Announcing PowerApps web part (preview) for SharePoint Online
We are pleased to announce the preview of the PowerApps web part for SharePoint Online. PowerApps is a service that lets you build business apps that run in a browser or on a phone or tablet, with no coding experience required. Once you have created or customized an app using the service, you can add it to your SharePoint page with the PowerApps web part. Getting started To get started, just add the PowerApps web part from the toolbox and then enter the app's URL or the ID in the property pane. You can grab the app's URL or the ID from your apps page in PowerApps. Web part features Below are some of the key benefits of using the PowerApps web part to embed your apps on a SharePoint page: The Web part automatically signs you into PowerApps. The Web part automatically scales the app to a best fit in the canvas. If you do not like the best fit, you can resize the app (up to the app's max size) using the resizer control. Yes, it works in your SharePoint mobile app. Release details We are releasing this web part as a preview, so we can gather feedback and monitor the app's performance. We expect the web part to start rolling out to our customers in Targeted Release in early May 2018. We are excited for you to start using the PowerApps web part and we would love to hear your feedback! Notes Adding the app on a page does not automatically give users permissions to use the app. Users must be granted access to view the app. To learn how to share apps with specific users or security groups, or with your entire organization, see Share an app in PowerApps. PowerApps are designed to work best with fixed sizes. For page layout purposes, apps that use a portrait orientation usually fit well in a one-third or three-column layout. Apps that use a landscape orientation usually fit well in a one-column layout. The PowerApps web part (preview) for SharePoint Online does not yet support screen readers or keyboard navigation.Announcing PowerApps web part (preview) general availability
We are happy to announce that we will be starting to roll out the PowerApps web part (preview) to all tenants worldwide today! It has been a great journey so far with lots of learning along the way. We have just started the rollout, so your tenant should see it as we rollout gradually for all tenants. Please be aware that it might take few days for the web part to be available in your tenants. As a bonus, the web part now allows you to show a border around the app to make it more seamless on the page. Please let us know any feedback or suggestion you have. We did get a lot of feedback with the Targeted Release especially around the ability to embed custom forms and passing parameters to the app. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to work on our backlog. Meanwhile, let us know how you are using the web part, what you like and not like.Using SharePoint List Choice field in PowerApps
Hi all, If you've tried to create a PowerApp that filters or searches on a choice field in a SharePoint list, you may have found that it doesn't work. This is because today, PowerApps expects the filtered/searched fields to be text fields. I found a simple work-around for this by using a Calculated field in SharePoint for the choice field as PowerApps treats calculcated fields as text fields. In the example below, the field I'm interested to search on is a choice field called bugStatus. Instead, my PowerApp uses bugStatusValue in its search field.Modern SharePoint lists are here—including integration with Microsoft Flow and PowerApps!
Earlier this year, we unveiled a new cloud-first, mobile-first vision and roadmap for SharePoint, which included innovations that empower people, teams and organizations to intelligently discover, share and collaborate on content from anywhere and on any device. Today, we’re pleased to announce the rollout of modern SharePoint lists to SharePoint Online, along with one-click integration of PowerApps and Microsoft Flow. These enhancements will begin rolling out to Office 365 First Release customers the first week in August 2016. Learn more about this from Chris McNulty on the blog.Set values for Managed Metadata (aka Taxonomy) columns in PowerApps and Flow! (First Release)
Hi everyone, As of today, you will be able to set the values of your managed metadata columns (sometimes also called taxonomy columns) in PowerApps (for both multi-value and single value) and in Flow (single value for now, but multi-value coming soon...) Here's a sample multi-value taxonomy column that was tied to a termset for languages. We are not fully all the way there: the default values are not yet showing up if they are set, and we don't yet let you disambiguate between different paths while you are typing, but we think this is a great net new add for our customers who love and use the managed metadata columns. Please give it a try, and let us know your feedback. In your First Release tenant, you can create a new app, or custom forms, or go to an existing app and refresh the schema to get the new columns. We expect to start rolling out to Production in the last week of November if we don't hit any blocking issues.PowerApps and Microsoft Flow generally available on the 1st of November
Microsoft has just announced that Microsoft PowerApps and Microsoft Flow will be generally available on the 1st of November …and that is just tomorrow . You can read the full announcement here. Microsoft PowerApps and Microsoft Flow will be part of Dynamics 365 and Office 365 plans (Enterprise and Business).
List Forms designed with PowerApps - Interface Change after Microsoft Update
An update was rolled out to M365 Tenants I believe which included new Microsoft Lists User Experience Update. Existing lists configured with PowerApps forms were updated after this rollout and forms using full width (Large landscape orientation) now appear with horizontal scrollbar. Forms also appear as a dialog box rather than from bottom right. Under list settings, open forms as dialog box are selected as a No. Is it possible to fix this through Admin Center configuration for PowerApps or SharePoint? Have community members observed this as well?
