Citizen Developers

You can create professional, brand-aligned solutions using low-code tools whilst maintaining the consistency and quality that EDS provides. Our Power Platform integration works seamlessly with the Microsoft 365 tools you already use daily.

Getting Started

We've made it straightforward to begin building with EDS. You can be up and running in just a few minutes by following these steps:

1. Access Power Apps through your Microsoft 365 account
2. Download EDS templates from the Power Platform library
3. Import templates into your development environment
4. Start building using pre-configured components and layouts

Available Tools

Power Apps

We provide comprehensive templates for canvas apps that include pre-configured components, layouts, and styling aligned with Equinor's design standards. Our dedicated component library is available in development environments, featuring EDS-compliant elements that ensure consistency whilst reducing development time. Each template includes built-in documentation covering proper usage, customisation options, and best practices.

Power BI

We offer light-themed templates covering common business scenarios, with pre-configured charts, layouts, and styling that align with EDS principles. These templates ensure your dashboards maintain consistent visual presentation across all your business intelligence solutions.

We're continuously expanding this collection with more examples and scenarios to support your diverse reporting needs.

Best Practices

• Use provided templates as your foundation rather than starting from scratch
• Follow EDS colour and typography guidelines when customising elements
• Test your solutions across different devices to ensure responsive behaviour
• Ensure proper colour contrast in all custom elements
• Include alternative text for images and visual components
• Test keyboard navigation functionality
