The skill of “Identify Basic Power Apps Capabilities” focuses on the foundational knowledge of the Power Apps platform. In this skill, you will learn about the differences between canvas and model-driven apps, their use cases, and their capabilities.
Canvas apps are designed for creating custom user interfaces (UIs) that can connect to a variety of data sources. Canvas apps are more flexible than model-driven apps because they are built from scratch, and their design can be customized to a greater degree. Model-driven apps, on the other hand, are designed for building complex data-driven apps. They rely on a data model to define the structure of the app and its behavior. They also have a more rigid layout structure compared to canvas apps.
In addition to the difference between canvas and model-driven apps, you will also learn about the capabilities of each type of app. For example, canvas apps allow you to create custom UI elements and have a wider range of control over data inputs and outputs. Model-driven apps allow you to create complex business logic, advanced data relationships, and powerful integrations with other Microsoft products like Dynamics 365.
Overall, this skill is crucial in understanding the basic building blocks of Power Apps and how to utilize each type of app to build efficient and effective business solutions.
