Ways to reduce form submission speed to less than 0.2 seconds

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hi, 

 

I've recently built a simple app using power app for recording numbers scanned using handheld barcode scanners.

The purpose is to record the barcode numbers with timestamps.

 

-The form is set to select the submit button OnChange in the text input box.

-Whenever the barcode scanner scans a barcode, it enters the numbers into the text input box

-Followed by the "enter key" which is triggered by the barcode scanner. Form submission triggered

-After which the form will automatically reset

 

*It has a timestamp to record the submission time

*App only has 1 screen, no other functions

*Tried connecting to google sheet (Slow, Frequent error with server)

*Now connected to dataverse instead

 

The intention is for the form to automatically submit once the enter key is triggered by the scanner. However, the submission process often takes more than 1/2 of a second. Hence if the user scans another barcode before the submission process is completed, 2 barcodes will be combined for that entry.

 

Is there a way to reduce the submission speed to at least 0.2 seconds or faster? What is the possible cause for the delay?

 

I am new to building power apps. So if I miss out on some important information, please let me know

    Instead of SubmitForm use Patch to a collection. Then ClearCollect(datasource, collection) when the collection reaches an arbitrary size or set a timer for the ClearCollect ().
