Posted on by jlivio

Hi all, I have a flow to show a PDF file in the PDF Viewer control and updating context to run the flow from a gallery, so my parameter is the Selectd."Name and Extension", runs fine

The problem is I want to display a PDF based on an INVOICE NUMBER in the document list. I´m running out of ideas, anyone have one or point me to the right direction?

Thanks

Hi @jlivio ,

Assuming your have the Invoice number in the metadata of the library, the design of an app I have may assist.

I have a gallery based on a Library (yours could be filtering the Library on the Invoice number) and I display a Thumbnail of the document in this

ThisItem.'Thumbnail ({Thumbnail})'.Large

The top icon then launches the document in the viewer.
Firstly varSite is simply the base site address then this

Set( ViewPDF, PDFView.Run( varSite, "/" & ThisItem.'Folder path' & ThisItem.'File name with extension' ) )

the Document of the view is

varPDF.pdf

and the Flow is simply this

HI, Thanks, but the list don't have the data source for the document library, only a Invoice ID and an ID, so it must be done in the Flow side, any clues?

Thanks

Hi @jlivio ,

I have not tried this, but you could use "Get file content" instead of using the path and filter for the Invoice number in the relevant metadata field

Hi, Thanks, the problem is this:

LIST 1
Document List
FileReaf
InvoiceID
LIST 2
InvoiceID
Generic List
PROBLEM
Display the document in a PDFViwer Control by using the InvoiceID in the context of LIST 2, the Data Source available is LIST 2, so you don´t have the document available from LIST 1, It means you only can do this in a FLOW filtering this InvoiceID to give you the right PDF File from LIST 1.

Looks easy but it's NOT.

Hi @jlivio ,

If you have the item you want in a gallery as I mentioned below, (but simply Filtered on InvoiceID) you can open it).
You could also do a Lookup

With( { wFile: LookUp( YourLibrary, Invoice = ThisItem.InvoiceID ) }, Set( ViewPDF, PDFView.Run( varSite, "/" & wFile.'Folder path' & wFile.'File name with extension' ) )
