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

This article provides a step-by-step guide for setting up a PowerApps model-driven application with Dataverse table form 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.

Add Syncfusion PowerApps Schedule code component to the Dataverse table

To add the Syncfusion PowerApps Schedule code component to the Dataverse table, follow the steps below:

  1. In the Dataverse table, find the Forms tab in the Data experiences pane to streamline data management. Locate the Information form with the main form type to define how users interact with and organize data effectively.

  2. Within the left navigation pane of the Information form, locate the Components tab. Here, click on Get more components at the bottom of the tab.

  4. Create a new section in the form, choosing for a 1-column tab from the popular section. Rename this tab as Schedule View to clearly delineate its purpose. This tab will be utilized to render the Schedule code component.

  5. In the More Components section, choose the SfSchedule component. Connect the Schedule code component to your Dataverse tables to ensure smooth data integration. We can also use the optional ScheduleConfig JSON configuration to configure the Schedule code component. Also, customize other properties as needed.

Then click the Save and publish button at the top right corner of the PowerApps portal. This action commits the changes made to the form, ensuring that the Syncfusion PowerApps Schedule code component is now an integral part of the Dataverse table.
