PowerApps Customized Form - Pop Up Messages

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 407

I have a customized form in which we now need to have some pop up messages open to guide the user with their next steps.  I know this is much easier with a Canvas App, but it's not something we can do right now.

 

If someone changes a "formtype"  dropdown to Booking, can i have it pop up dialogs on the screen for them to say yes or no to?  (not showing hidden fields)

 

Something like

 

STOP! Have has this been fully executed?

Yes - Let them fill out the booked date

No - Next pop up telling them...You cannot enter a date until this has been completed.  Please close out and come back when blah blah blah...

 

I've been searching online and don't see too much for the customized form or what I'm looking for.

 

Thanks!

    Hi @DCNehs ,

     

    SharePoint customize form acts just like standalone Canvas Apps, you will still be able to add additional screens. So on the other two screens, you can add the fuzzy version of the screen cut from screen 1, add a rectangle for the area, a Label to display the message, and buttons to navigate among the three controls. You can update variables in the Navigate function, to control the visible of the data cards as well.

     

    Best regards,

    Sorry for the late response, I had surgery.

     

    We only have 1 screen and did not need additional screens.  Just a pop up to show up on the same screen we have with 1 button to hide and allow them to continue editing, 1 button to close out of everything and not edit because they aren't supposed to yet.

     

    In this case, for anyone interested, this is what the solution was.

    Create a rectangle, label and 2 buttons.  (group them) and on Visible named PopUp

    On ScreenNew (our only screen) OnVisible - UpdateContext({PopUp:false})

    No Button - OnSelect - UpdateContext({PopUp: false});RequestHide()

    Yes Button - OnSelect - UpdateContext({PopUp: false})

     

    For the actual dropdown choices onCHange, otherwise it would show up no matter what was chosen

    If(ddFormType.Selected.Value="Booking", UpdateContext({PopUp: true}),
    If(ddFormType.Selected.Value="Cancelled",UpdateContext({PopUp: true}),
    If(ddFormType.Selected.Value="Proposal",UpdateContext({PopUp: false}))))

     

    I also added a switch to the Label and yes/no buttons so that I could also use the same boxes for a different choice in the dropdown.
