Build a web form process to allow for complex and decision-based data entry processes.
Trigger classic Dataverse workflows from the portal.
Combine the various Dataverse portal components to build powerful web applications.

Module 4: Liquid is an [open-source template language](http://dotliquidmarkup.org/?azure-portal=true) that is integrated natively into Microsoft Power Apps portals. It acts as a bridge between Microsoft Dataverse and the HTML or text output that is sent to the browser.

Module 6: A portal maker should consider specific details when designing and building portals. Implementing a portal solution requires knowledge of the specific business requirements and needs of the customer. Along with being simplistic and well-designed, a successful portal should provide functionality in consideration of geographical location, language, and accessibility needs. Additionally, portal makers should ensure that portal metadata is backed up to source control and deployed to test and production environments in a consistent and structured way.

In this module, you will:
