Introduction

PowerApps is an enterprise service that lets you connect, create, and share business apps with your team in minutes, using any device. You can create PowerApps for an existing list in SharePoint Online.

Let's get started creating a fully functional PowerApps based standalone application. I am going to cover all of the below-mentioned steps throughout multiple articles.

Step To Build PowerApp Screen, Connector And Navigation

Step1 - Log in to PowerApps Portal

Login to https://web.powerapps.com
Select Apps
Select New app and followed by Canvas

Step 2 - Design Home Screen

Select New Screen and Click to Add
Rename the newly added screen; i.e. Home Screen
Select Label and Click to Add
Add three more label sections as added text as given in image.
Change the text with "Welcome to Admin Screen", font-weight and background color, as per your desired look and feel.
Select Media and opt for image for option, then click to add (three times)
Select any image icon and select image from right hand side properties. Set size and positioning as per your desired look and feel.

Step 3 - Add New Screen and Data Table

Add a ListView Screen, Selecta New screen and then click to add.
Rename the screen with Flight List View.
Select the Data table and click to add.
The DataTable will be available under the Flight List View Screen
The DataTable blank section will appear in the middle of the screen.

Step 4 - Connect to a data source i.e. Site URL

Enter SharePoint Online Site URL
Select Connect to get connect with the SPO site.

I have created a list in a SharePoint Online site with dummy data. Below is the screenshot for reference:

Step 5 - Connect to a data source i.e. List Name

Select List name and data will start appearing immediately into the selected database.

Step 6 - Set Navigation from Home to List View Screen

Select home screen and image
Select image into the canvas area
Select the property "On Select " from the dropdown.
Add formula to navigate to different screen

Navigate(FlightListView)

5. Once the user clicks the image, it will navigate the user to the List View Screen

Step 6 - Save, Publish and Test

Save the application, click file -> Save.
Click save button to save the application
Click on the publish button to publish the application and make it available to your intended audience.

Press F5 or click the published version of the app to run.

Power Apps home screen will execute like this.

Once flight details are selected, a List view screen will appear.
