Deep Linking without Form? Is it possible?

Posted on by Feenix

Let me start off by saying that I have followed Reza's tutorial for Deep Linking. Great tutorial.

I have successfully been able to get most of what his video calls out to work as far as getting the linking to work with the linking to the specific screen. I have a screen called "EditBQITScreen". This screen is normally accessed from inside a Gallery from another page. The gallery has "Set(vRecordBQIT, ThisItem);Navigate(EditBQITScreen,Fade)" when clicking to take you to the EditBQITScreen.

Inside the EditBQITScreen, I have several text input boxes. these text fields are "vRecordBQIT.'Requester Name'" as an example.

When viewing this page, everything works. If i do the tutorial from Reza, it doesnt work. Im guessing because Im not using forms.

Can i get this sheet to load the "vRecordBQIT" values from the sharepoint list without using a form? The sheet looks 10X better without the form.

Let's suppose that you follow the deep linking instructions from the Power Apps documentation.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/how-to/deep-linking

To make this work without a form, you would adapt "Enable deep link to a screen" > Step 3 to set vRecordBQIT in the OnStart property like so:

If(Not(IsBlank(Param("YourParamId"))), Set(vRecordBQIT, LookUp(YourSharePointList, YourID=Param("YourParamId")) ) );

Thanks for the reply. Currently, this is what the OnStart looks like...

It wasn't passing the ID from the sharepoint list, so I thought maybe I was doing something wrong.

maybe the "YourParamId" is what needs to change in my example to something other than ID?

In the Onstart, I have:

In the StartScreen, I have:

On the Sheets OnVisible, I have:

And on the Text Input box, I have:

I have changed everything several times and cant get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Feenix

Just to confirm, the web address URL that you've constructed passes the ID value in a paramater called BQITID?
