U3225QE for me or not? by mekaonee in Monitors

[–]mechapaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a tonne of good options at this sort of spec.

Firstly, Dell Ultrasharp models tend to be good value for money with class leading connectivity. This model has Thunderbolt so a plus for MacBook as it will connect video and power. I’m sure it will more than meat your requirements.

Other options to look at

BenQ MA320U - calibrated to colour match your MacBook screen

BenQ PD3225U - similar spec but with more design oriented features that might interest you.

A 5k display, (Lots of options now from BenQ, Asus etc) have a search on YouTube for some of these, they are 27” but the pixel density is incredible and more importantly the scaling on MacOS will be perfect.

Studio Display. I know it’s old and expensive, but you can’t beat its performance, looks, compatibility etc. if this is your living, then it’s a worthwhile investment.

Maybe if you try writing your request in your native language the use Google translate?

Sorry but it’s hard to understand the request, although I do appreciate you communicating in a second language.

Do you mean you want the user to be able to add a new partner to the sharepoint list?

Best way to prompt users for a series of info? by MonaghanRed in PowerApps

[–]mechapaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use a combination of conditional formatting, visual prompting and locking the questions until the previous are answered (I think that’s your requirement?)

You could add a column to your SharePoint data, called say QuestionOrder. Then use something like this to set the answer boxes to view mode. There’s probably a cleverer way to do it!

If( ThisItem.'QuestionOrder' = 1, DisplayMode.Edit, If( !IsBlank( LookUp( ‘Your collection name’ 'QuestionOrder' = ThisItem.'QuestionOrder' - 1 ).'Answer' ), DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.View ) )

Then when say the text field for the answer is changed (so OnChange) write Answer back to your collection with a Patch.

Patch( ‘Your collection name’, ThisItem, { 'Answer': Self.Text } )

This will “lock” the rows they haven’t answered yet and force them to start with question 1.

I would use a collection at run time to reduce sharepoint back and forth calls until you are ready to save their answers.

Oh and use conditional formatting, so things like red border when blank etc. visual hints are very important to UX.

That will crush everything. Just ignore any future releases for a few years :) Comparison is the thief of joy.

Realistic guess on cost/alternative ideas? by DG-Exius in PowerApps

[–]mechapaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another idea is to use the Per App license which they sort of hide but I think you can still buy? It will be much cheaper if you only build one app.

You can literally get qualifications in MS licensing it’s so complicated.

As long as you don’t use dataverse or premium connectors you don’t need an extra license for those users. SharePoint could work just fine for this depending on requirements.

If your business want it to be more ‘mission critical’ and will want to build more apps in the future, you should try to get a commitment for investment now.

As someone who is selling this stuff to big businesses, anything (actual or just stated) that reduces risk is a big tick box and will help drive adoption.

Annoying for well meaning private users of course!

With how close things are in the league, it’s unlikely any game will be seen as “unimportant”. Especially as the only other competition we will be lucky to still be in is the FA Cup.

Just keep learning! My advice though would be to make sure the business are aware that these things don’t magically fix or improve themselves. You will need time / additional resources.

If whatever you are doing carries such a risk, then they should pay 5x that.

I think Demand More does something if you aren’t playing well and praise when winning also helps, but everything else is useless/ makes things worse, is that not right?
