Getting Started with Syncfusion PowerApps Schedule Code Component in Model-Driven Application (Custom Pages)

This article provides a step-by-step guide for setting up a PowerApps model-driven application with Custom pages (Canvas) and integrating the Syncfusion PowerApps Schedule code component.

PowerApps Model-Driven is a versatile platform for creating structured applications with a focus on data-centric design. It offers a guided approach, allowing users to build efficient business processes and workflows within a predefined data model.

Prerequisites

Create a new Dataverse table

Syncfusion PowerApps Schedule code component requires data to be loaded from a data source. Follow the steps provided in the Create a new Dataverse table section to create a new table in Dataverse using the CSV in the Schedule sample data folder. Skip this step if you have an existing table with data.

When creating the Dataverse table using CSV file, ensure the column names and data types match those in the table below:

Column Name DataType
Id Whole.none
Subject SingleLine.Text
StartTime Date and Time
EndTime Date and Time
IsAllDay Yes/no
ProjectId Whole.none
TaskId Whole.none

Note

When setting up a Dataverse, make sure that the table columns are assigned the correct data types to prevent data loading issues in the Schedule code component.

Create a PowerApps model-driven application

To create a model-driven application, follow the steps below:

  1. In the PowerApps portal, navigate to the Apps tab located in the left navigation pane and select the Start with a page design option.

  2. Use any layouts and import the Syncfusion PowerApps Schedule code component to the custom page. Configure the data source for the Schedule code component by accessing the list of Dataverse tables. This step ensures that the Schedule code component is seamlessly connected to the relevant data. Also, customize the Schedule code component properties in the property pane.
