Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM / Power Apps keep rolling out exciting updates every release and it becomes challenging to keep track of all the features. As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Inogic have been providing tips and tricks on these updates and their features like Power Automate, PCF, Dataverse, Power Apps, Power Platform, etc. on our Inogic Blog. Last time we had created a guide on ‘How to use Custom APIs’ which was a hit. Hence, we are out with yet another post and this time on your favorite Power Component Frameworks.

With the introduction of Power Apps component framework, Microsoft has enhanced the user experience for users working with data on forms, views, and dashboards.
