What you'll learn from this Power Apps Workshop:
Agenda:
- Creating The Responsive Screens and Menus: Designing the features you need (inc. Task, Project, Client selection) then ensuring they are set up to adjust for any device. Integrate a navigation component for project management and timesheet review.
- Using Pre-Built Responsive Layouts: Implement responsive layouts efficiently.
- Auto Layout Container Properties: Aligning and sizing elements within your app.
Here's what We will build:
Building a Time Tracking application that functions seamlessly across both desktop and mobile devices is essential in today’s mobile-first world.
In this workshop, you'll learn how to design responsive screens in Power Apps that automatically adapt to various screen sizes, ensuring your app is both visually appealing and highly functional, no matter where it's accessed. This skill is crucial for creating a consistent user experience, allowing your app to be a reliable tool whether users are at their desks or on the go.
1
Time Entry Fields
You'll focus on developing intuitive input fields that allow users to log hours and minutes spent on specific tasks, projects or clients with precision. By integrating start and end buttons for straightforward time management and logging this to SharePoint, the app ensures accurate and efficient time tracking. This feature is indispensable for businesses that rely on precise billing, project management, and productivity analysis.
2
Project/Task Selection
The app’s flexibility is further enhanced through dynamic dropdown menus that allow users to select and create projects and tasks directly within the interface. This workshop will teach you how to integrate these dropdowns with data sources like SharePoint (but know the essentials if you want to expand in the future to Dataverse). You'll ensure the app remains adaptable to changing business needs - vital for improving adoption and making the app a lasting and valuable tool that can evolve.
3
Recorded Time Entries Display
You’ll also design a section of the app that displays all logged time entries in a clear, organized manner. By setting up galleries or data tables in Power Apps, you'll enable users to review, filter, and manage their logged time with ease. This transparency is essential for maintaining accountability, ensuring accurate reporting, and providing a clear work history that can be crucial for audits and project reviews.
4
Mobile Interface (Responsive Design)
Finally, the workshop will guide you in building in the most flexible manner - unlocking a mobile-friendly version as well as desktop. By mastering responsive design tools, you'll learn to implement touch-friendly controls and collapsible menus that make the app just as effective on mobile devices as it is on desktop. This mobile accessibility is critical for today’s workforce, allowing the app to be a versatile, portable solution that users can rely on, no matter where they are.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is ideal for anyone wanting to create apps that actually get used in their businesses from day 1. No more pure theory. You'll build a working, feature rich app that can go with you and your team wherever you access it from.
Whether you're a newcomer to PowerApps or a seasoned developer, this workshop will provide you with the necessary tools and knowledge to design your own time tracker instead of buying expensive subscriptions and 3rd party services like Clockify.
The workshop covers essential topics such as he features and screens you need, planning for responsiveness, choosing the right project type, and utilizing pre-built layouts. By the end of the workshop, you'll have a fully functioning Time Management app to showcase your learning. You'll be confident in your ability to build a PowerApps that is not only functional but also adaptable and you'll have an app that offers a seamless user experience across all platforms.

Thoughts From The Collab365 Team...
At Collab365, we believe that learning should be practical, engaging, and impactful. We want you to experience our B.L.U.E philosophy (Build It, Learn It, Use It, Enhance It) where learning isn't just about knowing the theory, it's about building a genuinely valuable app and learning new skills whilst you create it.
This workshop where you will create a Time Tracking System using Power Apps is a testament to that philosophy. Designed to be content-rich, easy to follow yet giving you a working app at the end, it offers participants the chance to transform their app development process and mindset.
We’ve seen first-hand how mastering the theory by creating an app you use for real can speed up your learning curve immensely. The sole reason is that the time you spend learning has both value to you AND to your business or team. So that motivation to complete is there from the get-go. We hope you'll enjoy unlocking the full potential of PowerApps, all while creating a powerful Time Tracking app that you can use right away.
