Lab 4

In this lab, we are going to build on the blank app we created in Lab 1 by creating a welcome screen for our app. Begin by opening the app in Power Apps Studio.

Activity 1: Building basic branding

The first thing we are going to do is build a basic look and feel for our app by placing some shapes onto the canvas. To begin with, we will create a header.

For this, we will insert a Rectangle, which will act as the header background. Follow these steps to do so:

  1. Open the Groceries Phone App that we created in Lab 1.
  2. Open the Insert menu.
  3. From the Icons menu, select Rectangle:

  4. When the rectangle appears on the canvas, drag it to the top-left corner or change the X and Y properties to 0 within the property pane on the right of the screen:

  5. Use the right handle to drag the width of the rectangle until it is the full width of the canvas:
