Hi All, 

 

I want to create an app which is linked to a few Sharepoint libraries Ie Maths seating plans, ICT seating plans ect. I want a centralised app that lets you select a teachers name (which is the name of the folder within say ICT seating plans) which then brings up all the seating plans within that folder (these will be in PDF format)

 

When you select the teacher in the app it will then bring up all the seating plans for that teacher to download or preview 

 

Is this possible to do on power apps? 

 

Thanks in advance
