HED accelerator & postgraduates

Hello again, I would like to start building a CRM in the area of postgraduate studies (and then other areas). We have started the process of purchasing a PowerApps license and I want to use the Higher education accelerator. Are there any trainings / guidance for understand and customizing an accelerator for HighEd?

Best regards

Artur

Hi Astankiewicz,

“Thanks for your message, there are a few different resources that would be helpful here based on your ask.

Since the Education Accelerator is built on the Power Platform utilizing the Common Data Service, you can extend your implementation of the Education Accelerator in many of the same ways you can customers Customer Service or Customer Sales in Dynamics.

Extending schema – You can add schema to entities as well as add new entities on the accelerator in your own solution later to represent your own schema needs.

Here is a good learning course that will help you understand how to extend your schema: Manage tables in Dataverse - Learn | Microsoft Docs

Extending the User Interface – Depending on which interface you are working with, I hope the next area of guidance is useful:

Model Driven Apps – These are LOB type applications usually utilized by business users. Here is a good place to get started. Overview of building a model-driven app with Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs

Canvas Apps – For scenarios where you need a pixel perfect application (Mobile, Tablet or Embedded)
