Org browser - search bar on search screen not working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 77

Hello,

 

I have modified the Org Browser home screen so that it has two search boxes. One to search by name and the other to search by department. Depending on which search box is used, this takes them to a different search screen.

Once you've conducted the search, it takes you to the search screen with all the results. On this screen, there is another search box so they can conduct another search if the results didn't return what they were looking for. On the first search screen (SearchScreen), this search box works fine.

 

However on the second search screen (SearchScreen_1), which filters the results by department, the search box at the top doesn't work.

Can anyone shed some light on this? There are some images below to show the formula for the SearchScreen_1 box.

    Why is your data source the searchuser collection?

    In which property of your gallery is your formula?

    Hi @v-xiaochen-msft ,

     

    I'm fairly new to Power Apps so I have copied the existing SearchScreen to make SearchScreen_1 (the image shown above).

    The org browser is searching the users and then filtering the user by department (e.g. Searching for all the users in the 'Marketing' Department.

    Hi @DTTN ,

     

    Does the Searchuser collection have data at this time?

    And what's the output of your gallery Items?

    You could put the cursor at the end of the formula and it will load the output.

    Hi @v-xiaochen-msft 

     

    This is what comes up when I look at the SearchUser collections.

    This is the output of the gallery items in both search screens (not sure if I've done it correctly)

    When I do a search on the home page by 'Department' this is what comes up on SearchScreen_1 (which is working). But it's when I try to do another search using the search bar on top that doesn't work.

    EDIT: I tried it again after doing a test and this came up
