You might think that you need an app, but should you choose a model-driven app or a canvas app? You know that you need some business logic to be implemented, but how do you choose the way to implement the business logic when there are so many different possibilities and ways to design and build a solution? On this page, we've tried to gather information about choosing the right technology.

General

  • Look at the requirements, what is the actual needs?
  • Have licensing in mind. Can we use Dynamics? Can we use Datverse etc.?

Power Apps

So you think you need an app and now you need to figure out which app type to choose.

Data Modeling with Dataverse

Model-driven apps

This chapter contains guidance for designing model-driven apps.

UI extensions

Business Rules

Business Rules can be used e.g. in order to set a column as mandatory or hide/display a column depending on some certain logic. Used for more simpler form logic/manipulations.

Form Scripting

When you reach limitations in Business Rules (e.g. you need to hide/show a column based on the value of a related table's column) developers can use JavaScript to implement the form logic.

User Notifications in model-driven apps

In-app notifications give the user notifications within the model-driven app and these notifications can be seen when using the app.
