    Hi @rmorley ,

     

    This is possible.

    What you need to do add this to your AppStart() Property and make sure that you have added the same Screens on your app

     

    ClearCollect(
 TestNavigationMenu,
 {
 Target: "Screen1", //Text for Label inside gallery
 Screen: Screen1 //Name of the Screen
 },
 {
 Target: "Screen2", //Text for Label inside gallery
 Screen: Screen2 //Name of the Screen
 },
 {
 Target: "Screen3", //Text for Label inside gallery
 Screen: Screen3 //Name of the Screen
 },
 {
 Target: "Screen4", //Text for Label inside gallery
 Screen: Screen4 //Name of the Screen
 }
);

     

    Add a TextInput Field and a Gallery with a Label:

    SearchGallery.jpg

     

    On your gallery Items() Property add this code:

     

    //If TextInput1 is blank the gallery is empty
    If(
 !IsBlank(TextInput1.Text), //TextInput1 is the name of the TextInput Field
 Search(
 TestNavigationMenu,
 TextInput1.Text,
 "Target" //Target is the Screen Text Column on your collection
 )
)

    On Gallery's Height():

    CountRows(Gallery1.AllItems)*78 //Will change the height of the gallery depending 
    on the rows returned on your results multiplied by the template size (78)

    On Gallery's OnSelect():

    Navigate(Screen)

    Best of luck!

    Hi @rmorley ,

    Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think the combination of If function and Timer control could achieve your needs.

     

    I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

    Add a Timer control in your app, set the Duration property to following:

    1000

    set the AutoStart property and Repeat property to following:

    true

    set the OnTimerEnd property to following:

    If(
 TextSearchBox1.Text = "Screen1",
 Navigate(Screen1);Reset(TextSearchBox1), /* <-- TextSearchBox1 represents the text searach box in your app */
 TextSearchBox1.Text = "Screen2",
 Navigate(Screen2);Reset(TextSearchBox1),
 TextSearchBox1.Text = "Screen3",
 Navigate(Screen3);Reset(TextSearchBox1),
 ...
 TextSearchBox1.Text = "Screen8",
 Navigate(Screen8);Reset(TextSearchBox1),
 TextSearchBox1.Text = "Screen9",
 Navigate(Screen9);Reset(TextSearchBox1),
 TextSearchBox1.Text = "Screen10",
 Navigate(Screen10);Reset(TextSearchBox1),
 ...
)

    set the Visible property of the Timer control to following:

    false

    Please consider take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

     

    Best regards,
