"Just make it an app!"
Power Apps is Microsoft's low-/no-code solution to modern business app-making. Using Power Apps, UW Office 365 users can take advantage of an intuitive click-and-drag interface to build browser-based apps that connect to your cloud-hosted data, help automate tasks, and streamline your work - all without having to be an expert programmer!
All UW Office 365 users can take advantage of Power Apps to make custom apps for themselves and connect to data in SharePoint and OneDrive, but you can also go the extra mile with separate Power Apps licenses to publish apps that your co-workers can use, as well get access to Premium Connectors that integrate with a wide variety of data sources and services.
Microsoft has a plethora of resources to help you get into Power Apps and create your first app. Check out the following links to build up your base knowledge, then check out UW's own Help & How-to articles (above) learn the tips and tricks for making Power Apps tailored to our work at UW.
Anyone at UW who has a full and active UW Office 365 license gets access to basic Power Apps features, like creating and running custom apps for themselves and connecting to data using 'Standard' connectors. Additional features, like using apps published by others or connecting to data using 'Premium' connectors, may require additional costs/licenses.
