Hi All,

Is it possible to have a gallery showing all current logged in users?

Further, can it be done on a single screen?

Everything I try only shows my current logged in details, but I want to see everyone whos logged in and on what screen.

Thanks

DW

I assume this could be tedious but you can store logged in information into any DB like SharePoint/Dataverse/SQL or excel file whenever any users uses the app. You can use App.Onstart property to put that information in your DB and bind gallery with that datasource to show that informaion.

HI,

Ok here is an option to do

1. Create a List in SP that stores a users email, their Display name, and LastPingedDateTime

2. Add a Timer to your app

3. Set the timer to run like every 1-5 minutes

now in the TImer, when it triggers you would update the LastPingedDateTime for that user who is logge din

4. Add a Screen that shows everyone who has updated the LastPingDateTime, WITHIN the Timer time.

So if you ping every 5 minutes, then you would show everyone who has pinged within the last 5 minutes.

Then you could have another timer (or use the same one) to Refresh the Gallery

So as soon as a persons time is past 5 minutes they would drop off.

Now you are showing everyone that is FOR SURE logged in, but you have some delay of up to 5 minutes before someone falls off who exitted the app.

If this answers your quesiton please mark as the answer.
