Power Apps Express Design: Transforming a Drawing into a Functioning App in Minutes!

Power Apps Express Design: Transforming a Drawing into a Functioning App in Minutes!

Microsoft recently announced express design capabilities for Power Apps, which leverages design artifacts (paper forms, drawings, or Figma files) and translates them into a functioning Power Apps application.

Let's see this magic in action!

Here's my rough sketch of a form my team wants to build out.

I can take a photo of my form and navigate to Power Apps and create an app from an image.

Power Apps starts to tag my image.

I can specify the data type of each of these fields. For example, I want the Date field to be a Date Picker, rather than a text field.

Now, all my fields are properly tagged.

Ah yes, I need a place to store this data - I'll create a Dataverse table to store my event speaker sign up records.

I can map the image components to fields in Dataverse, change the field type, and choose the primary name column.

I finish the process and patiently wait for the app to be created for me.

Success!

From here, I can customize my app and add more features/capabilities.

I’m skeptical of the use case…don’t see folks actually using this in the real world. Just use a digital whiteboard or mock-up tool. Save some paper and iterate without having to breakout the wite-out.
