In this lab, we will build upon the entities that we created in Chapter 15, Introducing Model-Driven Apps, and use those entities to begin building a model-driven app. In this lab, we will create Views of the data and use those Views within a model-driven app. By creating the entity, PowerApps has already created a number of Forms for us to use.

In this section, we will practice creating Views on the data that we have stored within our entity:
- Open the PowerApps portal by navigating to make.powerapps.com.
- Expand Data on the left-hand menu.
