Still debating if I should roll out Apps with Powerapps or just stick to the list in SharePoint to process data on the floor. The PowerApps are cool and functionall but, I get the same results from SharePoint opened on an iPad, with less work.

jz75455PowerApps is useful for requiring answers for some people and not others. I hide my lists from my people and use only Access databases or PowerApps to manage how things are entered. It also makes it much easier for my users as well.

We deployed 2 iPads on the floor today. we are running SharePoint and we were running two apps that we built. one was for the Jalapeno process, and the other app was to process potatoes.
Going forward, SharePoint will handle complex processes that have a lot of moving parts. I can have a page with multiple webparts pointing to different lists and access to workflows, SOPs, ànd video training.
PowerApp, is for everything eles lol.
We built a simple app to track our jalapeno process. It use to be done on paper and we wouldn't know how we were doing until the end of the shift, it's too late to make any changes at that point. With power apps, now we have a live dashboard that is updated every time an employee completes 25 pounds of processed jalapenos, and it looks pretty cool, it has pictures of jalapenos and our logo. For us, our logo on an app that we can use to process information on the floor, is pretty cool.
A lot to do and learn.
