Power Pages: Employee self-service.
I've been diving into Power Platform lately, kind of flirting with it, and I absolutely adore Power Pages. In this post, I'll share how to deploy a Power Page, and customize it as a self-service portal for employees making it look pretty and functional.
Please know that you can use the Dynamics 365 templates if you have any of these instances:
Dynamics 365 Sales
Dynamics 365 Customer Service
Dynamics 365 Field Service
Dynamics 365 Marketing
Dynamics 365 Project Operations
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
In this case, even when we already have a template, I'm going to use another template for self-service purposes. The reason why I'm doing this is that I want to build custom pages instead of using the default ones for ESS Dynamics 365 templates.
Customers' wishlist and proposition
Scenario
Our customer is looking for a simple self-service platform for employees from across the globe to use. The solution must provide:
Employee profile: personal data and ability to edit or add new information.
Company values: mission and vision as well as company values.
Learning: link to LMS.
Job openings: a job board for internal openings.
Proposed functional solution
A web that provides basic functionality that will allow people to access basic company information bringing together a remote worldwide culture.
Proposed technical solution
We will deploy a Power Page template and customize it based on the customers' needs. We suggest the customer use this platform because it is scalable and they could potentially manage the backend by themselves in the future.
