Harnessing Mobility with Dynamics 365 & Powerapps

Today, the business progressively depends on mobile technology. The next  generation  of enterprise mobility will be about  driving a continuous,integrated mobile experience – giving employees, customers, and partners the ability to pick up any device and have immediate access to all of the data, tools, interfaces, and controls they want. But they need to be able to do this without negotiating data security and integrity

 Enterprise Mobile computing lets us tackle nearly any vocational  task  from  our  phones. Mobile  apps  for business  tasks  have  lagged  behind. Those  apps  that  do exist  have  not   always  been  as  comprehensive or available  as  desktop  solutions. Microsoft  saw  this issue and  presented  a cure: Microsoft Power Apps, which  is  part of  Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Mobility with Dynamics 365 & Power Apps

 Dynamics 365 is  the  cloud-bundled  version  of  its CRM  and  ERP  solutions. The  benefit  of  the  Power Apps  assimilation  into   Dynamics 365   is  that  users  can  modify and  share  apps  that  empower  them  to  do  their  jobs improved. But  if  you  are  looking  to  just  build a  simple focused  business  mobile  app, Power Apps are  a  good option. And  Dynamics and  Power Apps  are  not  mutually exclusive,  since  Dynamics  can  be  a data source  for  a Power App. Power Apps   are   also   a  very good    place when  there  are needs for mashup  experiences    where CRM  and  other systems come  in  one  app. If you  want  full Dynamics  functionality  on  a  mobile   device, the  best choice  is  probably  going  to  be  Dynamics 365  mobile apps.  If  you  want   a more   limited focus   mobile  app   that   includes   Dynamics  data  but  also includes    data  and functionality  from   other   sources, Power Apps    may  be  a best  Option.  Essentially,  it  is  a   simple  way  for the average  person  to create  the  apps they,    specifically, need, while  leveraging  the  rich  and  different  data sets that are provided with the Dynamics 365  Business   and   Enterprise Editions.

 Developers and other employees alike can quickly create  the apps  they need with data they  already have, be it on-  premises  or cloud-based.  Power Apps  makes   it  possible  and easy  to create the apps you need in just a few  minutes.  It  doesn’t  matter  whether you  use  an  Android,  an  Apple  device, or  a Windows phone  or  tablet. You  can  still  utilize  an app designed  with  Power  Apps  in  all  3 platforms.

EXPERIENCE IT BEFORE GETTING STARTED

There  are detailed  tutorials available  on  the Microsoft Power apps site.   For   new   dynamics365   users,  Power Apps  will  appear   within  the  app  menu  of Office  365. Upon   logging  in   for  the  first  time, users   will be met with a couple things. In  the  bottom left  corner of the screen, there is a new app button. Click this button, then choose  one of the  two  options  that  appear:  Power Apps Studio  for Windows  or  Power Apps  Studio  for web. If you are  not running  Windows 8 or 10, you  will  want  to  choose the web version. If you have chosen Power Apps for Windows, click Get when the page appears, then click Launch  once  Power Apps  has  downloaded. If  you  have   chosen  the web version, you  can  avoid  that  step. Within the  New tab, choose  to either  start  with  your  data, or  start  with  a blank  canvas or  template.

The  page  that  appears  will allow you to design the app; you will  choose what  order you want data to appear, whether or not to include images, and more.

After designing the app, you can share it with any preferred individuals. You don’t need to know a single bit of code in order to create an app in the PowerApps interface. Creating apps is so fast and simple, the only skill necessary is the ability to drag and drop.
