Dataverse Bootcamp for M365 Makers

Wes Preston

Founder and independent consultant working with platform alignment and no-code solutions with M365 and Power Apps

Dataverse, Dataverse, Dataverse… You've heard about it but haven't checked it out yet. Now's the time to see how to scale solutions up from Lists. In this hands-on workshop we'll start with a Power App built with List data and build a similar solution using Dataverse as the data source - talking through the pros and cons comparison along the way.

Adding Dataverse is an investment in time, skills, and licensing. Know when to engage and what to expect.

• Learn what Dataverse is, where it fits in the maker toolset, and how Copilot adds to the experience.
• Cover what the differences are between Dataverse, Microsoft Lists, and other data sources and talk through some of the 'what to use when' considerations as Lists solution builders integrate with and shift to Power Platform tools.
• Get a perspective on the maker skills needed when using Dataverse and how to get started in your organization.

Using the Developer Plan, attendees will get a hands-on look at Creating Dataverse tables, relationships, forms, and more. With Dataverse as a data source, we'll also do a quick compare of model-driven vs. canvas Power Apps.
