Enhance user experience with model driven Power apps

I haven’t blogged in a while, life and work has gotten in the way as it often does. Now I’m back with a short, but sweet hidden (no-code) gem in model driven Power Apps that could help make your view better for users.

Buildings

In Customer Insights – Journeys, you have events. These events can be in buildings. These buildings can be connected to rooms. For some event organizers, managing multiple buildings and rooms can be challenging. It can be hard to keep an overview of each building’s contents. Tracking what information each room has can also be difficult. To see which room is registered and what information it has, you must go into the room view. Alternatively, you can open the building records. Could there be an easier way of doing this?

Changing the view

Go to make.powerapps.com and select the view you want to edit (through solutions, don’t go rogue!). I’ve selected “Active buildings”.

When you open the view you need to select “Components” in the top bar.

From there you can add new components, click “Get more components”

In the list of components, select “Power Apps grid control” and click “Add”.

Now you get the option to edit the component. I’ve selected “Rooms” as the table I want to show, and the view from “Rooms” I want to show. Go through the different options and test to see what makes the view best for your users.

When I’m done and I’ve published, this is how the “Active buildings” view look in the app. I can open a subgrid in the building view. It shows me the different rooms connected to the buildings. It also provides information about these rooms.
