Functional Roles for List and Detail Views in PowerAppss

In Part 5 you review the most effective and performant way to display data to users and also offer them a way to edit that data as required.

The initial list of records, or items, is read-only and formatted for presentation. To modify one of those items, a good interface also provides a detail screen in which all data points are open for edits. Compare this interface in a browser-based app to those you've created in Access.

List views are read-only for quicker display. Detail views are editable.
