Resco Inspections on Power Platform

Warning

Work in progress! We are in the process of updating the information on this page. Subject to change.

Traditionally, end users consume questionnaires in Resco mobile apps. Since Release 16.1 (summer 2023), questionnaires can also be used in various components of the Microsoft Power Platform: Power Apps and Power Pages.

As your backend server, use Microsoft Dataverse - with or without extra Dynamics features.

Prerequisites

Here's a high-level overview of steps to prepare your environment:

1. Go to https://make.powerapps.com/.
2. Install the Woodford managed solution. (How?)
3. Use the Questionnaire Designer to create and publish at least one questionnaire.

Preview Inspections on Power Platform are still in preview. In step 2, don't install the production version of the Woodford solution released earlier this year. Instead, see the Preview page for a newer version.

Why Woodford

In this scenario, the Woodford tool is not used. So why is the Woodford solution needed? It includes several other components necessary for inspections:

• Custom tables, e.g., questionnaire
• Questionnaire Designer, the backend tool for designing and managing questionnaire templates
• Several standard views for the questionnaire table, as well as a custom form - the Questionnaire Player web resource. These can be used on the Power Platform.

Power Apps

The Questionnaire table can be easily integrated into your Power Apps with only a few clicks. Treat Questionnaire just like a standard Dataverse table, with the Questionnaire player replacing the standard table form.

Power Pages

Microsoft Power Pages is a platform for creating, hosting, and managing websites. The following example explains how to include the Questionnaire Player on a webpage.
