Development of an absence management application using Microsoft Power Platform

The main goal of this thesis is the development of an internal application for managing employee absence requests, built using the Microsoft Power Platform low-code toolset. The work was carried out in the context of a specific company specialising in the implementation of ERP systems on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations platform, which decided to leverage its existing Power Platform licences to replace the existing absence submission process through the D365 web portal — a solution that proved particularly inadequate when accessed from mobile devices. The thesis introduces the key Microsoft Power Platform tools relevant to the project, with emphasis on Power Apps and the Power Fx language. The practical part describes the analysis of the functional design document, the implementation of the Canvas application. The output of the work is a functional and deployed Canvas application. The conclusion evaluates the practical benefits and limitations of the chosen low-code approach.
