The process of incorporating new data fields into a Power Apps data source or control is a fundamental aspect of application design. For example, within a data table, it allows for the representation of additional attributes or metrics related to the displayed items. This action expands the information available to the end-user within the application’s interface.
The capacity to augment data structures is critical for evolving application functionality and adapting to changing business requirements. This enables increased data granularity and analytical capabilities, enhancing the overall utility of the application for informed decision-making. Historically, this capability has transitioned from complex coding approaches to more user-friendly, low-code interfaces.
