Model-driven apps is one of the app types within [[Power Apps]], the other two being canvas apps and portals.
== Main Concepts ==
The main building blocks for model-driven apps are entities, forms, fields, views, dashboards, charts and sitemap. Model-driven apps always has Common Data Service as back-end, i.e. stores its data in the Common Data Service. The data model is decided and created before the actual app is created. When creating an app all you need is a name and then you specify in the [[sitemap]] what menu items should be included (e.g. entities, [[web resources]] or URLs).
The Dynamics apps Dynamics Sales and Dynamics Customer Service are examples of model-driven apps. There is also the possibility to create custom model-driven apps, either containing entities from Dynamics, with custom entities only or with a combination of custom entities and entities from Dynamics.
