Multiple Lists with in one Gallery

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 284

Hello guys,

 

maybe a rookie problem, but I don't know how I can achieve that.

 

I have a sharepoint site with around 6-8 Lists filled with different Requests. Lets call them List1/List2/List3 ....

 

Everylist has a PersonColumn Employee which contains the affected Employee.

 

Having 6-8 different Gallerys sucks so I had the Idea to combine Every Request in just one Gallery.
So I had no idea how to achieve this. But I made a 'Workaround'. I filled a Dropdown with 

[ "List1","List2","List3","List4","List5","List6","List7","List8" ]

 And the Gallery Items Property is set to 

Switch(Dropdown1.Selected.Value,"List1", Filter(List1, Mitarbeiter.Email = User().Email || 'Created By'.Email = User().Email),"List2", Filter(List2, Mitarbeiter.Email = User().Email || 'Created By'.Email = User().Email), [...AND SO ON AND SO ON UNTIL...], "List8", Filter(List8, Mitarbeiter.Email = User().Email || 'Created By'.Email = User().Email))

The Problem is, the delay is high and the usability sucks.

 

Has Anyone another Idea how to achieve this, that I can combine those List in one Gallery ( Best would be with an additional column so that the Dropdwon works like a filter but it is not necessary)?

    Hi @RiccoHipp1903 ,

     

    I can imagine the delay. Just question as you are filtering all the values based on logged in values. Do you think it makes sense to filter it out in the App start with the help of concurrent function ? Than add the filtered collection directly to the gallery.

    Hi @PriyankaGeethik ,

     

    thanks for you reply. Actually I don't think it makes much sense, because people will look in the gallery right after upload the request without restarting the app and will wonder why it isnt listed there.

    Hi @RiccoHipp1903,


    I hope I have understood your request correctly... If there is a better solution directly in PowerApps I don't think so, but what you can try is to link the lists in SharePoint by the lookup function (see picture below).

    There you specify which list must inherit from which. So you can create a new list and link the other 8 lists with the one list. Then you link in PowerApps only the one new list.

     

    How the lookup in SP works exactly, you can see in the following video (I assume that you speak german, therefore in german language): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adWo1hpUH-M

     

    I hope I could help you somehow or give you an idea.
