How to Create a Canvas App from SharePoint List

We will use SharePoint as a data source, so we will start by creating a list.

Step 1- Go to the SharePoint Home screen, click on +New and select the List.

Step 2 - Fill in the list name and description and, leave the Description field blank. This action will create a list with a default structure.

Step 3 - Click on the setting and select List settings to add and update the columns. This option will open all the configuration options available for a list, but we will be focusing on the Columns section.

Step 4- Add a list name i.e. "Clients" create a column and then set the column name.

Column Name	Data Type	Required
Name	Single line of text	Yes
Address	Multiple line of text	No
Phone	Single line of text	No
Email	Single line of text	No

Step 5 - Create another SharePoint list with the name Incidents.

Column Name	Data Type	Required
Customer Name	Lookup	Yes
Date	Date and time	Yes
Priority	Choice	Yes
Comments	Multiple line of text	No

Step 6 - For the customer’s name field, select the Lookup type, and then, in the Get information from dropdown, select the Clients list we created before.

Step 7 - For the Priority column, select the Choice type and replace the list of choices with High, Medium, and Low. Set the Default value as Low.

Step 8 - For the Comments column, specify the type of text to be Plain text to prevent formatting issues later when designing an app.

Step 9 - We are done with SharePoint list creation and now it’s time to add the data to the client list.

Step 10 - Add the date to the incident list.

Step 11 - On the list's toolbar, select Power Apps and then Create an app. This action will open up a dialog asking you the name of your application:
