Introduction
In this guide, I’ll Walk you through creating your first PowerApps Custom Page in Dynamics 365. This beginner-friendly approach will demystify the process and include a high-level use-case to inspire your developing use-cases in creative and simple way.
Why are Custom Pages good?
Custom Pages are Model-Driven exclusive Pages that can be used with Dataverse/CRM easily, it can bring flexibility and power to your Model-Driven Apps by allowing tailored layouts, interactive designs, and seamless integration within Dynamics 365. Custom Pages supports Power FX commands which are not present in Canvas Apps.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Custom Page
Step 1: Prerequisites and Environment Setup
Ensure users have the necessary permissions and access to PowerApps Studio and Dynamics 365.
Also, prefer using Solutions as pages are seen in solutions but not in Apps section.
Step 2: Create a New Custom Page
There are 2 ways to create Custom Page, I will highly recommend 1st point but 2nd point is also there for your knowledge.
- [Recommended]: Always create a Custom Pages in a solution then add that page to your Model-Driven App.
This is useful because Pages are not visible outside on Apps section, so finding the Custom Page is hard compared to Canvas Apps. - Another way to create a Custom Page is by editing respective Model-Driven App and add new ‘Page’. A prompt will be shown and you can edit and land to PowerApps Editor screen for Page.
You will land to PowerApps Editor screen for Page after this
Add desired content to the Page as per your use-case, for the blog purpose, I made a contacts page. Save your Custom Page and Publish it.
[Note: Do save and publish the App]
Step 3: Embed the Custom Page in Dynamics 365 Model-Driven App
To add the newly created Page in your Model-Driven App, add the Model-Driven app to your solution and click on Edit
For showing it on the Navigation Menu, do select checkbox. But if you want to show it Page as on-demand style/pop-up or JS triggered style then simply add the page to Model-Driven and hide it on Sitemap.
[Note: Once completed, Do save and publish the App]
Final Output
Your Custom Page will be embedded directly to the Model-Driven App.
That’s all for creating Custom Page in Model-Driven App.
