External YouTube Channel
In this 12-minute citizen developer-focused demo, Lindsay Shelton walks viewers through the process of moving an on-prem Access database solution to cloud. The solution must be secure, accessible from mobile and have multiple approval levels.
The flow shown utilizes a SharePoint document library and Approvals to request a file review, approve or reject the file, and update the SharePoint library. Power Automate Flow addresses “File is Locked” error handling. Finally, see what a Doc Library looks like as Power App! This PnP Community demo is taken from the Microsoft Power Platform community call – July 2022, recorded on July 20, 2022.
