Using a collection for navigation.

I have a collection that gives me the order in which I want users to navigate through my app screens by hitting the next button.

The inital button click, goes to the first item/screen in the collection (screen 11 in the image). Then I want to the next button to navigate to the second item/screen in the collection (screen 6). As you hit the next button, I would like to navigate to the remainder of the screens in the collection: 15, 7, 5, 12, 3, 2, 10, 14....

The collection will shuffle each time so it needs to be dynamic. Any ideas? I appreciate any help.

Hi @lalo1818 ,

Do a Collection like this (with your actual screen names)

ClearCollect( colRandomNum, Table( { Id: 11, Screen: Screen1 }, { Id: 6, Screen: Screen2 }, { Id: 15, Screen: Screen3 } ) )

And then

Navigate( LookUp( colRandomNum, Id = YourNumberChosen ).Screen )

That is the way I had it, but then I added the shuffle function. So with the shuffle function, the screen names with be different evey time. Should I use a variable for the screen?

Hi @lalo1818 ,

I do not believe what you want is possible (aligning random numbers with the correct screen - how do you choose the screen ?)

ok, good to know. I'll try different logic. I was using RandBetween, but it keeps giving me duplicates. Thank you for your help!
