Showing users Outlook calendar

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 72

Hi, I'm using parts of the calendar template screen in my PowerApp so users can view their Outlook calendar and appointments within the app.

At the moment when you open the app and navigate to the screen with the Outlook calendar, it is blank and users have to select a calendar from a drop-down box to populate the galleries. This drop-down includes colleagues' calendars.

I would instead like the users to automatically view just their own calendar so when they navigate to the screen it is pre-populated with their Outlook information and to remove the whole drop-down completely as they only need to view their own calendar.

 

I have attached images of the code used, does anyone know or can figure out what code I need to do this?

 

Thanks,

Caoimhe

    Hi @caoimhelambert,

     

    You can hard code the default value of the dropdown to "Calendar" and make the dropdown control not visible.

     

    On the OnVisible property of the screen put in, Select('Dropdown Control Name')

    Hi @AARON_C ,

    Yes that works thanks but the default property for the dropdown is the Birthdays calendar, any ideas on how to set it to the users specific calendar?

    The default of drop-down has "_myCalendar.DisplayName" in it. I believe the "_myCalendar" is a global variable, it can be seen set in the screenshot I've attached. I'm not sure how to change this to the user's calendar. 

     

    Thanks,

    Caoimhe
