I'm a total beginner in Power Apps, so bear with me. I've successfully created a multi-screen form. I've created a status button on the home screen of the app. The button's text updates according to the status of the record. I want to direct the user to the appropriate form/screen, based on the text/status of the button. Can this be done with one button control?

Example:

If button reads "Pending Disposition" navigate to the "Disposition Form",

If button reads "Pending Approval" navigate to the "Approval Form"

Current State: Button Property, ON SELECT:

If(
 Text(Button4) = "Pending Disposition",
 ResetForm(HoldForm1);
 ResetForm(HoldForm2);
 ResetForm(DispositionForm);
 ResetForm(ApprovalForm);
 Set(
 varFormData,
 varIdea
 );
 Navigate(
 'Disposition Screen',
 ScreenTransition.Fade
 )
)

Use nested if statements like this:
If(
Self.Text = "Home",
Navigate(HomeScreen),
If(
Self.Text = "Clock In",
Navigate(ClockIn)
)
);

Or use a switch like this:
Switch(
Self.Text,
"Home",
Navigate(HomeScreen),
"Clock In",
Navigate(ClockIn)
)
