How to customize a Power Apps gallery using different layouts?
Let’s take a simple example: I have a SharePoint Online list named “Employee Onboarding” and this list contains the below fields.
Column Name | Data Type |
Employee ID | Default single line of text |
Employee Name | A single line of text |
Gender | Choice |
A single line of text | |
Employee Department | Lookup |

Now, I want to display this SharePoint list records on the Power Apps gallery using the layout [Image, title, subtitle, and body] as in the screenshot below.

To achieve it, follow the below steps. Such as:
1. Open Power Apps -> Create a Blank Canvas app and connect it to the respective SharePoint list like below.

2. Whenever the user wants to insert a Gallery control, Power Apps will give the following six gallery options under the Layout dropdown. Such as:
- Vertical gallery
- Horizontal gallery
- Flexible hight gallery
- Blank vertical gallery
- Blank horizontal gallery
- Blank flexible hight gallery

3. But, as per our requirement, we can select “Vertical gallery”. Once we select a vertical gallery, it will appear with the List layout [“Image, title, and subtitle”]. Here, we can also change layout options as per our needs.

4. Now, select the “Image, title, subtitle, and body layout” option from the List layout and set its Items property as:
Items = 'Employee Onboarding'
Where,
- ‘Employee Onboarding’ = SharePoint Online List

5. Once your app is ready, Save, Publish, and Preview the app. The Power Apps gallery will display each record from a SharePoint Online list based on the respective gallery layout, as in the screenshot below.

This is how to customize a Power Apps gallery using different layouts.
Customize a Power Apps Gallery Blank Layout
Now, we will see how to customize a Power Apps gallery blank layout. Suppose I want to design the gallery without using any layout template to display the SharePoint list records, as in the screenshot below.

To do so, follow the below steps.
1. On the Power Apps Screen -> Insert a Gallery control (you can take any gallery control) and then make the Layout options “Blank“. Once you choose the Blank layout, then the gallery will appear as shown below.

2. Then, set the Items property of a Power Apps gallery control as:
Items = 'Employee Onboarding'

3. Next, Select the first section of the gallery control, insert a Text label, and set its Text property as:
Text = ThisItem.Title
Where,
- Title: It is the SharePoint field name that I want to display in the label control
4. Similarly, You can take any SharePoint list field inside the gallery using text inputs as shown below.
Text = ThisItem.'Employee Name'
Text = ThisItem.Email
Text = ThisItem.Gender.Value
Text = ThisItem.'Employee Department'.Value
5. Similarly, you can take any PowerApps Control and show the SharePoint field value in the gallery as per your need.

6. Save, Publish, and Preview the app. The gallery will display each record from a SharePoint list with a blank layout option, as in the screenshot below.

This is how to customize a Power Apps gallery blank layout.
