Power Pages SPA: components Part 1

Go to Power Apps -> Your Env

New Solution

All custom app components (tables, columns, flows, other objects) shall be organized under a common container - called Solution in Power Apps. The components will also have any prefix that we can choose. Also, by creating a new solution, we will be able to use Git source control that is not available with the default solution.

The custom prefix will also allow easier grouping of custom tables and columns when sorted by name.

Create a new solution

Go to Solutions -> click New solution -> type name My Solution -> click New publisher -> type in Display name My Publisher -> type in name MyPublisher -> type in Prefix wb or any other desired prefix so that all you custom created objects under this solution with look like wb_Object -> click Save -> select in the dropdown My Publisher (MyPublisher) -> type in Version 1.0.0.1 -> click Create.

On the Solutions page select My Solution -> click 3 dots (vertical ellipsis) -> select Set preferred solution -> select My Solution (wb) -> click Apply.

It shall look like this:

Custom app

If your app is going to have multiple access groups based on Dataverse Security Roles, you may want to have multiple Content Snippet tables designed for each group. I explain in a Power Pages: Content Snippets with a HACK series a method to create a custom model-driven app to manage such snippets across different tables.
