Adding screens

A screen in Power Apps is an element that contains a set of controls. Power Apps lets you add as many screens as you like. It also supports navigation between screens based on the user's action. For instance, you could have a screen displaying a list of records, but when the user clicks on an item from within the list, it takes you to the details screen.
