Abstract
Power Apps is a powerful forms tool in Microsoft 365. It is not a direct replacement of InfoPath (which I covered in the previous edition of this book but is now largely obsolete) as it does things differently (and often better). I particularly like that Power Apps can be created completely in the browser, are optimized for mobile devices, can connect to a multitude of data sources, and have a familiar Visual Basic-like syntax.

We will dig deep into Power BI in later chapters. Another use of Power BI would be to have a “New Tickets” report that could be sorted by date and time. Technicians could use to determine who has been waiting longest and call that person next. We hope to build this into the Power Apps technician application as well.
