Technical Details

This app package package includes a PowerApp for end users to view and complete the questionnaires, an administration PowerApp which allows admin team members to manage, update and deploy new and current surveys and an installation wizard PowerApp to install the necessary SharePoint Site Collections, Lists and Columns. A further PowerApp is then used to populate the questions.

All content is stored in a SharePoint site collection, which will be created via the Installaion wizard PowerApp. Additionally a series of Power Automate workflows are used to manage user entries, approvals and reminders.

For ease of use on a mobile, one question is presented per screen. Users complete the question and then click next to jump to the next question.

The PowerApp will work across the following platforms and devices.
• Any internet browser (online only).
• Android devices via the Microsoft PowerApp app available on the Google Play Store.
• Apple devices via the Microsoft PowerApp app available on the iTunes store.
• Windows PC’s via the PowerApps app available in the Microsoft Store.


A major benefit of adopting a SharePoint / PowerApps / Power Automate approach will be the surety of utilising Microsoft’s Power Platform as the basis of the system. Microsoft has invested heavily in the Power Platform, with a clear roadmap for the technology.
