A Form in Power Apps is a control used to display, create, or edit records from a connected data source like SharePoint, Dataverse, or SQL Server. Forms automatically generate fields based on the selected data source and help users interact with structured data easily.
Types of Forms in Power Apps
1. Display Form (Read-Only)
A Display Form is used when users only need to view information. It prevents editing and is commonly used in approval screens, profile pages, or summary views where data should not be modified.
Example of a Display Form showing employee record details in read-only mode.
2. Edit Form (Create or Update)
An Edit Form allows users to add new records or update existing ones. It includes input controls like text boxes, dropdowns, and date pickers, and works with functions like SubmitForm() to save changes to the data source.
Example of an Edit Form used to create or update employee details.
