This is the first practice project for the Taitotalo Low-Code System Developer course. In this project, I implemented a reservation system for an imaginary water sports equipment rental company for internal use. I used the Microsoft Power Platform for this project.
The user interface was implemented using Microsoft Power Apps, which used Sharepoint tables as data sources. The user interface had five views: home page, list of rental equipment, customer register page, reservation page, and reservation calendar. There were three Sharepoint tables: One for the database of rental equipment, one for the customer register, and one that acted as a database where reservations were stored.
The bookable vehicle and customer were selected from the register for the reservation. The delivery and return dates and the price of the device per hour were also saved in the reservation. A record of the reservation was made in the Sharepoint table, which triggered a Power Automate automation that sent an automated email and created an Outlook calendar entry for the reservation.
This exercise gave me a good background on what can be done with the Microsoft Power Platform. The project work was done as a teamwork during the Taitotalo training, where we followed the Scrum project management framework, which gave valuable experience in group work.
