Hi,

 

I am trying to create a app setting's screen for my app in case management of the app (admins) want to tweak things....one thing I have is a process that sends an email once a task has been completed.

 

How do I change this to remember whats in a textbox on the settings screen. This would be global for any user that would do this function not tied to the user. Would I need to save the data in another table or can it be stored in the app itself.

OnSelect = Office365Outlook.SendEmail(txtEmailAddress, "Added New Project", "PowerApps Project has been added here")

 The button is on a completely different screen to the settings app too.

 

Sorry i'm a novice at powerapps so still learning.

    You would need to save it in another table.   Since you can't SET anything except variables, any text based control would have to get the value from somewhere else, another control or variable and those wouldn't be remembered in the app.

    Hi @moosebot88 ,

     

    I think you could use the User().Email function to save the user's email address to the data source.

    When users use the app, they can filter out their submitted records based on this .

    For example:

    If I have a gallery I can set Items to:

    Filter(my datasource, Email Column=User().Email)

     

    Best Regards,

    Wearsky
