Study Notes

Portal Apps in Power Apps

Portal apps provide external and internal users access to Microsoft Dataverse data via a website.
They eliminate the need for many calls and in-person interactions.
Portal apps were part of a Dynamics 365 add-on but are now integrated into Power Apps.
Only one portal app can be created per environment.
Portal app data is stored entirely in Dataverse, no external app connections are possible.
Creating a portal app requires provisioning the Dataverse, tables, data, and a starter template.
The process starts with selecting "Blank App" and "Blank Website" in the Power Apps portal, confirming environment setup.
Existing Power Apps portal apps are now a separate product: Power Pages.
Portal app features are removed from PL-900 exam content.

Formulas in Power Apps

Power Apps formulas are similar to Excel formulas.
Formulas in Power Apps can manipulate cell contents and control functionality (buttons, dropdowns, combo boxes).
Formulas can be used to perform calculations (like summing values from input boxes).
The Value() function converts text inputs into numerical values for calculations.
The Sum() function calculates sums from multiple values.
IF functions allow conditional logic: if a sum meets a condition (e.g. greater than or equal to 65), a Label control will display "Pass", otherwise "Fail".
Formulas can configure control properties.
Controls like "Date picker" have properties like DefaultDate with formulas (e.g., Today()).
Format properties (DateTimeFormat.ShortDate) determine date display format within the control.
Alternate formats for dates include ShortDateTime, ShortDateTime24, LongDate.
