- Because the data is stored in Common Data Service, you don't need to create a connection from Power Apps as you do with data sources such as SharePoint, customer engagement apps (such as Dynamics 365 Sales and Dynamics 365 Customer Service), or Salesforce. You need only to specify the entities that you want to show or manage in the portal.

It might take several minutes to create the database on Common Data Service. Once the database is created, the new environment is selected in the list of environments on the Power Apps home page and the Portal Management app is created. This app is not the actual portal but a model-driven companion app that allows you to perform advance configuration activities. You can now proceed with creating the portal for designing the external-facing website.
