Hi, I have an app that I'm building where users can develop product specification sheets from form/dropdown selections. Then export that out to email for the vender.
The thing is, multiple departments need to weigh in on the selections and inputs (engineering, maintenances etc.).
Is there a way for PowerApps to allow a user to save an instance (say they are working on an Excavator) for another user to then load onto the app and continue with that instance?
It will handle itself, as long as edit forms default values are set to thisitem.relevant column, if that column hasnt been chosen yet you will just have the categories that are filled out showing the data put in them, and the categories that haven't will just start off blank
That's awesome and sounds like it could work with their data!, I do have one concern. Say if there's 10 categories to complete via dropdown selections, User1 does the first 5 and saves for review, when User2 loads it, it will need to show User1's saved data plus the default 5 remaining dropdowns for selection. How could I incorporate that into the solution?
Not what list, but what items from it. SO lets say on first page for example you can have a small gallery with the items set to ["Create New", "Review Submission"] then inside that two buttons and labels by them that say thisitem.value
One would send you to the create form you have and the other to a page with a vertical gallery on it
that gallery would have name of your splist on it, for now lets call it forreview
then in the gallery itself put a couple text boxes one for like item name, one for submitter etc. then you have a gallery with all items needed for verification.
clicking one you would say like Onselect= Set(verifyVar, thisitem.ID); Navigate(editpage)
then on your edit page you have same basic form as a create new except that the fields all do a lookup as their default value, something like LookUp(forreview,ID=verifyVar,columnameyouwanttoreturn)
when final person verifies it you can send it to your vendors and then removeif(forreview,ID=verifyVar) to remove it from the bank of those needing review
how would I then make that ability for the user to choose what list they load for the data?
Store all your options in a sharepoint list, then add in ability to load a template from sharepoint if they want to check out someone elses proposal instead of make their own
