Please resolve this assessment quiz question (below). I can NOT get Navigate(Accounts) to open in a canvas app in any fashion.

    Hello @Douglas N. Gray ,

    Thanks for your question.

    The assessment question has a flaw. It explicitly states you are building a "Canvas app," but the answer it marks as correct actually belongs to a completely different type of application called a "Model-driven app."

    • In a Canvas app: The Navigate() function strictly requires you to provide the name of a Screen (for example, Navigate(Screen1) or Navigate(BrowseScreen)). You cannot navigate directly to a raw data table like Accounts because a Canvas app does not automatically know what visual layout or screen to use to display that data to the user.
    • In a Model-driven app: Microsoft automatically generates the screens and data views for you. When you are customizing the command buttons at the top of a Model-driven app, using Navigate(Accounts) is the correct formula to open the default view of the Accounts table.

    I hope this addresses your question. If this response was helpful, please consider following the guidance to provide feedback.
