icon

Handle forms efficiently - You will master creating, editing and using forms to view, add and delete records, which will help you build business apps that work smoothly with structured data.

icon

Design a clearer interface - You will learn how to adjust controls, text, colors and layouts so your app becomes easier to read, visually consistent and more comfortable to use across screens.

icon

Use multimedia effectively - You will discover practical ways to add and manage multimedia elements, allowing you to build more engaging apps with images, visual materials and helpful supporting content.

icon

Create smooth navigation - You will learn how to design transitions between app screens, so users can reach the right functions faster and move through the application in a more intuitive way.

icon

Connect to data sources - You will see how to integrate PowerApps with external databases to read and save information in one place, making it easier to build apps based on real business data.

icon

Add formulas and logic - You will learn to use formulas to display values, react to user input and change colors dynamically, giving your apps useful logic without writing complex code.

icon

Share and manage your app - You will understand how to save, share and control applications in PowerApps, including permissions, updates, and changes to the app name, icon, size and screen orientation.

Training programme

1. Discussion of the basics of working with the PowerApps platform

Work on the PowerApps platform begins with understanding its environment and core operating principles. This section establishes the foundation needed for later tasks by explaining how the platform is organized, what users work with in practice, and how application development is approached inside it.

2. The process of building a new application step by step

Building a new application step by step allows participants to see how separate design decisions connect into one solution. The process follows the creation flow from initial setup to a usable app, clarifying the order of work and the role of key components introduced later in more detail.

3. Explanation of the mechanics of form operation

Forms are examined as the main mechanism for working with records in many PowerApps solutions. The section covers form types, their modification, viewing existing data, and creating or deleting records, linking interface behavior with typical operations performed on structured information.

  • types,
  • modification,
  • viewing records,
  • creating and deleting a record.

4. Detailed discussion of modifying parameters and settings of interactive elements in the application

Interactive elements need precise settings to behave as intended in different usage scenarios. The section concentrates on changing parameters and configuration options of controls, enabling participants to shape how users interact with the application and how components respond on screen.

5. Presentation of methods for adjusting the appearance of text

Text formatting in PowerApps affects how content is interpreted across screens and controls. Participants work with methods for adjusting the appearance of text so labels, messages, and other textual elements remain legible, consistent, and appropriate to the role they play in the interface.

6. Practical instructions on inserting and managing multimedia elements

Multimedia elements add context and interaction, but they also need to be placed and managed correctly. This section addresses inserting such content into the app and handling it in a way that supports the interface rather than distracting from the application’s main functions.

7. Guidelines for customizing the appearance of the application by selecting appropriate color schemes and interface layouts

A consistent interface starts with deliberate choices about color schemes and layout. Here the focus is on adapting the visual structure of the app so screens remain readable, aligned with their purpose, and suitable for the type of interaction expected from end users.

8. Explanation of how to effectively navigate between different application screens

Moving between screens is essential when an application contains multiple tasks or stages. Participants examine navigation patterns that keep transitions clear, support user orientation, and connect separate views into one coherent process instead of a set of disconnected pages.

9. Integration of applications with external databases

External databases expand an application beyond locally defined data structures. The material explains how PowerApps connects to outside data sources, what this means for retrieving and using records, and how database integration supports more realistic business scenarios and persistent information handling.

10. Description of using formulas in PowerApps to create application logic

Formulas in PowerApps are used to turn interface elements into working application logic. This section covers displaying values, modifying outputs based on user input, and changing properties such as color, so participants can connect behavior, data, and presentation in a controlled way.

  • displaying values,
  • changing the output value based on input data,
  • changing the color.

11. List of useful keyboard shortcuts that can improve work in the PowerApps editor

Keyboard shortcuts can significantly reduce time spent on routine actions in the PowerApps editor. Participants review the combinations that streamline navigation and editing, making day-to-day work more efficient and helping maintain focus when building or adjusting application components.

12. Introduction to features supporting users with different needs

Accessibility features in PowerApps are discussed through layout, color usage, keyboard support, and compatibility with screen readers. The goal is to show how interface decisions influence users with different needs and how to reduce barriers without introducing separate application variants.

  • layout and colors,
  • keyboard support,
  • supported screen content readers.

13. Instructions for saving the application in the cloud or locally

Saving an application affects how work is secured and later resumed. The section explains the difference between cloud and local storage, when each approach is appropriate, and how proper saving practices support version continuity, portability, and recovery of development progress.

14. Guide to the options for sharing a finished application with the team

Sharing a completed application with a team involves both distribution and practical collaboration. Attention is given to available sharing options, the scope of access granted to others, and how to make the app usable for coworkers while keeping ownership and administration under control.

15. Configuring access to the application

Access configuration determines who can open the application and under what conditions. Participants work through the logic of assigning permissions, controlling availability, and preparing the app for safe use in an organizational environment without changing its functional design.

16. Discussion of functions allowing the monitoring, updating and controlling of applications in the PowerApps environment

Managing an app after creation requires more than publishing it once. This part focuses on editing and deleting applications, updating names and icons, and adjusting screen size or orientation so the solution can be maintained, identified clearly, and adapted to changing usage needs.

  • editing,
  • deleting applications,
  • changing the icon and name,
  • changing the size and orientation of the screen.

17. Demonstration of ways to integrate PowerApps applications with other services

PowerApps integration options are presented in the context of connecting apps with other services used in daily work. The section shows how data and actions can move between systems, helping participants understand where integrations fit into the overall application workflow and deployment model.

What are the prerequisites for participating in the training?

icon

Basic computer skills - You should be comfortable using a computer, web browser and operating system so you can move around the PowerApps editor easily and complete the training exercises.

icon

Working with files and data - You should know how to work with files and understand basic ideas such as records, fields and tables, because this will make forms and data handling much easier for you.

icon

Familiarity with app interfaces - You should feel comfortable using forms, buttons and screens in typical applications so you can design the layout and navigation of your own solution more easily.

icon

Basic conditional logic - You should understand simple if-then relationships and how input data affects results, because this will help you grasp formulas in PowerApps much faster during class.
