Posted on by Helloworld2

Hi,

I have a screen that is connected to a SharePoint list

Galley is a list of names from the sharepoint site

Form1 is the users information again from the sharepoint list

I have a button that is called Submit and has Onselect : Submitform - sends info back to sharepoint list

I also want a check box that auto ticks when the button has been ticked.

But. I also have a success screen, so Submit button - Success screen - Tick box.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you.

Hi,

You can use a variable. You also need to validate if your submit works properly before checking your checkbox, right ?

Ok, first, initialize a variable. On the 'OnVisible' property of your first screen:

Set(_ticks; false)

Then, use 'IfError' function to make sure you validate good process of your submit:

IfError(

SubmitForm(Form1);

Notify("Error, submit not completed: " & FirstError.Message; NotificationType.Error; 2000);

Notify("Success story."; NotificationType.Success; 2000);; Set(_ticks; true)

)

Now, you just have to set your checkbox 'Checked' property value to _ticks:

It should works!

I hope it helps!

@Helloworld2,

Placed a button (submit) on Select Property of button used context variable varcheck as true.

Post succesful submission of record set the value as ->

UpdateContext({ varCheck: false})

In the Default property of the checkbox - pass the context variable

Also update the checkbox OnSelect property , in case if user unselecting the checkbox.

Hope this helps!

That was incredibly helpful thankyou,

the next issue I have is that once that user has been actioned = checkbox ticked, the MD will then move to a different user to complete the audit for aswell

Currently that checkbox remains ticked,

how can I make it remain ticked on the users that have been actioned but unticked on the users that have not yet been actioned?

Sorry if have misunderstood the below

Thank you,

@Helloworld2,

Ordered one food and adding more toppings to it 😁.

Lets tweek your solution in this way.

Create a column in the backend - ActionedByUser (type: Person or text)

If its text - use the User().Email property.

Person

Patch( YourListName, Form1.LastSubmit, { ActionedByUser: User().Email, IsActioned : CheckboxCanvas1.Checked } );

Checkbox default property (if ActionedByUser is text column)

If(ThisItem.IsActioned && ThisItem.ActionedByUser = User().Email,true,false)

Person Column

ThisItem.IsActioned && ThisItem.ActionedByUser.Email = User().Email

Hope this helps.
