Create a Simple Business Request Form In Microsoft Power Apps
Webinar presented: August 30, 2022
Presenter: Aleshia Jefferson

The recording* discusses the pre-template, some salient points about SharePoint, and building the MS Power Apps form.
Below is a copy of the presentation with handy tips and resources along with an example of a pre-template and some formulas that can be used with MS Power Apps:
