Introduction

To build a mobile app in Dynamics 365, Canvas App is the better option. Canvas App is a no-code/low code business app where you can design the app by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas.

Currently, Natural Language has been gaining popularity among developers. To not get left behind, canvas app has also added support for natural language using Ideas feature. With the help of this feature, we can give queries in natural language and get the results. Using this, users can also get data quickly and easily.

To use ideas in the canvas app, please follow the below steps:

1. Create a new canvas app and then you can see the Ideas panel on the right side.
