Understanding your data source and its potential impact on app functionality is key when creating apps. In this module, we explored the concept of delegation in Power Apps —- what it is, the factors influencing its availability, and ways to tweak delegation limits. Here are the key takeaways:

  • Delegation boosts performance by minimizing data exchanges between Power Apps and the data source, allowing calculations to occur in the backend data vs. Power Apps.

  • The ability to delegate varies based on the function, predicate, and data source used.

  • When delegation isn't possible, Power Apps alerts the app creator within the Power Apps Studio but doesn't notify the app user.

  • By default, a nondelegable query returns 500 records, but this can be increased to a maximum of 2,000 for more extensive data retrieval.

In the upcoming module, you dive into expanding your access to various data sources by constructing custom connectors.
