PL 400: Configure Columns (Create model-driven apps)

In the world of digitization, relational databases have a special place and work in a significant way. Although the table and its relations are important factors, columns play an important role to store the data. Columns have value along with their data behavior which is widely used in programming world. A column can also be called an attribute. Word Fields use interchangeable in the place columns in general.

In a Dataverse, columns define individual data items that can be used to store information in a table. The Power Apps portal provides an easy way to create and edit columns with Microsoft Dataverse.
The nature of the column is defined by the data type which determines the type of data that can be entered or selected.

Data for Model-Driven App is defined in the Microsoft Dataverse. Fields are a way to store a discreate piece of information with a record in an entity. The configuration of columns are possible in the two ways.

By Power Apps Portal:

  • From the Power Apps portal, select Data > Tables and 
  • select the table that has the columns you want to view.


By Solution Explorer:

The column in a form display controls the controls people use to view or edit data in a table row. Columns can be formatted to contain up to four columns within a section.

We can access Common Field Properties in Solution Explorer. Under Components, expand Entities, expand the table we want, and then select Forms. Open the main type of form in the list of forms. Then double-click one of the columns to view common column properties.


Custom Control:

Custom Controls let us transform columns that traditionally contain text into visualization, similarly we can use custom controls to transform datasets, such as view, to display in a more visual rendering rather than a list of rows. Custom Control can appear as visualization on Forms, Dashboards, Views and homepage grids.

Is Debt Prosperity or Trap?

 “What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?”  Adam Smith Grandfather Bhishma lay on the bed of arrows and was preaching the future king of Hastinapur about political science, economics and the duties of the king. He took a deep breath and told Yudhishthira " Fire, debt and enemies must be dealt with quickly and completely. If there is any balance left, they can continue to grow. " The future king was listening with curiosity and was eager to learn about the complete knowledge from his grandsire. Each moment was important as the sun was moving from south to north. Either we read the quote of the father of modern economics or both ancient great scholars are advising to avoid debt. But the whole of modern economics is based on the debt that advises the public to borrow money. The aggressive campaign of banks and financial institutions has been luring more and more loans. Even democratic governments and public banks con
