FCPL Shelving Cart App
The Shelving Cart App is an app used by pages and page managers to track carts as they are shelved. Page managers can add new carts and track page progress as they shelve. Pages can check out and return carts as they shelve. It is built using Microsoft Power Apps. For information on how to install Power Apps where you need it, please see:
- Embedding an App on a SharePoint page or Teams channel
- Installing Power Apps on your phone or tablet
For page managers, there is an accompanying Power Bi report, Shelving Cart Report, used to see an overall picture of how their branch and staff are doing. If you are part of branch management, please email LIB IT for questions about the Shelving Cart Report.
