Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All

 

Good day 

 

Actually im facing an issue which is driving me crazy 

Actually i have used a flow onstart of application 

wherin code is set(gblflowresponse,flowname.run(Parameter).response))  and next based on this gblflow response i have to decide what screen user has to navigate 

I have added timer control aswell of 10 sec delay but still its not working out right way for me 

i want it should wait till response is set 

but problem is flow runs but it doesnt wait for resonse to set and goes ahead with next line of code which is  causing lot of abnormal feature 

would request you to help me here

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    That is not available. Global variables and collections, including those created in OnStart, are not available in StartScreen. There are declarative alternatives for doing this that are on the way.

    The alternatives I can offer are create a blank screen as the start screen and add a timer or a toggle to wait for the flow to runs. Trigger the event(judging the result of the flow and navigate) via the ontimerend property of the timer or by changing the value of the toggle to trigger its onchange property.

     

    Best Regards,

    Bof
