I still remember the first time a client asked me to add “just one button” to their leave request app. That one button turned into approve, reject, save as draft, and a resubmit action — all on the same screen. That’s when I really learned how much power a simple Button control carries in Power … Read more >>>
I recently built an IT helpdesk tracker for a client, and the first version had one screen. A plain Power Apps Gallery showing every open ticket. It worked fine until the list crossed 300 rows. The support team started scrolling forever to find their own tickets. The fix wasn’t a new screen or a fancy … Read more >>>
An HR coordinator opens an employee directory to find everyone who joined during a particular week. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of records, they choose a start date and an end date, and the employee gallery updates immediately. I have built this pattern in many Canvas apps, including HR onboarding apps, leave management trackers, approval … Read more >>>
A blank dropdown selection looks harmless until it creates a bad record in a business app. I have seen this happen in HR apps where a coordinator filters employees by department, leaves the filter empty, and suddenly assumes the gallery has no records. In a recent Canvas app for a 200-employee company, the HR team … Read more >>>
An HR team I worked with needed a simple leave request app for 200 employees. Employees had to choose one or more leave types—Annual Leave, Sick Leave, Work From Home, or Compensatory Off—without scrolling through a long form or typing inconsistent values. A Power Apps Listbox worked well for that screen. It gave users a … Read more >>>
An HR coordinator opens a leave request form and needs to assign an employee’s manager as the approver. Typing an email address into a text box works at first, but it quickly creates problems. Someone enters the wrong address, another person uses an old name, and the approval workflow goes to the wrong person. I … Read more >>>
Imagine your HR team in a 200-employee company using a simple Power Apps Canvas app to manage leave requests stored in a SharePoint list. The app works, but very quickly people start asking for more: “Can I see only my pending requests?”, “Can I filter by department?”, “Can managers quickly see just ‘Approved’ leaves?” Without … Read more >>>
I often see this issue in service desk and inventory apps. A Power Apps Dropdown connected to a SharePoint list shows “IT,” “HR,” and “Finance” several times because multiple records use the same department value. That makes a simple filter look unpolished and forces users to scroll through repeated options. The good news is that … Read more >>>
When I build an HR Leave Request app for a small company, the first complaint is always the same: “Why are employees still typing department, leave type, and manager name manually?” Misspellings, inconsistent values, and messy reports soon follow. The fix is simple but powerful — move those fields to Power Apps Dropdown controls bound … Read more >>>
Your Power Automate flow is ready: it creates a SharePoint list item, sends an approval, maybe even posts to Teams. Everything works in testing, until you realize one thing: you don’t reliably have the user’s email address. Sometimes you need the person who triggered the flow, sometimes the creator of a list item, sometimes the … Read more >>>
