Gallery items based on Lookup Field

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello Experts,

In my canvas app, I am using

1) Users Entity

2) Custom entity called Routes

Routes has a lookup field called Courier that has Users Entity as a related entity.

I have two requirements:

1) I want a gallery that shows the list of distinct couriers as Routes can have more than one row associated with one courier.

2) I want to have Search text box as well which can search couriers bases on Full Name for example which is a field in Users Entity.

What I have tried so far:

1) I have not been able to do Users.Routes (It says the specified column is accessible in this context)

2) Distinct(Routes, Courier).Result (This works for requirement #1 but I do not know how to make search work (requirement #2))

So, is there a way to get only the distinct records from Users entity that are referenced in Routes entity?

Hi,
Requirement 1: Use the formula Distinct(Routes, Courier) to get the distinct couriers, and in the gallery use the formula ThisItem.Result.'Full Name' to display the full name.
Requirement 1 & 2: Following are the steps,
Step1: Create a collection to store the above query result, i.e. Collect(colItems, ForAll(Distinct(Routes, Courier), {'Full Name': Result.'Full Name', 'First Name': Result.'First Name'}))
Step2: Add a text box control
Step3: Add a gallery control, and write the formula Search(colItems, TextBox.Text, "Full Name") on items property

Hi @Anonymous ,

Here is a simple workaround, create a new column by AddColumns function to store the FullName of couriers from User Entity.

Please try to put the following code to Gallery.Items property:

Search(Distinct(AddColumns(Routes,"UserFullName",Courier.'Full Name'),UserFullName),SearchTextInput1.Text,"Result")

Set Text property of Label inside Gallery: ThisItem.Result

Hope this helps.
