Using Microsoft Lists VS using Microsoft Dataverse in a Power App
I had to step away from a proof of concept I was working on. Now that I have returned, I have some concerns and puzzles.
I thought I had created a Microsoft List from scratch for this proof of concept to be used by a Microsoft Power App. But after looking closely at the Power App, I am not so sure of what is going on. Maybe you can tell me what is going on.
I have created a Microsoft List and I created a Power App to interact with it. Here is the header of the Power App loaded in the Power Studio:
The App is full of data and when tested seems to run properly. When I investigate what its database connection is, I see this icon on the left side:
I am shocked that clicking on this icon does not reveal what I expect it to show. I expect it to show that I am using a Microsoft List as a database source. Instead, I see this:
This is not as I expected. I notice that the name of the database is "x300 Proof of Concepts" whilst I remember creating my Microsoft List as "x300 Proof of Concept" (without the s at the end). And when I bring up my Microsoft Lists I see the List that I expect to find.
While the Microsoft List "x300 Proof of Concept" looks similar. I do not think it is exactly the same thing. How can I find the other database and how can I assign my Microsoft Power App to the other data soucr, the Microsoft List?
