Save and Load previous toggle, radio buttons and text selections

Posted on by VegetA3113

I have created a standalone Powerapps. It is basically just a dashboard with a text input box, a number of toggle switches and radio buttons.

The dashboard will be used just to confirm a list of actions have been started or completed. There is no requirement to save the data as such, but I need the option to keep the toggle selections and radio buttons etc as they were previously when a user reopens the app.

There is no requirement to save the selections other than for it to reapply the selections when the app was closed.

Thank you ☺️

@VegetA3113 ,

You still have to save the data somewhere for the toggles to be set when the user returns. A reference list with the user's email and the toggle positions could be used and then restored using User().Email as a Filter to set Variables for the toggle positions.

Thanks for the reply.

The app will have multiple users so it may have to be on either a OneDrive or SharePoint.

Would you be able to be more specific about how to set this up?

I appreciate the help

You would write to a list (as mentioned) with the toggle positions. You would need to check if the item (user's email) was already there and if not, create a new record, if so edit the current one.

On opening, you would then lookup the list, get the toggle positions as Variables and then set the Toggle Default to these values.

Happy to review any code you write implementing this.
