Adding custom page to model-driven app

Posted on by MMCJF

Hi,

I am currently creating an canvas app to embed in a model-driven form in order to be able to work with a more flexible layout.

However, I read this article regarding custom pages (preview): Add a custom page to your model-driven app - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs and thought that it might be useful for a better integration with the mode-driven app.

It describes how to add a custom page into a site map. However, I am not sure if custom pages can be embedded in forms like canvas apps and whether this is a better option than embedding an canvas app - can anybody help?

Regards

Did you able to figure out how to pass record object from Dataverse to Custom Page when it is embedded in form?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you.

Even if we incorporated the access in the form, this method required sharing the access separately. Access to the custom pages doesn't need to be granted separately.

Can we include a custom page inside a form without granting anyone else access to the custom pages that are contained in the form?

How did you get the account name within the custom page?

Hi Maja Møller Christensen,

It is possible to implement custom pages that can be embedded in forms such as canvas applications. I did the following test:

1.Go to Power Apps and select your Canvas App, then click on Edit->Edit in preview.

2.Select the custom page and click on Edit.

3.Find the App ID of this page and copy it.

4.Select the Table, which includes the form where the canvas app needs to be shown. Select Forms and choose the Main Form.

5.In the form designer, select the section on the form where the embedded canvas app needs to appear.

Either select + Component from the top menu, or select the component icon from the left hand menu. This opens the components pane.

6.Paste the copied App ID into the Static value of App ID and save it.

7.Save and publish.

About which would be better, this is based on our business and application scenarios Canvas Apps are designed to build a flexible user interface that connects to various data sources easily, whereas model driven apps are designed with an out of the box business model that you can easily extend and integrate.
