Check Box Selection in PowerApps solution

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
Hi,
 
We are building a PowerApps based app that has a user dashboard with line items with check boxes in front. Based on the checkbox checked we display reports associated with that line item on the bottom section. The reports have view details icon. When the user clicks on the icon is open the report template. There is a home icon on the report that when clicked takes the user back to the dashboard. 
The issue we are having is once the user clicks on the home icon on the report template and is taken back to the dashboard, the check box initially checked gets unchecked and the bottom section reports associated with it goes away and the user has to check the line item again to show the reports below.
Question: How can we accomplish the task that when user is directed back to the dashboard the item checked still remain checked. 
thank you for your help/feedback.

    HI,
     
    Please share images, I have no idea if you are talking about Screens, Forms, different apps or what.
     
    If you are saying that the last (back icon) is supposed to load the App itself again in a Tab, and then automatically
    take you to the Screen and have the box checked, thats easy enough

    In your last icon, add something like Checked=true as a parameter

    Then in the AppOnStart, you would use the Param function to see if Checked is there or not and if it is, if its true or false

    If its true then you would do something like

    Set(AutoCheck, true);

    or not
    Set(AuthCheck, false);

    Then in the CheckBox Default you would put AutoCheck and if its true it will be checked and if false it wont be
