I have a SP list that i want to do a slideshow onto a page.

It's basically to showcase achievements with a column (yes/no) to filter.

it's all text, no pictures, just to displaying what happened and want it to be automatic to scroll through.

tried to see if there might be a SP webpart but no luck.

Though about making an power app, but i couldn't figure out how it would be able to showcase each item on the list automatically without me creating a new screen every time one is submitted.

Would I use a timer to go through the different items?

Hello,

You're on the right track about using a timer. If you have already indexed your SP list items, the following Canvas App tutorial will guide you to accomplish what you're looking for. Plus pagination will help with SP delegation issues:

Hi @nerdyplayer,

Yes - the best process would be a Timer, however it is not quite as simple as relying directly on the Timer Value.

As an example, it you want to display each item at five second intervals and you had ten items, your start icon/button would have OnSelect

UpdateContext({varTimer: false}); UpdateContext( { varTimer: true, varShow: 0 } );

Your Timer would have Start
varTimer

Duration
5000

OnTimerEnd
If( varShow < 10, UpdateContext({varTimer: false}); UpdateContext({varTimer: true}); UpdateContext({varShow: varShow + 1}) )

and the Visible of the elements you want to display
varShow > 0 varShow > 1 varShow > 2

and so on for each
