Business value
Reduce your client-side workload with Power Fx functions. These functions are reusable pieces of business logic that run server-side and execute a specific set of commands within Microsoft Dataverse.
By streamlining your development process, these functions bring business value through cost-effective and flexible solutions. They democratize the ability to create and manage business logic.
Functions make Power Apps a more powerful and scalable platform for organizations like yours. With minimal resources, you can build tailored, business-critical applications while maintaining control and governance.
Feature details
You can now quickly compose and deploy simple yet powerful Power Fx business logic inside Power Apps (make.powerapps.com) without deep coding expertise. This capability was previously known as low-code instant plugins. By simplifying the creation of business logic, you reduce reliance on pro developers and accelerate your development process. You also boost cost efficiency and reusability while democratizing application development. The updated feature name, functions, replaces plug-ins to better reflect the feature's capabilities. Functions are server-side logic that you can reuse across multiple apps and solutions within Power Apps. They promote consistency and scalability across the organization:
- Reusable components: Standardize logic across multiple applications and reduce duplication of effort.
- Scalable solutions: Build solutions incrementally and easily expand and adapt them as business requirements grow.
Key features:
- Intuitive low-code formula language:
- Familiar: Power Fx is a formula-based language that comes from Excel. It's intuitive and familiar for users who aren't traditional developers.
- Easy to learn: Business users with minimal technical experience can create and manage functions with a minimal learning curve. This ease reduces the time needed for implementation.
- Rich functionality: Functions support a wide range of data manipulation, calculations, and conditional logic. This support lets you use functions in many different scenarios.
- Dynamic updates:
- Easily adjusted: You can easily adjust Power Fx formulas as business needs change. This flexibility gives you the agility to respond to changing market or organizational conditions.
- Reusability across applications:
- Reusable functions: When you create a Power Fx function, you can share it across multiple applications within Power Apps. This sharing practice keeps business logic consistent across teams and departments.
- Efficient scaling: Teams save time when they don't need to recreate the same logic repeatedly across different solutions. This approach reduces redundancies.
