This change was an intentional as the prefix did not serve any practical purpose. Existing data sources will not be affected, but any newly added SQL data sources will not include the prefix. If you need to update a large number of formulas in one of your apps, the Power Apps Source File Pack and Unpack Utility can be used to do a global search-and-replace.

[CRACKED] Microsoft Power Apps Update Includes New Common Data Service

If you install this update for Windows 8.1, you can't run apps that you open in Power Apps Studio on that operating system. However, you can still run apps that you open in powerapps.com or using Power Apps Mobile.

Today we announced the general availability of PowerApps. This new service enables power users to solve problems that previously required professional development resources. Along with PowerApps we are happy to announce the general availability of the Common Data Service. This data service adds powerful data storage and modeling capabilities to PowerApps. Our objective for the Common Data Service is to enable the following capabilities for the PowerApps, Microsoft Flow and Pro development communities:

The combination of PowerApps and the Common Data Service provides power users and enterprises a best of breed solution for rapid application development. It is now possible to build beautiful cross-platform, multi-data source applications in a fast iterative manner. At the same time, there is no trade off for data governance as apps run against a scalable, secure and compliant data store. The best of both worlds: fast iterative construction of beautiful apps on a secure and compliant data store.



Additionally, combining the ability to use PowerApps and Microsoft Flow connectors and custom APIs against many existing services and applications with the ability to store data in the Common Data Service opens up new ways to build and deploy apps and business processes.

Our goal for the common data model is to ensure that data is not locked within app specific custom entities. The value of a common data model is greatly diminished when apps cannot share data. Standard entities allow apps to share common concepts and build on each others data.

We have made refinements to standard entities to make them easier to use and extend. One example is the use of the picklist data type to classify types of workers. The Worker entity now uses a new field, Worker.Type to specialize workers. This field is a picklist with values [Employee, Contractor, Volunteer]. In the near future we will roll out a feature to customize and create picklists which will complete the story and allow the Worker entity to be easily tailored for multiple scenarios. The common data model is our journey with you, with your help, we will continue to understand what should be common, what can be shared and what will drive productivity across apps.

Letting you browse and manage your data as easily as possible is our goal. Simple browsing and updates are the basics, we want to do more with data. We want to combine data stored in Common Data Service with data you already have in office and relate to entities that you use daily like emails and meetings. The people and organization entities in the Common Data Model naturally complement email recipients and meeting attendees. We have introduced a preview feature to explore these possibilities with a new Outlook Add-in. The Outlook Add-in shows data from the Common Data Service related to the people in emails and meetings. In this first release, the Outlook Add-in only looks for related data in a few entities such as Cases. We are working hard to support showing related data from many more standard entities and all the custom entities that register for the service.

Enabling you to build beautiful cross platform, multi-data source applications in a fast iterative manner on a scalable, secure and compliant data store is our vision and goal. We will listen to your requirements and ideas and deliver continuously. We gave you a preview in August, we are delivering a major update in November. We have heard your requests for PowerBI integration. We understand that you need robust application lifecycle management features to help you build, test, deploy and sell your applications. We know that enterprises require richer security features. We hear you and are committed to making the PowerApps service the best place to build enterprise applications.

The PowerApps team greatly values the feedback we receive from our community. One of the features that has been frequently requested is the ability for app authors to quickly and easily add forms to apps without having to build them from scratch. This is especially helpful when the forms are designed to work with existing data and common form design patterns such as displaying a list of records, viewing or editing a record are needed.

Canvas apps enable app makers to deliver a rich, pixel-perfect user experience via low-code customization capabilities. They also support connecting to more than 200 data sources including a range of cloud services (such as Office 365 and SharePoint) as well as on-premises data sources (via a gateway). Now app makers can bring these capabilities directly into their model-driven apps by embedding canvas apps in their model-driven forms.

App makers can embed canvas apps in their model-driven forms just like they add custom controls. Model-driven forms can also pass data context of the current record, a related record, or a set of related records to an embedded canvas app. This functionality empowers app makers to create rich, contextual sections, grids, and other components, as well as visualizations that display data from Common Data Service for Apps and a wide array of external data sources.

PowerApps is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) at its core. It enables users to construct Mobile Apps that operate on a variety of platforms, including Android, iOS, and Windows (Modern Apps), as well as practically any Web browser. Power Apps is a set of apps, services, adapters, and data platforms that work together to create an agile development environment for creating unique software that meets business needs. You may quickly construct unique business apps with Power Apps that interface with your company's data, which is deposited either from the underpinning data platform (Common Data Service) or from a variety of internet and on-premises data sources (SharePoint, Excel, Office 365, Dynamics 365, SQL Server, and so on).

The common data service allows data from several sources to be combined into a single store that can be used in Power Automate, Power Virtual Agent, Power BI, and PowerApps. This makes the app development process go as smoothly as possible. The Common Data Service will enable you to store and manage data that is securely utilised by business applications The data that is saved in the Common Data Service is organised into a set of entities. A set of records is referred to as an entity, and it is used to store data in the same way that a table does in a database. The Common Data Service also has a set of basic entities that will handle most circumstances, but you can also construct new entities that are unique to your company and populate them with data using Power Query. PowerApps will be used by app developers to create sophisticated applications based on this data.

At its heart, PowerApps is regarded as a Platform as a Service. It allows users to create Mobile Apps that can run on various platforms such as Android, iOS, Windows (Modern Apps), but almost any Web browser. Power Apps is a collection of apps, services, adapters, and data platforms which help to provide an agile development environment to enable custom software based on business requirements.With Power Apps, you can rapidly create custom business applications that communicate to your company's data, that is deposited either from the underpinning data platform (Common Data Service) or in multiple internet and on-premises data sources (SharePoint, Excel, Office 365, Dynamics 365, SQL Server, and so on).

Using Common Data Service, users will be able to safely maintain the data used by enterprise applications. The information stored in the Common Data Service is in accordance with a set of entities. An entity is a collection of records which are used to store data, comparable to a table that contains data in a database.Common Data Service also includes a base number of predefined entities that encompass the most common topics, and you can also build custom entities that are unique to your company and initialize them with data using Power Query. PowerApps will be used by app developers to create rich applications based on this data.

Canvas Apps: Canvas Apps seem to be apps that begin your customer experience, enabling users to create a custom customized interface with power of a blank slate and communicate it to at least 200 data sources. You can also create canvas apps for web, mobile, and tablet applications.Canvas apps give you the freedom to customize the user experience and interface in any way you see fit. It also means allowing your originality and business knowledge to participate and advise you in deciding how your apps should be represented.

Model-driven Apps: Model-driven Apps would be those which begin with your database schema, which will be built up from the form of your key business systems and information in the CDS to model forms, views, and many other components. Model-driven apps might very well generate great user interfaces that really are attentive across devices. Once you generate a model-driven app, you can use the Common Data Service's full power to quickly configure your forms, business rules, and process flows. You can also download model-driven apps from the Power Apps site.

Microsoft PowerApps includes Flow and other Office 365 automation technologies that offer many features and tools. They help you to build power apps without coding. These are some of the important features of MS PowerApps:
