Tabbed form, default to a section

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I have a form, will multiple edit screens to cater for another scenario.

On my canvas app, SPO data source, I have set up tabs for the different sections in a long form, this all works. but how can I get the form to navigate to a tabbed section based on a status value and if its a new form, then to navigate to Part A tab.

I.e. If status is 'Part A Complete', when a user opens the form, they should be re-directed to PartB of the tabbed form, currently when my form opens it shows all the tabs but a user see a blank screen until they click on any of the tabs.

I'd like them to navigate directly to the tab, as opposed to seeing a blank screen.

On my OnSelect for the tab button   I have Set(VarTab, "Part A")

    Hi @yuxi666 

    Not sure this link helps with my scenario

     

    This is what I have on my App OnStart

    VarRecord is ThisItem on my gallery:

     

    If(VarRecord.Status.Value="Part A Rejected", Navigate(PartAScreen),VarRecord.Status.Value="Part A Complete", Navigate(PartBScreen), VarRecord.Status.Value="Part B Complete", Navigate(PartCScreen), VarRecord.Status.Value="Part C Complete", Navigate(PartDScreen), Navigate(HomeScreen))

     

    My issue is, when my app starts, the Tabs show, but the form does not until the tabs are clicked, so Part A is clicked, then the Part A section displays, i'd like it to know what stage its at and default to that tabbed screen displayed, i.e. if a new form, Part tab should be on screen, rather than getting the user to click on a tab

     

    is this possible?

    HI @yuxi666 

    When the form opens, it will not default to Part A, or Part B etc, it shows a blank screen like in the in the attachment
