In Power Apps, you would typically go to the "Apps" section to create a new app. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open Power Apps in your web browser.
  2. On the left-side navigation menu, click on "Apps".
  3. Look for an option to create a new app, which is usually located at the top or in a prominent position within the "Apps" section.
  4. Click on the "Create" or "New app" button to start building your new app.

If you need more specific instructions based on your account type or access level, please provide additional details, and I'll be happy to assist further.

im at create new app in power apps i want to create a time sheet app that i can email or send to outside people. add name, add date, add reguluar hrs worked, add regular overtime, add how many on call's did you recieve, add did you go to plant "yes or no", add did you troubleshoot over phone, add how much time was on-call on site, add how much time was spent troubleshooting on phone, add did you resolve issue,

To create a comprehensive time sheet app in Power Apps that can be shared with outside individuals, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a New Canvas App:

    • Click on "Create" > "Canvas app from blank" in the Power Apps web portal.
    • Choose the layout that best fits your needs, like Tablet or Phone.

  2. Design the App Interface:

    • Once in the app, you will be in the Canvas designing area. Here you can add and arrange the fields and elements for your time sheet app.

  3. Add Data Sources:

    • You'll need to add a data source to store the information you're collecting. If you're using Office 365, you can add an Outlook connection to send emails. You can also consider using SharePoint to store and share the data.

  4. Add Data Fields:

    • For each piece of information you want to capture, like name, date, regular hours worked, regular overtime, on-call details, plant visit, troubleshooting details, issue resolution, you'll need to add corresponding data fields to your data source.

  5. Design User Input Forms:

    • For each type of information, design a screen or form in the app where users can input the necessary details.

  6. Set up Email Functionality:

    • To enable emailing the time sheet, you can use the "Office365.SendEmail" function in Power Apps. You'll likely need to set up a button in your app that triggers the sending of the time sheet via email.

  7. Share the App:

    • Once your app is complete, you can share it with external users by adding them as guests in your Office 365 environment and granting them access to the app.

Remember to save your progress periodically as build the app. If you need specific guidance on any of these steps, feel free to ask for further!
