Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I'm trying to build a functionality that can set the Variable to true once click on Approve button on UI, but after refreshing the application, variables get reset and the Approved icon got removed. I want to fix the icons once clicked on the "Approve" button. attaching a screenshot for the same.

Can anyone please help?

You want that check box to stay with the item - correct? It looks like you need to add a field to your database. A collection can be saved from a previous session on that device, but can't be shared from other users. The SaveData and LoadData functions will allow you to save collections on the device and re-use them.

Hi @Anonymous ,

On Click on Button, you are setting the variable that is fine.

I am not sure how to are doing and what is your business requirements,

On gallery is not possible this variable to Update .

So you can use below approach ,

Step 1 : Select the Screen and Set the OnVisible Properties Like below.

ClearCollect(GalColl,AddColumns(ApproverList,"IsApproved",false))

Step 2: Now Set the Icon Visible Property Like below.

Step 3 . Now to Add the Patch Code to Update The Collection.

Patch(GalColl,ThisItem,{IsApproved:true});

Note - Use this Collection as Data source in Gallery Like Below -

Thanks,
Vijay

@VijayTailor

Thank for your response, but here I'm not using these symbols from gallery items, I have put explicit symbols in front of each row and enabling the visible property for them by clicking on the Approve button, is there any way to save the variable values permanently once approved so even after refresh it will show the Check Symbol.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Yes, Possible,

you can use the Patch Code directly to update the approved status of the source.

if you are using a gallery then no need to explicitly add an icon or button for all the gallery have the capability once you drag in the first row then automatically the same button is populated for all the row, the same thing I mentioned in my previous reply.
You can use code like below to update value directly into source -
Patch(SourceName,ThisItem,{IsApproved:true}); //This you can use in gallry button.
Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous

>> is there any way to save the variable values permanently once approved so even after refresh it will show the Check Symbol.

As the others have said, the lifetime of a variable exists only for the duration of a session.

If you want to persist your variable values between sessions, you would have to save thoses values to your underlying data store as @VijayTailor suggests, or to persist those values with the SaveData and LoadData function as @BrianS suggests

The benefit of the SaveData technique is that it will save the variables on the per user/device basis, if that is what you require.
