Bugs can have great variance because features, user interfaces, and tables are specific to an app and organization, making the cause of bugs different for everyone. For example, **invoice** isn't a built-in table in Power Apps. There isn't a specialized feature in canvas apps for filtering records by a certain user, therefore the app maker must write Power Fx expressions or configure data connectors. Similarly, the maker must configure **Views** in model-driven apps to display desired records.
