Power Apps portals were specifically built to enable teams to quickly and easily develop self-service portals using Power Platform and Dataverse. Effortlessly using predefined templates that are easily extensible is the name of the game with Power Apps portals and a game changer when it comes to quickly creating self-service portals.
This blog will show you 6 Microsoft Dynamics 365 Power Apps Portals that you can quickly and easily develop.
Six Microsoft Power Apps Portal Templates
Like most Dynamics 365 (D365) applications, the Power Apps portal has numerous templates that allow you to quickly set up a portal based on the scenario you are trying to solve for. Some of the most popular templates include:
- Community Portal - a great way to share blogs, forums, and polls if you want to create a community with internal or external stakeholders.
- Customer Self-Service - this portal is all about enabling case management. The purpose of this feature is to allow customers to create their own cases using the portal instead of having to call in. These cases tie right into Dynamics 365 Customer Service enabling seamless communication between your agents and stakeholders.
- Partner Portal - the partner portal manages leads and opportunities if you want to manage the pipeline of the vendors and customers you work with. There are even additional components you can enable if you leverage Dynamics 365 Field Service or Project Operations to expose Projects and Work Orders on the portal.
- Employee Self-Service - this portal empowers your internal staff to leverage knowledge articles to find solutions to a particular question or issue. Likewise, this template can be customized to streamline a particular business process, like submitting expense reports to cut down on time and ensure proper submission of information.
- Customer Portal - allows companies to create an externally facing website that is connected to a D365 Supply Chain Management environment for B2B sales-order processing and related scenarios.
- Blank Portal - create your own portal from scratch, the Power Apps portal blank option allows you to do this quickly and easily.
