How do I implement custom list views in a powerapp?

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am attempting to filter a SharePoint list on PowerApps using a custom list view I've created on SharePoint. Is there a way to do this? Essentially, I want users to only view their own items on the list. (It's a project portfolio, so their own projects).

Any suggestions? I've attempted to do it through workflows and by applying "Filter" commands, but I cannot seem to get it to work.

Thanks!

What designates an item as theirs? Do you want to filter on who created the item? or is there some other field that tracks who owns the project portfolio? You can do it with a filter command, but there has to be a field that can be filtered. Could you provide more detail?

You cannot utilize a view on a SharePoint list at this time. However, you can certainly put that same logic into a Filter in PowerApps.

You didn't mention any criteria information or columns in your lists, so, as an example:

Filter(projectList, projectOwner=User().DisplayName)

This would, if used as a datasource for a Gallery, give you a list of all the items in projectList that have a column called projectOwner set to the display name of the current user.

If you have more specifics you need some help with, post back and we'll go further on it.

I hope this is helpful for you.

In the project portfolio, there is a column entitled PHP. I want each PHP to only see their projects. Typically, they create their own items(projects) in the list, but in case they don't for some odd reason, I want the users to only see items where they are listed as the PHP.

Thank you.

What kind of column is the PHP column? A person column or a text column or something else?

So, the quick and simple is to then have a filter like this for your gallery:

Filter(projectList, PNP.Email = User().EMail)

This will compare the email component of the PNP people column with the current user email.
