Automatically refresh Powerapp and return to Screen 1 after patching to Sharepoint.

Posted on by JM-20031104-0

Hello

I have built an app to record various assets and maintenance schedules in different locations. The app is working and making records in Sharepoint as expected. Woohoo!

Now I'm trying to work out how to have the app automatically refresh and return to Screen 1 after patching the record to Sharepoint.

Otherwise, is there any formula that will automatically move to a fresh screen following submission of the asset record?

The app will be used by multiple people, and I would like to reduce the probability of duplicate entries.

Hi Kalathiya. You very kindly helped me get this far. Do you have any advice for this next, and hopefully final step?

Cheers

James

there is few ways to do it

Option one if it's a form

Refresh('The Assets List');
ResetForm(frmAsset);
NewForm(frmAsset);
Navigate(Screen1, ScreenTransition.Fade);
Notify("Asset record submitted successfully.", NotificationType.Success);

option two if it's a patch

IfError( Patch( 'The Assets List', Defaults('The Assets List'), { Title: txtAssetName.Text, Location: drpLocation.Selected.Value, MaintenanceDate: dpMaintenanceDate.SelectedDate } ), Notify("Something went wrong. The asset was not saved.", NotificationType.Error), Refresh('The Assets List'); Reset(txtAssetName); Reset(drpLocation); Reset(dpMaintenanceDate); Navigate(Screen1, ScreenTransition.Fade); Notify("Asset record submitted successfully.", NotificationType.Success) )

Hi @JM-20031104-0

Based on what you are asking, @SebS has the right approach.

When I am writing a reply, I always hit refresh to see if someone beat me to it. And @SebS did ;)

Hello @JM-20031104-0,

Glad to hear the app is working fine now.

Sabs Approach is also correct.

Yes, after the Patch() you can simply add below things:
#1. Refresh the SharePoint list
#2. Reset the controls.
#3. Navigate back to Screen 1

IfError( Patch( 'Assets List', Defaults('Assets List'), { 'Maintenance Tasks':MainTasksCombo.SelectedItems, //If it;s single select choice then replace SelectedItems to Selected 'Maintenance Frequency':MainFreqCombo.SelectedItems } ), Notify("Error while saving record", NotificationType.Error,2500), Refresh('Assets List'); Reset(MainTasksCombo); Reset(MainFreqCombo); //Add all the controls here for Reset. Navigate(Screen1, ScreenTransition.None); Notify("Record saved successfully", NotificationType.Success,2500) )

Hi @JM-20031104-0,

I will add something here - if your (I assume a) gallery on Screen 1 is based directly on the SharePoint list (not a collection), then you should not need to refresh the data source as all controls on a screen will reset and requery any data source they are linked to when opening the screen. If it is based on a collection, then you need to re-collect to get the updated data.
