As soon as you install SIL and the Power Scripts app, the "Power Plugins Configuration” will appear on the left of your "Manage apps” menu. The Power Plugins Configuration contains the following main sections:

  • SIL Manager

  • Script Templates

  • Power Apps Configuration

  • Power Suite

In the following section, we’ll show you what every item in this configuration menu refers to.

SIL Manager:

The SIL® Manager is the tool used to write scripts and it’s the central repository for all of your scripts.
