Open screen in new window?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 294

Is it possible to open a canvas app screen in a new window? I have some use cases where my user may need to alternate back and forth between two screens and would like to offer them that ability. If open in new window is not an option, any creative ideas?

    probably this can be achieved with the help of Launch functions and parameters 

    you can refer https://mscrminfo.blogspot.com/2020/08/redirect-to-specific-screen-in-power.html too

    You can acheive this by adding the function to your button
    onSelect: Launch("URL OF THE CANVAS APP")

    Hi @krishnags. I followed the instructions in the link, but it doesn't achieve the required result. I am looking to open one of my app's screens in a new window. Would you happen to know the correct syntax in this case, for using the "Launch" function?

    @Gareth_C . Thanks for your reply. Putting the app URL in the "Launch" function reopens the whole app in the new window and asks me if I want to override my existing session.

    Hi @karimabdelrazek, try this. This will open app in a new tab. Replace the APP-ID* below with your app id found under Detail.

    Launch("/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/APP-ID-OF-YOUR-APPLICATION")
