Building Business Applications with Power Apps & Power Automate — Lesson 2: Power Apps User Experience

Learning Objectives

• Build forms, galleries, views, navigation, responsive layouts, and reusable components
• Use Power Fx for validation, filtering, searching, patching, and user-context logic
• Apply accessibility, delegation awareness, performance, and clear error feedback

Detailed Topics

• Build forms: Build forms, galleries, views, navigation, responsive layouts, and reusable components
• Use Power Fx for validation: Use Power Fx for validation, filtering, searching, patching, and user-context logic
• Apply accessibility: Apply accessibility, delegation awareness, performance, and clear error feedback

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, users, data, dependencies, permissions, risks, and expected result.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, application, automation, analysis, security, or development workflow step by step.
3. Capture settings, outputs, logs, screenshots, calculations, test results, and other useful evidence.
4. Compare the observed result with acceptance criteria and explain any corrective action.

Hands-On Activity

Develop a responsive application for request and record management.

• Document assumptions, prerequisites, and the planned sequence before starting.
• Complete the activity and preserve evidence of normal, boundary, and failure behavior.
• Record issues, corrective actions, reusable notes, and the next improvement priority.

Scenario Analysis

• Identify the business or technical decision that must be made.
• Compare valid implementation approaches and their trade-offs.
• Consider security, privacy, accessibility, performance, support, and operational impact.

Troubleshooting Focus

• Separate symptoms from causes and collect evidence before applying a fix.
• Check configuration, data, permissions, dependencies, capacity, connectivity, and recent changes.
• Validate rollback, recovery, ownership, user impact, and business continuity.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement, scope, inputs, and expected outcome are clear.
• The selected design or configuration is documented and follows approved standards.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, accessibility, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• The result is supported by evidence and the next improvement is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Power Apps User Experience in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
