App Screen View/Navigate Count Property

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 98

Hello,

 

I wanted to see if there was a way to quantify the number of times a specific screen in the app has been viewed/navigated each session? My app has a tabbed browser style screen navigation in that the user clicks whichever tab they want to accomplish whichever task they need to (to view customer sites and perform actions related to those sites, click the Sites tab; to view building materials properties, pricing, start a project BOM, click the Materials tab, etc.). Initially my app splash screen would refresh (with visual indication) all of the app data connections, but the time to refresh all the connections and navigate to the home screen was horrendously unacceptable. My current approach is to refresh the data connections (with visual indication) relevant to each tab (screen) as the tab is selected. This dramatically improves home screen load time, however a user will frequently need to switch back (from a different tab) to a tab they were previously on, and as such, the data connection for that screen is refreshed. As our source data is not being updated frequently enough and the user will really only need the data refreshed each time they open the app, is there a way to, say, for a tab's (button's) OnSelect property to be:

 

If(ScreenViewCount('TargetScreen')<1, Refresh('ScreenSource(s)'); Navigate('TargetScreen'), Navigate('TargetScreen'))

 

I can't seem to find such a property offhand, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything?

Thank you for your time

    @eka24, THANK YOU! This video was immeasurably helpful and there is no way I would have been able to find the content of this video otherwise. I've never saved a YouTube video since YouTube came out, but I have saved this one.
