Session Abstract

Unlock the Power of Offline Functionality with Power Apps Join us for an exciting session where we bypass into the offline capabilities of Power Apps Canvas Apps. Discover how the new offline profile feature limits the usable data with selected filters when using mobile device. Imagine that there are data from 10 years and offline profile gets only past 3 months data. What if user wants to see data from 9 years ago. With mobile app the offline profile gives user only the offline profile data from past 3 months. This session offers two different solutions to go around this feature, ensuring seamless access with or without an internet connection. Key Highlights: • Offline Profile: Learn how to configure and utilize offline profiles to store essential data locally on your device. • Dual Mode Apps: Explore the creation of two Canvas Apps—one for offline and one for online use—enabling users to switch between modes effortlessly. • Optimized Data Access: Understand strategies to manage and access historical data beyond the default offline profile limits. • Direct retrieval of Online Data: Witness another way of getting data from online into an offline Canvas App solution with Power Automate. • Practical Demonstration: Watch a live demo on setting up and toggling between offline and online modes This session is demonstrating creation of these two approaches and explaining the technology behind selected choices. Session is quite technical but the general sections will be understandable for citizen developers as well.
