An overview of the course content and what you will learn.
We will be designing the welcome screen(branding, colours and some navigation)
We will be adding the relevant fields to capture the type of holiday a user requests (ie date from and date to, type of holiday)
Calculating how many days holiday a user requests based on start and end date values selected is what we will focus on in this lecture.
We will use the Patch command to upload records captured in the Power App Booking Screen to the SharePoint List.
Capturing the Line Managers name and email is what we shall cover. We shall create a SharePoint list with all the Line Managers and update the Power App to see the Line Managers from the created SharePoint list.
Continuing on our journey of capturing the Line Managers name and email address in the Booking Screen Power App.
Using Power Automate to notify a manager when an employee has submitted a holiday request.
When a holiday request is rejected by the Line Manager. Ensuring the holiday balance of the requestor remains the same if a holiday request has been rejected.
Ensuring that when a holiday is approved the requestors holiday balance is reduced accordingly. Also showing you the notification that the requestor receives about the outcome of his holiday request.
Recap of the course covered.
This course is an introduction to the Microsoft Power Apps. The best way to learn how to use the Power Apps is to go through a real use case scenario - building a Holiday Booking App. Your organization will already have invested in O365 perhaps for email (Exchange Online) or document storage (SharePoint Online). Well wouldn't it be nice to be able to make even more use of your investment at no extra cost? This course will show you just how to do this with your existing licence subscription - that is to say using the Microsoft applications you have already invested in through your existing licence.
In terms of the use case, maybe your organization uses spreadsheets and email, or maybe your have already invested in a stand alone holiday booking solution. This course will empower you to create a simple holiday booking solution that can be applied to your organization and in doing so make the most out of your Office 365 investment.
The feature that you learn in making this solution are applicable to many other use case scenarios ie Expense Approval, Invoice Approval and so on. There shall be future lessons covering theses areas but even before these courses are released.. believe you me, after this course your will be super confident to get stuck in and create your own Power Aps. So fasten your digital seatbelts and lets go!
