Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals - 1 day
7 HoursThis course provides a foundational understanding of the core components of Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate, and Power Apps, alongside a high-level introduction to Power BI. The curriculum is grounded in a real-world process I previously handled manually for a former employer. We will construct a Power App using Microsoft Power Apps to monitor tasks associated with residential construction projects, storing the data in SharePoint for ease of access. Subsequently, we will employ Power Virtual Agents to demonstrate how users can enable bots within Microsoft Teams. These bots will guide users to locate documents that may be dispersed across various SharePoint sites, such as loan agreements, budgets, and sales contracts. I perceive significant potential for these bots within HR and IT departments, particularly for managing repetitive inquiries. Furthermore, the course illustrates how to configure straightforward flows in Power Automate to archive attachments from specific senders (in this scenario, inspection reports organised by the bank for the units). We will also explore other simple flows that capture data from Microsoft Forms back into SharePoint and establish fully automated processes using the approvals feature within Microsoft Teams. Upon completion of the app, bot, and flow, the final phase involves creating a concise Power BI report. We will leverage Power Automate to dispatch a snapshot of the table containing the most recently completed tasks every two weeks to a designated recipient (the bank in this example). This report will request a disbursement, including the dates the tasks were completed and their corresponding budget amounts (all data collected via the app). Finally, given that this course is quite high-level, I recommend all learners use ChatGPT for more technical aspects, such as coding elements or formulas in Power Apps. However, this is addressed within the course, where I demonstrate how to harness ChatGPT effectively to assist with Power Apps formulas.
