They allow you to design pixel perfect screens for users to interact with data from hundreds of data sources including Excel, Microsoft Dataverse, Oracle, Sales Force, SQL Server and more. Build gallery, button and form controls on your canvas app screens and create simple Excel-like formulas to define how they respond to user input.
