Power Apps – Enhanced UI Development — Lesson 1: UI Design System and Layout

Learning Objectives

• Define visual hierarchy, spacing, typography, color, states, and component rules
• Use containers, responsive formulas, breakpoints, and adaptive layouts
• Create reusable themes, icons, assets, and interface standards

Detailed Topics

• Define visual hierarchy: Define visual hierarchy, spacing, typography, color, states, and component rules
• Use containers: Use containers, responsive formulas, breakpoints, and adaptive layouts
• Create reusable themes: Create reusable themes, icons, assets, and interface standards

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, users, data, dependencies, permissions, risks, and expected result.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, application, automation, analysis, or administration 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

Create a Power Apps UI design system and responsive shell.

• 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 UI Design System and Layout in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
