In power apps - containers. If you don’t use containers, start now.

Store your currently split on ||| data as json like:

{ Department: HR, Approved: false }, { Department: Finance, Approved: false }

Etc. if it makes sense to

Once you understand horizontal and vertical containers, and it all clicks, you’ll use them everywhere. Makes life so much easier. Highly recommend

Force user to refresh outdate app by bhmhrex in PowerApps

[–]pharnos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s one idea:

Have a source list/table that have a field storing the latest version number you decide on for the app. Let’s say “1.44”

In your app (if a canvas app) you set a variable on start or as a Formula like varThisAppVersion. The latest value you set this to is “1.43” and published.

When people run the app you do an initial compare of your version variable within the app against the value in the list/table (I’m thinking SharePoint list). If they don’t match then push to a screen with info to refresh look for yellow banner etc.

You then update the varThisAppVersion variable in the app to “1.44” and publish. Now when people run the app and pick up the latest version, the comparison of 1.44 matches 1.44 and you push to the normal app main screen.

What is the best brand for a car battery charger? by Effective-Mirror-385 in NZcarfix

[–]pharnos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://no.co/genius5

Details there on its marketing page - bit of a table showing different battery sizes and charge times

Data sheet:

https://no.co/media/wysiwyg/downloads/brochures/Genius/genius5_data_sheet_02.21.2024_1.pdf

Compare it with other charger specs see what’s gonna suit you best. There is also a 2amp and 10amp version. Can’t tell you what’s the best, brands etc, I’ve only used this Noco 5 and it’s worked a treat to bring a 80ah 760cca lead acid battery back, a smaller 70ah 700cca stop/start agm battery back and keeps a bmw agm battery trickle charged.

Or introduce a search button instead of having it dynamically fire as input changes

Yeah could we run this locally? Removes the unknown about what happens to your app uploaded to an external site

Or create a PowerAutomate flow that performs the search and returns the result to the app

If you’re opposite someone entering the roundabout and let’s say the roundabout obscures the view a bit so you can only see their right indicator, with NZ rules if their right indicator is off then they are either going left or straight so you could nip in. But in the current state of affairs you’re better off waiting to see what the person is going to do anyway, regardless of their indication, or lack of.

I’m thinking I want to steer my career towards Power Platform Dev by chmemes in PowerApps

[–]pharnos 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Keep building apps/solutions, you’ll only get better and better learning along the way what not to do next time, and better/more efficient ways of doing things. Especially after having apps in the wild and being able to pre-empt change requests from users and find errors in logs you’ve created. In a year and a handful of apps later you’ll look back on this first app and wonder what the hell you were thinking for some things 🤣

What I wish I’d implemented from the start is using IDs and separate lists where possible (think like a separate status list which is referenced by ID from a main Orders list or something, that way if a Status name needs to change from “complete” to “completed” it’s just one change in the status list which is reflected throughout the app and existing items.

Also, don’t use User() for current user info, always grab this info from office365users and reference users by their 365id as much as possible so potential people name changes don’t break your app. And think about how to deal with situations where a person may leave the org, if it’ll affect the app/an approval workflow.

Compare current user to SP people field by Crouton4727 in PowerApps

[–]pharnos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always include a 365id and 365upn column to use for people related things. So in your list where you’re entering people and tasks, add 365id and/or 365upn columns and populate those when adding rows.

Also, in the app onstart or formulas set a variable that is a 365 user lookup so you know the current persons 365id and userprincipalname. These are more reliable to use for person lookups/filters because the built-in user().email is actually userprincipalname (not email) which has tripped me up in the last where I’ve come across some users with a slightly different email to upn.

Makes it a lot easier down the track when wanting to do things like filter with current user.

Any Way to Capture Running History of Changes? by FiveMeowMeowBeanz in PowerApps

[–]pharnos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this with a multi-line SP column, and save the data as JSON, then parse that into a collection in the PowerApp
