Posted on by CU15082249-0

I have input a search bar into my Client Gallery. Inside my items section for the formula I have this:

When I got to preview to see if it works, This is the image I get:

All the information that I'm pulling is text formatted and one key thing to know is my delegation is over the "500" mark for data.

Can someone help out to let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for the help.

@NewberneData unless something has changed recently, the "No item to display" message is reserved for EditForm and DisplayForm controls, not for a Gallery control (which just should display blank if a search string has not been found). Therefore, the issue is not related to what you have in the Items property of the Gallery control, but because you do not have a valid record in the Item property of your Edit Form control.

Thanks for the quick response @Amik in my form section i have this formula in the "DefaultMode" for Edit Form:
Is this the section where I need to write my formula for the search bar?

@NewberneData - I see you're a new member so I assume you do not understand the fundamentals.

What do you have in the Item property of your Edit Form control?

I would also suggest watching this tutorial:

The only thing I have right now in the Item part of my Forms is
ClientGallery.Selected,
and thank you for that video. I'm actually going back over it now to see what I missed. I used that video as a reference to build my search bar.

@NewberneData - is the DataSource property of the EditForm control the same data source as what you have in the Items property of the Gallery control?

Yes it does, the source of my Gallery is ran by my forms in the item section.

@NewberneData - I will rephrase:

Your data source (assume a SharePoint list) is called "CompleteList_1" and that you have "CompleteList_1" in the DataSource property of your EditForm?

Try using Filter() instead of Search() in your Items property for the gallery. Search may in fact work somehow but I've never used it.
I know for sure that Filter() will work if your conditions are correct inside the statement. And you can tell if it's working even without the UI because the editor will show you what is returned if you select the entire Filter() statement with you mouse.

@NewberneData - could you enter the below on the OnSelect property of your Gallery control and confirm what happens?

EditForm('Your Form')
