What is a Model-driven app?
What is a Model-driven app?
Model-driven apps are applications that focus primarily on data and business processes rather than interface design. They concentrate on what the app does (functionality) rather than how it looks.
How is the interface handled in model-driven apps?
How is the interface handled in model-driven apps?
Power Apps handles the interface design for model-driven apps, allowing developers to concentrate on the app’s core functionality.
How are model-driven apps created?
How are model-driven apps created?
Similar to canvas apps, model-driven apps can be created from scratch or using pre-built templates. These templates leverage Microsoft Dataverse and sample apps provided by Power Apps.

Study Notes
Model-Driven Apps in Power Apps
- Model-driven apps prioritize data and business processes; interface design is handled by Power Apps.
- Creation options are identical to canvas apps, with templates available from a blank tile or existing templates.
- Requires Microsoft Dataverse database, offered as a new environment if it's missing. This is especially important to note in the context of the PL-900 exam where trial versions of apps are available for testing.
- Post-installation, the App Designer interface exists in two versions: modern (WYSIWYG display) and classic (non-WYSIWYG display).
- Always based on Microsoft Dataverse (previously Common Data Service) data.
- Developers add tables (entities, in classic interface) from the database to design the app.
- Elements such as Forms, Views, Charts, and Dashboards determine data display and presentation.
- Modern interface shows results of modifications immediately; tables are in the Dataverse database.
- Classic interface uses a separate 'Entities' component and adding an entity creates a row of assets for the developer.
- Model-driven apps support business processes to create records and input data.
- The app automatically adjusts to screen size; unlike canvas apps, there's no tablet/phone selection.
Modifying Forms and Charts
- Forms are dynamically generated when a new record is created, similar to a Power Automate flow.
- Both classic and modern interfaces allow form modification—editing charts and forms are similar.
- Forms have edit functionality in the respective interfaces' More Options menus.
- Developers can use the Form Editor, where data fields are selectable and configurable
- To see changes in the live app the result must be saved and published.
