PowerApps Portal: Add static text anywhere on the portal page

Posted on 27 May 2020 02:18:38 by

Hello Community,

 

I have created a custom PowerApps portal. What's the best easiest way to add static text and be able to put the text anywhere on the portal web page, without needing to touch custom codes (i.e. HTML) if possible? I know we can add the "Text" component to the web page, but it appears whenever we do that the location of the text component is locked on the web page, and there is no easy way to drag or move the text box around. For example, what if I simply want to add a static text header near the top of the web page, above a List component. Is there an easy way to do that?

 

Some pointers would be appreciated!

 

Thank you!

    okay.. so it seems to me you want a static text, but completely dynamic place to where having the text displayed at

    the Portals doesn't offer this capability and I don't think I've ever seen that

     

    what you can do here is first creating a Content Snippet and use it in different web pages

    use the following to display an existing snippet: {{ snippets["your snippet name"] }}

    Hi @OliverRodrigues ,

     

    Thanks for your reply! So for example on one of the portal pages I have a "List" component where it's displaying a view from Dynamics 365. I would like to place the text somewhere above the List view. But on other pages, I would like the text to be at other different locations on the page. So basically I would like to know how flexible it is to have the ability to place text anywhere on the page as needed. And hopefully there is a way to do that without needing to touch the codes.

     

    Hope that clarifies my question.

     

    Thanks!
