Introduction to Microsoft Power Apps:
Power Apps is a suite of apps, services, connectors, and a data platform that provides you with an opportunity to build custom apps for your business needs with no or low code.
With Power Apps, you can:
- Build an app quickly by using the skills that you already have.
- Connect to the cloud services and data sources that you’re already using.
- Share your apps instantly so that co-workers can use them on their phones and tablets.

Power Apps Home Page:
To create apps in Power Apps, sign into the Power Apps portal using this link.

Create an App:
Apps can be created in multiple ways, either as a Blank app or by connecting to different data sources like Dataverse, SharePoint, Excel, SQL, etc., or by using templates.
In this section, let’s create an app from a SharePoint List.
The List used here is Employee_info with sample data.

In the below example, we are trying to create an app from the share point List as shown below

Once the share point is selected, it allows you to choose the required data source ( Employee_Info list) from the list of all the available datasets available under the particular environment.

Select the data source and click Connect.

The above screen conveys that the connection to the source is established successfully, and the Power apps is trying to create a three-screen app from the share point List Employee_Info.
Once the three-screen app is created, the screen looks like the below screen.

Click on skip and the 3-screen app is visible, as shown below.

In the Browse screen app, you can see all the records from your connected source. You can sort the records, refresh and also add new records on this screen.
The next screen is the Detailed screen, where details of each record can be viewed. You can also delete the record or change the record from this screen.

The last screen is the Edit screen, which helps edit the selected record, and the updates/changes you make here will be directly updated to the source, i.e., Employee_info List in SharePoint.

This is how Microsoft Power Apps creates a three-screen basic canvas app just by selecting the data source (i.e., SharePoint List in the above scenario).
Sharing the App:
Once the app is built, save it by providing the app name (e.g., “Application for Employee”) and then publish the app to share it with a larger audience.

Provide the email id of the user you want to share the app with, set permissions such as co-owner (ability to edit/modify the app), and share the app.

Conclusion:
This is how we can create a simple three-screen Power App from scratch using a SharePoint List as the data source without writing a single line of code. Finally, share the app with end users.
