hi Shane, I love your videos and your channel. I really want to thank you for so many good conent. I do have a paticular question. Do you know how to export a normal Canvas App to the be used and modified on Microsoft Teams (and start usign the Dataverse). I tried to do it but I got an error saying that the file is invalid (no Solutions.xml file). Thanks for the help and keept the great work!

[@iainscott-brown3977]

Shane, this is really good thank you. I am a teacher in the UK and are keen to create a seating plan app which shows pictures of the student and key pastoral information. Ideally I would like to drag and drop their tiles (picture and Name) on the canvas into a place to make the plan interactive and changeable. Also I would like the ability to click on their tile and it shows me all of their key pastoral information. Is this possible? if so can you point me in the right direction?

[@HansMorano]

Hi Shane, I hope you are well. I'm trying to pull Shift data to powerapps for individual users without success. I want to work out monthly worked hours for payroll. Any advice? Your viewers would definitely benefit from a video about shifts in powerapps. Many thanks.

[@b8akaratn]

Shane, what's the reason for a "Plural table name" option in the Advanced Settings upon Table creation? (5:24)

[@ShanesCows]

Kara just ignore it. It was there from the old CDS days. They can't customize things the same so it gave the user some control. For canvas apps i never use it.

[@wesbaker39]

Thanks, Shane! Loving these videos. A couple of quick questions: (1) If I make something like what you have done here in this video as an HR app, how can I set up the permissions so that each employee only sees their own info? (2) How tricky will it be to integrate any databases that we set up with this app (and a few other apps that we may build in Teams) with Dynamics 365 Business Central, or (say) education or healthcare accelerator? I assume that the answer is not tricky at all. But is there anything in particular that we should avoid or watch out for? Thanks!

[@ShanesCows]

1 - They haven't released the security settings yet but I have high hopes what you want to do will be possible. :) 2 - Not sure yet but since you have access to Power Automate and its 400ish connectors I think it will all shake out well.

[@ashokpershad]

Great Shane is best 😀

[@ShanesCows]

Thanks 🤩

[@saradehond3293]

Do you have a walkthrough for how to integrate a custom app to the organization app store - so it can be opened from the global left hand menu?

[@lisearsenault1386]

Love your videos!! Is there a way to use the Office365 connector to search for a name instead of having a first Name and Last Name which is text in your form? This would allow to pull all the information from the person and not have to type it in? Not certain if available yet. I've tried to add a lookup column in my table to see if I can find this. But was not able to figure it out.

[@ShanesCows]

I think this video will help you get there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5mqh2d3nah5iMU

[@rileyhale7370]

We've started looking at Project Oakdale, and one thing that we like about PowerApps generally is how easy it is to get the data into Power BI reports. Shane, do you know if there is a way to use Power BI Desktop to query the tables in these newly created environments?

[@ShanesCows]

Riley you are the second person to ask in the last hour. I have a question out to Microsoft and I will post another response if I get a firm answer.

[@rileyhale7370]

Hi Shane thanks for clarifying myemployee table are unique per team site. Please advise how to have only one myemployee table implementation for two or more teams? Appreciate any advised.

Happy to help 🤩

[@BryanBonjour]

Thanks again for the video! I took a try, it seems that it doesn't work with other connectors ( onedrive, excel online ...) currently. Or I misunderstood something?

[@ShanesCows]

This video is only for the Dataverse for Teams functionality.

[@alexbasiliere7436]

Is there no hero template anymore in the modern power apps?

[@ShanesCows]

Hero template is still in Dataverse for Teams?

[@okmr7706]

Thanks Shane, I have a question, can Teams only use Common Data Service? Not SharePoint, Excel , etc?

[@ShanesCows]

All of the 400ish connectors are available. So you can add the other data sources as usual.

[@okmr7706]

Shane Young Many thanks Shane!!!

[@wesbaker39]

One more question Shane: how can I collapse a form or section of a frame to hide data that I don't need at the moment or am not presently working with?

[@ShanesCows]

I don’t follow Wes

[@wesbaker39]

Within a pane I have an "EditForm1, and within that EditForm1 I have several data cards that pull info from my database. Is there a way to make the "EditForms" collapsable so that what previously took up half or two thirds of the canvas now reduces down to a small sliver, hiding the data cards in that EditForm, while I am working in a different form on the same canvas or pane, but when I need them I can click to expand them again and work with the cards in that EditForm? I'm thinking of the way Dynamics allows you to collapse or hide an area or section of the canvas.

[@parawalterguatemala]

Hello Shane, is there an option to read the table created in Powerapps on Teams from Microsoft Excel?

[@ShanesCows]

There is not right now but we are still in preview. Not sure if that will come or not. There is always Power Automate that would let you move the data if need be.

[@parawalterguatemala]

Thank you@@ShanesCows

[@Ayerays_designs]

Great video, however this did not get me very far. Power Apps did not put this in my hero app and upload the table like it did for you! If you could please do a troubleshoot video for this :)

[@ashokpershad]

Hi Shane, Can we upload data directly from Excel in the Team's Table because its difficult to type each data one by one in Team's Table? Or is there any way we can transfer SharePoint List data to Team's Table?

Not right now. Hopefully it will come. I have heard you can cut and paste from Excel but I haven’t tried.

I saved that and viewed it but after some when I try to fetch table again it shows no table or even my newly created APP got deleted. As suggested by you, I even try to click on create APP and then click on dismiss to see APP but with no luck. I am not an admin, is this the reason for getting that deleted. Any suggestions please.

Is it better to learn Power Apps, then try to integrate with Teams? Or, is it better to start learning Power Apps through Teams? Not sure if my questions make sense.

[@ShanesCows]

That is a fabulous question. I think learning it from within Teams is fine. Just remember when you get stuck search for any Power Apps content and it should be applicable inside of Teams.
