Using Common Data Service for PowerApps - Part 4

In this part, I will be discussion about how to create app through CDS. In short we are connecting CDS with App.

Following steps are required for connecting CDS with app.

Step 1) Login to PowerApps.

Step 2) Go to Create tab and click on Start from data option for creating new default app.

Step 3) Click on  Common data service option.








Step 4) Select your connection and search your entity. After getting your entity click on connect button.













Step 5) Default application process will be started.

Note : In first you might won't be able to see data and Gallery will be empty. For this issue atleast type a least single character in Search bar and your data will  appear soon.

Step 6) Remove unnecessary fields or change field mapping. Like here I have changed of one field and mapped it with  customer name field.

In Edit screen again I have remove irrelevant fields.










Step 7) You app is ready for demo. For testing purpose you can use preview the app option available in right top corner.
