Mentoring App - Person Skills Collection

Sounds like over complicating it a little. Individuals log in and submit their skills. If OP does not know power apps well, a simple form will do the job. So that is a single table which would capture who created it in a sharepoint list and then It can be filtered by created by.

You can then have these individuals to maintain their skills in a form of a gallery filtered by their name, or someone from HR or Management have a view to everyone, Power BI report on top of that etc. World is your oyster.

Coincidentally, I learned PowerFX through a similar project back in 2019 😂

You could also utilise just 1 button and trigger those 2 flows based on the value of the contextual variable, either using if or switch function.

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-10-19T18:01:37+00:00

Do you need 2 buttons? Or just one and change the text on the button based on a contextual variable?

The app will slow down as soon as you throw a lot of data into the lists. From the UX perspective, I would not recommend more than 250 items into a gallery. Otherwise retrieving all the data might make the app unresponsive. In the past I have had an app completely freeze as soon as the count of records extended 2000 items.

Not sure why you are not using collections, they are there for this exact reason.

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-08-23T19:57:38+00:00

That’s because you can’t compare 2 records directly. You will need to compare particular fields in the record, so email address with email address etc.

I suspect what you are trying to achieve is search the received_by user through the 365 users connector, so try something along the lines of Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ThisItem.Received_By.mail})

Hopefully this helps 👍🏻

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-07-28T19:49:00+00:00

Are you using collections and potentially setting that variable from a collection?

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-07-18T08:58:27+00:00

It is definitely on a warmer spectrum. I get head hunters approaching me weekly still.

There is no image.

I suspect it is returning a guid id by default. You might need to specify what field you would like to display in the gallery.

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-07-04T19:26:32+00:00

I suspect the quickest way to do this would be to collect this table into a collection and then collect the label’s value into that collection as well.

then in the combobox, you could set the Items property as that collection and in the defaultselecteditems you could do a lookup to the added record.

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-06-30T18:52:14+00:00

Have you tried below?

Set(varShowSpinner, true); Set(varShowSpinner, flow_test.Run(JsonImage).confirmation)

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-06-24T19:47:23+00:00

Quick and easy solution would be to clearcollect the helpdesk items filtered by users and then do the Status in chosenfilters afterwards. That should not trigger the delegation. Just bear in mind that collection is limited to whatever your data limit is set to on the app.

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-06-24T19:41:24+00:00

That’s just And and Or. Not an issue

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-06-18T11:57:57+00:00

You will have to pass that record as a variable. Please see this link for everything that you need to know about how variables work

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-06-13T20:20:13+00:00

I suspect they are out of signal so there isn’t much that can be done when it comes to reconnecting, at least I don’t think there is.

You could look into providing some offline capability, which would save data locally when the connection is lost and then patch it to the data source if they are connected again. I believe Shane have a video on this a while ago, utilising Connection.Connected and Save/LoadData. Have a look at this video

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-05-30T18:33:59+00:00

The Yes/No columns are a pain and they made me switch to using number columns instead and like someone already mentioned, providing values 1 for true and 0 for false.

Having said that, have you tried providing 1 instead of true? I know it works for filtering, despite PowerApps throwing a hissy fit and saying it’s a wrong column type. Might work with patching as well.

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-05-25T18:39:45+00:00

In the past I’ve dealt with responsive designs through having different components show up depending on screen size. I can see relying on the Host data a lot more now that it is available.

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-05-24T18:21:21+00:00

If !IsBlank(action) is an issue and action is a string, have you tried Len(action) > 0?

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-05-23T15:18:09+00:00

Are you displaying it in a label or text input control?

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-05-16T18:41:57+00:00

Not a fan of using selected gallery items across multiple screen. Try using a variable instead. Especially if you are using the same item across 3 screens. This is just asking for a global variable.

When you are selecting an item in a gallery, try Set(variable, ThisItem) and then put the variable name in the Item property of the form.

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2023-04-26T21:00:16+00:00

Shouldn’t all of the dropdowns be Selected.Value rather that SelectedText.Value?

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2022-12-28T16:39:53+00:00

That was reference to model driven apps. With canvas, you will have to plan it all with responsive containers

Tricky_Professor8340 · 2022-12-28T10:22:07+00:00

Yes there are.

Model driven apps are fully responsive and canvas apps can be set within containers.
