If I add a record to data source do I need to refresh the data source to see the record

Hi

 

I have a screen which displays a series of records say submissions.

 

There is a "+" in the top right hand corner, if selected navigates to a new record screen.

 

I fill in the new form press submit, SubmitForm is called, and the screen navigates back to the first screen.

 

Should I expect the new record to show on the first screen now or do I need to do a Refresh on the data source before I can see it ?

 

Thanks

 

Nigel

    Hi @NigelP,

     

    Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

     

    I think your thought is correct, if you want to see the new created record within the first screen, you must do a refresh on the data source before seeing it.

     

    I have made a test on my side, if you don't refresh your data source, you may only see the new created record within the first screen (other existing records may not display within the first screen).

     

    Please take a try to set the OnSuccess property of the Edit form control within the New/Edit screen to following formula:

    Back();Refresh('datasource')

     

    Best regards,

    Kris

    Hi Kris

     

    I suspected this was the case.

     

    The issue I have is I have over 1500 records so refreshing that data source takes a little time.

     

    I am worried about the performance of the app as a result.

     

    Regards

    If you want more recording features on windows,  you can try FoneLab screen recorder.

    It helps you record videos, audio and webcam. In a ddition,  it also can take screenshots on windows for you.
