Welcome to the next part in my series about building a modern solution in SharePoint. This post we are going to cover integrating PowerApps as a custom list form in your solution. When PowerApps was first released, Microsoft made sure that everyone knew it wasn’t built for SharePoint. In fact the first examples that Microsoft provided didn’t even involve SharePoint. Since then SharePoint lists and libraries can be accessed by PowerApp forms using connectors into those environments. Finally, in the final quarter of 2017 Microsoft provided the ability to integrate PowerApps directly into a list form, thus overriding the default forms of a list. So like the InfoPath forms of days gone by, you can now use PowerApps for creating, editing and viewing data in your lists. This post will cover setting up a PowerApp for these list forms. The next post we will customize the form more to meet our needs for this solution.
