Hi all,
I'm seeking your advice please. I need to add a 'help pane' to my web-browser canvas app, including definitions of form fields (beyond the little tooltip text), business process explanations, and a mail button to email for help. I need it to be easy to update, as things will evolve quite rapidly.
I have a white box pane set up ready to go with an icon that shows and hides the pane using a variable (great). Now I'm just thinking through how to most effectively design the content of this pane.
Has anyone done anything like a help pane and can let me know how they have or would do it?
My initial thoughts are:
- Add one html box and put in my slab of text and headers (I'm not familiar with html, and worry updating the text ongoing by me or others could be tricky).
- Store the help text data in a SharePoint list (my main data source), and show it via a gallery (and maybe with a nested gallery design to be able to expand/collapse sections) (is this overcooking it?).
- Create a collection with help text data and display via gallery (but I'm not sure where/when I'd 'set' the collection and any possible performance issues.
- Add a label per required heading, and a label or html box per required definition/explanation.
I'm not a techy person, recently new to PowerApps, so am interested in an option that is relatively simple to pick up and update ongoing.
I appreciate any and all advice.
Thanks in advance,
Carla
