PowerApps Embedded App shows different data initially while loading

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have created a PowerApps application and embedded in d365 application. It shows information regarding the entity that it is connected to PowerApps using that entities 'Unique Id'.

However when the user first loads the page for say 'Unique Id' = 2, it shows data from from 'Unique Id' = 1 initially while the app is loading and then later it changes to correct information for 'Unique Id' = 2. Similar thing happens when open the app for any other 'Unique Id'. This confuses the user quite a bit.

Is there any way I can avoid this from happening?

Can I give some default value to ModelDrivenFormIntegration so that nothing is displayed while the app is loading?

Hi sg3,

Thank you for your post to the community. Is the Power Apps app a canvas app embedded on the Dynamics page, or is this for a model-driven app? This information will give me a better idea around our next steps.

Thank you!

Hi sg3,

Thank you for your reply. Could you share the code you are using for the gallery for the ModelDrivenFormIntegration function to display the data? I also wanted to check in to ask if you could clear the browser cache and let me know if the issue persists? When this problem happens, is any data being written or is it just displaying the data?

This information will help me better diagnose the cause of the issue.

Thank you!

I am using a table.
This is the code I am using:
SortByColumns(Filter('Work Order', ActualFolderPath = "msdyn/" & [@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item.'Number' & "_" & Upper(Substitute([@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item.msdyn_id, "-", "")) & "/"), "Created")

I have cleared the cache and checked, it is still there.

It is just displaying data.

Hi,
I have found out what is happening.
My mistake. I made wrong observations.
Initially the 'Unique Id' is blank. Which is fine.
However I have noticed is that it is taking to receive data from dynamics page.
I have created a dynamic text box to show the Id value with code:
Textbox.Text = [@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item.'Number'

When I open the dynamics page for a certain number, it takes some time before the number shows up in the text box. Till then it shows different data.
Is there any way to speed up the process?

Hi sg3,

Thank you for your reply. In terms of performance, I wouldn’t expect to app to take long to update the data. I would like to share the following resources which describe how to optimize performance for an app. Can you check and see if any of the scenarios outlined here help with the slowness for your app?

Hi RoryL,
Thanks for your help in this matter.
I have gone through both the performance optimization pages you shared.
The optimizations mentioned haven't really improved the performance.
I have a fairly basic app.
It is connected to an Entity, SharePoint library and 4 Flows.
There are many folders in SharePoint library and the folders are filtered based on date from ModelDrivenFormIntegration control and files within that folders are displayed. There aren't more more than 15 files in each folder and usually 4-5 files in each folder.
As I mentioned above, I have added a Text Box with data ModelDrivenFormIntegration control.
What I have noticed is the moment the Text Box is populated, files from SharePoint library folder are displayed immediately.
It is just getting data into ModelDrivenFormIntegration control from Dynamics page to filter SharePoint library that is taking time.
I am not sure how to improve the said speed.
Any insight would be helpful.

Hi sg3,

Thank you for your reply. We’d be happy to help determine why the app is slow. We will need to collect some additional diagnostics to better understand the cause to do this though. Would you be able to create a support request? This will allow us to work with you directly to get this data. More information about how to create a support ticket is available here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/get-help-support

Thank you,

Rory
