Mobile offline for canvas apps

If users of your Dataverse-based canvas app have spotty or no Internet access, you can easily provide offline-first access with simple switches and a canvas control. Basic offline-first apps are easy to make. Just build your app with normal Power Fx formulas, and Power Apps offline features handle everything else.

  • The offline-first feature works with Dataverse tables only and doesn't support the following Power Fx functions:Min/Max/AvgRelateUnrelateIn (Membership)UpdateIfRemoveIf

  • Filter on column lookup only supports one level of lookup when the app is enabled for offline.

  • Many to many relationships are not supported.

Why use offline for canvas apps instead of LoadData/SaveData?

Prerequisites

  • The canvas app must be in a solution.

  • Explicit column selection must be turned on. To enable the feature, open a canvas app for editing and then go to Settings > Upcoming features > Preview. Set the Explicit column selection toggle to On.

  • You must have the Environment Maker, System Administrator, or System Customizer role to set up offline mode for canvas apps. These roles have create, read, write, delete, and share privileges on Canvas App and Mobile offline profile tables. Learn about predefined security roles.

  • Users with Basic User role can't open an offline application. You must create a custom security role with read privileges on Canvas App and Mobile offline profile tables.

  • If you already have a custom security role, make sure it grants read privileges on Canvas App and Mobile offline profile tables. Learn about miscellaneous privileges.
