Microsoft’s Power Platform has revolutionized how businesses build applications. Imagine the power of combining the structure and data management of Model-Driven Apps (MDAs) with the dynamic, user-friendly interfaces of Canvas Apps.

Introducing Custom Pages: This groundbreaking feature lets you seamlessly embed Canvas Apps within your MDAs.

Why This Matters

Unleash User Experience

Create stunning, personalized dashboards, intuitive forms, and engaging experiences with Custom Pages. Custom Pages bring the flexibility of Canvas Apps right into your Model-Driven Apps, allowing for fully tailored interfaces.

Supercharge Automation

Trigger Power Automate Flows directly from your Canvas Apps to streamline workflows, send notifications, and automate tasks. Whether it’s approving a purchase order or sending a customer update, automation becomes a breeze.

Data-Driven Decisions with Power Apps Connectors

Custom Pages unlock the full potential of Power Apps connectors, enabling seamless integration with popular services like SharePoint, Dataverse, Microsoft 365, SQL Server, and Dynamics 365, among many others. This means you can retrieve and display data from multiple systems directly within your app, creating a unified, data-driven experience.

Multiple Data Sources on One Screen

Combine data from various sources into a single view. For example, display customer records from Dataverse, project documents from SharePoint, and sales data from Excel or SQL Server all in one place.

Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) Support

Take your application to the next level with PCF components. These advanced, reusable components can be embedded into your Custom Pages, enabling features like interactive charts, tailored visualizations, and specialized controls that enhance functionality and usability.

Flexible Navigation Options

Custom Pages can be added directly to the Model-Driven App navigation pane, ensuring they are easily accessible for your users. Alternatively, they can be accessed through other methods, such as through a button in the command bar, giving you the flexibility to incorporate them exactly where they’re needed in your MDA.

The Bottom Line

Integrating Custom Pages in your MDA can empower your business with:

  • Higher Adoption: Create user-friendly experiences that boost engagement.
  • Powerful Connectivity: Access and unify data from various sources like SharePoint, Dataverse, SQL Server, and more.
  • Advanced Capabilities: Leverage PCF components for customized, cutting-edge functionality.
  • Flexible Navigation: Embed Custom Pages in the MDA navigation pane or invoke them through buttons, ensuring seamless integration.
