Overview

  • Module 1: Dataverse lets you securely store and manage data that's used by business applications. Standard and custom tables within Dataverse provide a secure and cloud-based storage option for your data.

    This module explains how to:

    • Create tables with Dataverse
    • Import data into a Dataverse database
  • Module 2: Model-driven app design is an approach that focuses on quickly adding components to your apps. These components include dashboards, forms, views, and charts. With little to no code, you can make apps that are simple or complex. Unlike in canvas app development, where the designer has total control over the app layout, much of the layout in model-driven apps is determined by the components you add. In other words, the emphasis is more on quickly viewing your business data and making decisions than on intricate app design.

    In this module, you will:

    • Learn about model-driven app design
    • Create a model-driven app

  • Module 5: Configure your own Power Platform model-driven application, canvas application and Power Automate cloud flow to support a scenario for a fictional company. You'll be provided with high-level specifications on the company's applications and automation requirements to complete this project. [!NOTE] This is a Challenge Project module where you complete an end-to-end project using high-level guidance; there are no step-by-step instructions.
