No code. 100% useful. Azure Power Apps work at step 0.

Overview of My Submission

I've been following the Azure Trial Hack challenge, and I can't believe there's only one entry in the Low-Code Legends category. Hat tip to Bhagya for doing some good work.

Given the field size of one, I'm sure this no-code (literally in every way) submission won't even merit a mention. It may not even qualify! It just has to be said how much this platform gives you though. I'm calling it step zero because I just created the app, and exported the app manifest. All this functionality is for free, no work required.

Let me show you what I did with Power Apps Canvas, and what you get for free when you first create a project and point it to a data source like Sharepoint. It's like free productivity, and everyone should be using this tool.

Including this post writeup, I'm 15 minutes in and it's the end of the competition. I shouldn't be able to produce anything, but Power Apps has my back. Let's see...

Sharepoint list

I already have a Sharepoint list that I've been using to track my team's portfolio of projects.

Ok, cool. That's useful. I use it and love it.

Now... I'm going to create a new Power App from the Sharepoint template, pick that list, and here's a full working app.

It figured everything out. Read, filter, sort, create and edit.

Look, it even pulled in all my list options.

Not awful, huh?

No code. At all.




Microsoft: give me a prize, and I'll maybe fill out a real app. But who needs to, this took no time at all.
