4.3. Build a basic model-driven app

In Microsoft Power Apps, a model-driven app is a type of app that provides a UI that is automatically generated from the metadata of a Common Data Service (CDS) data model. The data model describes the data and the relationships between different types of data, such as entities, attributes, and relationships.

Building a basic model-driven app involves creating a new app in Power Apps and selecting the “Model-driven app” option. From there, you can choose to create the app from scratch or use a pre-built template.

Once you have created the app, you can add entities to the app, which represent different types of data that you want to work with in the app. You can also modify forms, create and modify views, and add charts and dashboards to the app.

In addition, you can use the app designer to create business processes and workflows to automate tasks and manage data in the app. This can include things like approvals, notifications, and data validation rules.

Overall, building a basic model-driven app involves defining the data model and creating a UI and workflows that allow users to interact with and manage that data. This can be a powerful way to create custom business applications that meet the specific needs of your organization.
