A Low-code App to help Wizards with their mental health, after so many attacks and traumatic experiences, there is no doubt many of them need to keep check on their working hours and mental well-being.
First they must register when the enter or leave Hogwartz.
Then a report will be create for each of them:
Then a score will be provided:
In case they receive a bad score they will be prompted to take a mental health quiz:
Imagine you have created an Canvas App to avoid Burnout among your colleagues. You could tell your coworkers to download another app to their phones and complete tasks there to be able to provide a result based on their entries that will suggest future actions to manage their stress and workload. Wouldn’t this add more work to your already tired and stressed colleagues? Why don´t meet them where they work.
Some manage all of their workload directly from teams: their communication, SharePoint files, calendar and more. This would be a good case to add your app to Teams for those users that avoid using a browser or desktop apps as much as possible.
Others love SharePoint and work directly from the browser, they love it some much they haven´t even synced their folders to their PC. Again, why not meet them where they are instead of having to download an app? How can you as a developer make it easy for your users to access an app that is out of the scope of their work? Make it easy.
In case your users as using the app on SharePoint, maybe you would only want that some users have access to it. In that case, it´s possible to create a button that only a specific group can see. Then it is possible to target audiences so only specific users can see it.
It is important to “prioritize accessibility, privacy, and an exceptional user experience”, so make sure your app will work on all platforms. It is not only necessary to make it responsive in mobile, table or web; it is also important to make sure it will be accessible on SharePoint and Teams.
When the app is shared in Teams, privacy is easier to manage if shared in a Team or even a Private channel. Extra filtering can be added directly in the app to ensure privacy.
In conclusion, accessibility, privacy, and an exceptional user experience is achievable with a Canvas App thanks to the connectivity made available by Microsoft. A good rule of thumb would be to make these three criteria a critical consideration when developing apps.
Like a shapeshifter, Low Code apps need to adapt to any device. This app can do so with container and adding or removing flexible height when needed. Now with these potions we can look good on any device.

Now we will create a Flow which only input is the user´s Full Name and it will return a score for each user based on a filtered table for the user. This score will classify each user as a “Ron”, a “Hagrid” or a “Snape” depending on their working hours.
A Ron is usually someone that doesn´t do much in their team and could try to participate more every now and then.
After heavy snow and delayed trains I have finally arrived to the challenge. First time participant and working solo, I might be out of my depth but surely something good will come out of this. My challenge will be to find all those wizards that are in need of healing after a long night out on the city or if they have been overworking. Hopefully a Ossio Dispersimus won’t be necessary but only a potion will be needed to bring them back.
On a Power Apps Canvas a wizard can enter how many hours they have been working on their potions and spells. Without using premium licenses, all information will be stored in SharePoint lists. Each user will log in and have three options: 1) create an entry 2) complete an entry 3) and get a status report based on the entries created.
Depending on the user´s health score, a potion or spell will be recommended.
