Published in App Development 2 mins read

You can add a new screen to your Canvas app by following these simple steps:

  1. Open your Canvas app in Power Apps Studio.
  2. Navigate to the 'Screens' tab on the left-hand side of the studio.
  3. Click the 'New screen' button at the top of the screen list.
  4. Choose the type of screen you want to add:
    • Blank: A blank screen with no pre-defined elements.
    • Phone: A screen optimized for phones.
    • Tablet: A screen optimized for tablets.
    • Form: A screen with built-in form elements.
    • Gallery: A screen with a gallery control.
  5. Name your new screen in the 'Screen name' field.
  6. Customize your screen by adding controls, setting properties, and writing formulas.

Example:

Let's say you want to create a new screen for displaying a list of customers.

  1. You would choose the 'Gallery' screen type.
  2. Name the screen 'CustomerList'.
  3. Add a gallery control to the screen and configure it to display your customer data.

Practical Insights:

  • Use different screen types for different purposes. For example, use a 'Form' screen for data entry and a 'Gallery' screen for displaying lists.
  • Create multiple screens for different parts of your app. This will improve the user experience and make your app easier to navigate.
  • Use transitions to move between screens. This will create a smoother and more intuitive experience for users.
