Formviewer - Office365Users isn't recognized

Posted on by LuLuidt123

Hi,

I am trying to build a detail screen to show information about people in Office365. I'm using Formviewer, but it does seem to go wrong with the very first step. With Data Source I've selected Office365Users, but i get this error:

Name isn't valid. 'Office365Users' isn't recognized.

This error appears most commonly when a formula refers to something that no longer exists (for example, a control that you've deleted)

I really cannot find what I'm doing wrong here, can someone help?

Hi, assuming you have made necessary Data connection to Office365Users, you could have a gallery to display users. See post by Adrian_celis: How to pull list of all office 365 users list in PowerApps?

ClearCollect(collAllUsers,
Office365Users.SearchUserV2({isSearchTermRequired:false}).value)

Items for gallery: colAllUsers

Hi!

Thanks, I already do have a gallery displaying users, made with Office365Users.SearchUserV2({searchTerm:txtInputEmployee.Text, isSearchTermRequired:false}).value.

Now I want to click on one specific user and have some more information displayed. On the gallery I see name, job and picture and when I click on one I would like to see a bit more on a second scree (very similar to the powerapp tutorial about flooring). For the second screen I would like to use the Formviewer, but I don't know what to do with the "DataSource". Just clicking on the right on Office365Users does nothing, and just copying the same formula does not seem to connect the data either.

HI @LuLuidt123 ,
In this situation where the data will not be automatically recognized, we need to customize the data card
I made a template for your reference:
Form：
Set form's item:
Set form's Datasource
Click [Edit fields]
Add a Custom Card
Add a lab in datacard to show message:
Here is a link about data card for your reference:
