PL 400: Configure a model-driven app (Create model-driven apps)

In the no/low code platform era, Model Driven Applications deliver remarkable acceleration and quality in business application implementations. Model driven application is a subtype of behavioral model and is a model centric approach to software design and implementation that uses a subset of models to describe systems. It provides a set of guidelines for the structuring, which are expressed as "Models".

Component focused approach is the main epitome of app development with model driven app design and a primary element of power apps and no-code solutions where we can build an app with varying levels of complexity. We use model driven apps, most of the layout is pre-defined and is mainly specified by the components we add to the app.

In the Model Driven Application:
  • Create business models that are independent of the data schema.
  • Generated user interface model for UI and runtime personalization/visualization.
  • declarative model properties
  • Declarative pre and post validation on model operations.

The Dataverse is the main tool which we configure our unique Model- Driven App Solution. 

Model Driven Apps require a Dataverse database and are built on top of all the models in that database instance. Model - Driven Apps embody Views and Detail Screens based on a data structure. Model-driven apps are mobile-friendly and in out-of-the-box responsive layouts and allow business process flow guidance, which normally makes them used for heavy data maintenance or backend operations teams.

 Model-driven app design provides the following benefits:-

  • Rich component-focused no code design environments.
  • Create complex responsive apps with a similar UI across a variety of devices from desktop to mobile.
  • Rich design capabilities.
  • Our App can be distributed as a Solution.

At a fundamental level, Model-driven app making consists of three key focus areas:

  • Modeling business data.
  • Defining Business Processes
  • Composing the App.

Another area provided by Microsoft as Authoring Custom Pages to date is Preview Mode.

Modeling Business Data:

To model business data we determine what data our app will need and how that data will relate to other data. Model-driven Design uses a metadata-driven architecture so that designers can customize the application without writing code.

Defining Business Process:

Defining and enforcing consistent Business Processes is a key aspect of Model-driven app design.

Authoring Custom Pages (Preview):

This is a new page type that authored in the Canvas App designer using flexible layout, low code power Fx function and Power App connectors.

Composing the Model-driven App:

After modeling data and defining processes, we build our app by selecting and configuring the components.

Configure the Model-driven app:

  • Sign into Power Apps (https://make.powerapps.com).


  • On the theme page, select Model-driven app from Blank
    •  Name: Enter a name for the App .
    • Unique Name: It is unique name of the app.
    • Description : Enter the short description about app.

PCF vs. Web Resources: Choosing the Right Extensibility Tool for Dataverse

Image
Extensibility refers to the ability to be extended or augmented beyond the default capabilities of the platform. This involves customization but also includes more advanced techniques, such as coding, integration with external services, and the use of custom components. In the context of Power Platform and Dynamics CRM, the term "extend behavior" refers to the ability to customize and extend the functionality of the platform to meet specific business needs. Extensibility often requires technical skills, such as coding in JavaScript, C#, or using tools like Azure Logic Apps and Power Automate for complex integrations. Customization  is a subset of extensibility. Customization involves configuring and modifying existing elements within the platform to suit specific business needs. Extensibility, on the other hand, covers a wide range of functions and techniques, including customization and more advanced development and integration tasks, to extend the capabilities of the Power

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
