When we build apps, we should always have the user experience (UX) in mind. Either from a design perspective to make it accessible, beautiful to look at, or streamline the process the app is used for. In today’s blog post, we’ll see how we can use a QR Code (generated for free!) to feed the app with the required data, thus reducing inputs from users. Let’s do this! Scenario There are multiple scenarios that would benefit from using a QR Code.

In today’s blog post, we’ll discuss a SharePoint setting that will prevent users from sharing files even if they’re part of the Members group. Furthermore, the experience is also different if the Access Requests feature is turned on or not! This setting is to be used wisely if you don’t want to create frustration amongst your users 😅 Permissions Wether you manage a SharePoint site associated with a Microsoft Teams Team, or a standalone site (with M365 group or not), there will be a default Members group .

Isn’t it useful when you can pick up a value from a control, and move along to other screens with that value to continue your journey nicely? It is. So today’s post is about grabbing a value from a button, and moving on to our next screen. Scenario In our scenario, we’re going to be reporting issues for assets (screens, computers, etc). So we open our company app, and we go through the process of describing the problem.

A good experience when it comes to building apps, is to make sure we don’t display irrelevant information to the users. Sometimes screens are overwhelming, we don’t know where we should click or select, why are greyed out fields on the screen?? We even start wondering if we’ve filled the form correctly… Today’s post is about displaying only the necessary information for the users to fill, via Radio buttons in Power Apps.

Many times in our automation processes, we need to add the Manager of a specific user. Sometimes it’s just for reference, or the process will require an action from the Manager. Today, we’ll see how to add the Manager automatically in SharePoint using Power Automate. SharePoint list I have a SharePoint list called Employees containing (at least) 2 columns: EmployeeName Manager Both columns are “Person or Group” fields. Power Automate For this demo, we’re going to use a manual trigger, but your process will likely require “When a new item is created” or another trigger depending on your requirements.

Another post about how to improve the looks of any given app! We’re used to have buttons for the navigation, this is the classic way of doing things and it works very well of course. But when Microsoft released new modern controls, the TabList control is pretty awesome to create our navigation 😁 Connect the TabList control When you add the TabList control, you can connect to a data source, or you can insert the values directly into the Items property of that control.

Today, we’ll create something visually useful for our galleries 😁 How about “something” that would make us recognize what type of training we’re looking at, quickly, and at a glance? Sounds great BUT we may have a couple of possible scenarios depending on how our source data is structured. Let me explain. Scenario 1 Let’s imagine our company built an Power Apps app for users to browse trainings available and we display the catalogue over a gallery.

In this article, I’d like to share the top 8 actions that I find the most useful in Power Automate Desktop (PAD). Those actions are based on my experience of course, so maybe yours are different 😉 If you have legacy applications with no API, complex processes using desktop apps, or want to get elements from a web page, then Power Automate Desktop does a fantastic job in all of that plus more!
