"action" menu option not appearing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 581

I'm working on a Canvas App, and I do not seem to have an "Action" menu option between view and settings where I would expect it to be - I need to use Power Automate with the App so it's necessary.

 

Is this a permissions issue? I've got Environment Maker and System Customizer privileges.

 

Thanks

    Look on the Left hand sidebar for the Power Automate logo.  MS has been changing the menu and if you are on the new menu you won't see an action button.  But you can open the Power Automate panel using the logo.

    Yes, the menu has changed and there is no longer an action tab.  See my previous reply.  There is now a Power Automate icon on the sidebar.  You can use that to open the Power Automate tab and add a flow.

    We are looking for the action menu so that we can add navigation to a button. Not Power Automate

    You don't need the Action menu to do that.  Just add Navigate(screename, ScreenTransition.Typename) to the OnSelect of the button. That's all the navigate menu on the old Action button did.

    Thanks for the info. For other noobs like me, who dont know all of the action syntax, you can go to settings, upcoming features and Enable Legacy Ribbon.

    how do you write an expression attached to an action after this? Do we just apply it to the OnSelect property?
