Course Objective & Scope

Canvas Apps give makers pixel-level control over user experience for field operations, inspections and internal workflows, but unoptimized formulas and non-delegable queries quickly degrade performance at scale. This course focuses on engineering maintainable, production-ready Canvas applications.

Participants build responsive layouts with auto-layout containers, write clean Power Fx logic for state and data manipulation, design delegation-safe queries against large datasets and create reusable UI components in a shared Component Library.

Who Should Attend?

  • Low-code makers and developers building custom task and field apps in Power Apps
  • Business analysts and IT specialists connecting SharePoint, SQL and Dataverse to rich UIs
  • Teams refactoring existing Canvas Apps for better performance, UX consistency and maintainability
  • Prerequisite: basic Power Platform awareness or comfort with spreadsheet formulas

Key Takeaways

  • Design responsive desktop, tablet and mobile screens using horizontal and vertical containers
  • Master Power Fx state management, collections and data updates with Patch and ForAll
  • Write delegation-compliant queries over Dataverse, SharePoint and SQL Server
  • Handle runtime errors gracefully with IfError and diagnose bottlenecks using Power Apps Monitor
  • Publish standardized UI controls via Component Library and deploy through Solutions
