Canvas App min height

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

We are building a canvas app. Currently we selected the 16:9 size 1366x768. Our users are primarily on a desktop browser. Most of their screens run > 1920x1080. 

 

With the 16:9 canvas, the height is very short. I wanted to adjust our canvas to something taller such as 1200 height to minimize the PowerApps vertical scroll bar. The downside is, if we have a page with very little content there is a ton of white space. Is there an easy way to set an min height such as 800px like you can in CSS? If not, what have folks found as a workaround. 

 

Part of the reason here is our home page is a table which is roughly 800px tall. Although when they fill out a form, a page can easily be 2000 pixels tall as there are a ton of questions.

    I would recommend turning off the Scale to fit feature in app settings and then build your screens to autosize based on App.Height and App.Width.  If you read this article on responsive design for PowerApps you'll get the idea.  Its a little more work but provides a lot better control.

    This is very helpful thanks. 

     

    Do you/others have any app examples to show where great UI design was applied in PowerApps to a responsive model here? Trying to get a visual example of how well it works and how far people have pushed the system.

    I have a sample, but since it uses a couple SharePoint lists as data sources it would be difficult to share by just exporting it. I don't have detailed instructions on how to build the lists out, etc.  But it doesn't look all that different from other apps.  Its just designed to resize fonts, and move controls around, and resize them as the height and width of the app change.

    If the data isn't sensitive some screenshots or just a quick video of it would be great to see. Just trying to see how it responds with the various breakpoints from a desktop browser, to tablet, to phone.
