Powerapps offline

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

I have made an application for powerapps offline. The apps stores the data into collection and next time when user opens the app in mobile,  based on condition the data gets inserted into data source irrespective of the connection status. So whether the user is online or offline the app behaves same. I haven't patched data directly to data source because of some condition. And there is frequent on-off of internet. 

Now, I want to insert the data into data source within one hour after the data is stored into collection.
The problem is with recent app is - suppose a user inserts data today and opens the app tomorrow so data will get inserts tomorrow. 

I have though of using power automate but then for that to trigger we have to open powerapps. So it will the same situation again.   

Any suggestions to solve this?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Do you want to create your canvas app as a Offline app?

    Have you tried the SaveData function to save the stored the collection data into your local device (cache the data into the mobile device).

     

    Please check and see if the following blog would help in your scenario:

    https://powerapps.microsoft.com/de-de/blog/build-offline-apps-with-new-powerapps-capabilities/

     

    If you want the stored collection data to be loaded into your canvas app when you open your canvas app next day, you need to use the SaveData function to cache your collection data into your local device:

    SaveData(YourCollection, "CachedData")

    Then when you re-load your canvas app, you could use the LoadData function to load the cache data into a collection again:

    LoadData(YourCollection, "CachedData", true)

     

    SaveData function, LoadData function

     

    Please consider try above solution, then check if the issue is solved.
