Hello!
Is there anyway for a user who is using my app to save their current view until next time that person opens the app? I got several filters and so on, so when they have filtered so they are satisfied they want to keep those settings until next time they use the app.
Thanks
@Anonymous This feature is not available 'out-of-the-box' but you could build it. You would probably want to save this information to a datasource rather SaveData/LoadData because that only works when the user is on a mobile device.
Please provide a screenshot so I can see what your app looks like.

You could save where they left in a personal settings that would load each time they re-open the app and bring them to where they left. Check out https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-savedata-loaddata
You will have to make use of SaveData and LoadData function, more details on:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-savedata-loaddata
Also for offline capabilities:

Alright.. I'm kinda new to this. I've read a bit and tried the formula in the example but didnt work. I dont know where the storage should be?
SaveData( Collection; Name )
where should I create the folder "Collection" and so on?
@Anonymous I'll let the others handle this one since there's so many users already trying to help. But keep in mind... SaveData/LoadData only works on a Tablet/Phone. It does not work on a PC/Laptop.
oh.. okey. We are using PC/Laptop so would be nice to know if there is a solution for that
@Anonymous Yes, there is likely a solution. Please take a screenshot of the app and indicate which filters need to be saved. Then we can start from there.
What is your primary data source? SharePoint, CDS, other?
Either case, you could create a List/Entity which stores this. Then as part of the app loading, you can retrieve the User's record (if it exists), and then update (if it exists), or create (if it does not). Then it's up to you what you want to save about the 'saved view', which you can then use in the app session (mobile or web).
I'm using sharepoint. How do I accomplish what you just explained?
Did you watch the video i posted, it shows you how to go about it.
