App/Sharepoint list very slow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi guys, 

 

I have a power app which involves engineers going to site and inputting utility reads into the app and this patches to a SharePoint list. The app and Sharepoint list however are working very slowly, to the point 'edit in grid view' will not even load. I have other apps with way more rows in its SharePoint but run faster. The slow app currently allows engineers to take a photo of the meter hen the url link for the photo is uploaded in the SharePoint list. Could this be what is slowing everything down? 

Thanks in advance.

    Slowness of app can be related to many of the reasons:

    1. Internet bandwidth where engineers are using the app. I did experience with the users using the app with low bandwidth causing data integrity issues or loading issues.

    2. The logic defined in the app start and loading specific screen can be another reason. How many rows of information we are showing the user in edit in grid view? Did you try provide some filters to narrow down the results to show only first few items? Also, the number of columns you are showing in the grid view.

    3. When you are patching, are using bulk patching approach or ForAll approach?

     

    The above are few reasons and there can be other reasons.

    Thanks a lot for your reply much appreciated. I think the network is causing issues with the app but struggling to get it to work offline currently.

     

    The SharePoint is having to store a lot of data, approximately 13 columns. One of which is the aforementioned photo. I have attached a photo of my app below to give you some insight. 

     

    I am using the patch function currently to send my data to Sharepoint as seen in the other image. 

     

    Any further help is much appreciated.
