Create an App for Recurring Tasks 1

Dataverse Solution and Tables

Microsoft Dataverse iconIn the previous demos, Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, showed some settings and features that are useful for Power Apps solutions.

Now, Peter will create a simple Dataverse solution for recurring tasks. It has two tables, Templates and Daily Tasks.

The Templates table has information about all tasks that are to be performed on a recurring basis. The Daily Tasks table has the actual instances of the tasks that are to be performed.

Each morning, a Power Automate flow loops through the Templates table and creates instances of the tasks for the current date in the Daily Tasks table.

Finally, Peter will show how to create two apps built on the Daily Tasks table: a model-driven app and a canvas app.

In the demo below, Peter creates the solution and the two Dataverse tables.

Steps

  1. Create a Recurring Tasks solution.
  2. Create a Templates table.
  3. Deselect all the built-in columns and show only the Name column.
  4. Create two new columns, Description and Frequency, and make them visible.
  5. Add a task to the table.
  6. Add a single line of text Next column to the table (to be used in the flow).
  7. Create a Daily Tasks table.
  8. Deselect all the built-in columns and show only the Name column.
  9. Create a new Description column and make it visible.



The the next demo, Peter will create the flow that updates the Daily Tasks table.
