Documentation of Objects in a Canvas App

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Is there a method in PowerApps or Power Automate to create a list of all of the controls in a PowerApps Canvas App?

 

For instance, if I have an app with one screen, and that screen has a text box, a label, and an image, is there a way I can create a list or an output itemizing those? Something similar:

 

txt_TextBox

lbl_Label

img_Image

 

As I look at optimizing and documenting the objects and code in my app, it is often very useful for me to have a list of the objects in a spreadsheet or something.

    Hi @JeffreyMeyer_OV,

     

    A while back I answered a similar topic on how to document Power Apps which also tackles automating this process. Within that topic I provided a link towards a PowerDocu demo, which allows you to automatically create technical documentation about your flows or apps.

     

    If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution & give it a thumbs up.

    Thanks!
