Canvas app: Running a timer on a different page

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

 

I have a power app where on a screen that is never shown, i have a timer. this timer is set to start for pages that will call a function, which this timer will in turn execute it on timer end. the reason this function is set on a different screen is that this is called from multiple pages and writing it there prevents having to copy code into different screens. 

 

this functionality seems to work well while i'm building and testing it (in the editor, pressing play). however, when i try to run the app in run only mode from make dot powerapps dot com, the timer doesn't run. 

 

has anyone encountered this issue before? 

 

thanks,
Lawrence
