Deep linking to item

Posted on by LA-07111402-0

I created an app with deep linking to a specific item and screen. The database is in SharePoint. When an item is created an email is sent out to a specific person with a link to the item and proper screen.
It works great when I test it but when I have someone else test it the screen they receive states
"Getting your data" and stays stuck on that screen.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

@Lisea123
Getting your data typically shows when no Item is found in the form.

Two ideas:

#1 Make sure you shared the SharePoint list with them as well as the app.

#2 Maybe you need to confirm the user is able to see the Parameter you passed into the app for ID by putting it in a label temporarily.

Members have been added to the app and also have access to the SharePoint site.
I'm new so not certain how I would do #2.
Can you elaborate please?

How are you telling PowerApps what item to open in the Form. Please share your code.

Re: Deep linking to item

Should I change the varSelectedManager.ID in the Button OnSelect to selectedItem.ID because the Details Screen's Items properties is SelectedItem?

Re: Deep linking to item

@Lisea123could it be, that the users don’t have access to these list items?
maybe there is a special permission?
i would try it with creating a new screen with all items inside and check if your users can see all entries. I assume you have more permissions because you are site owner?

Re: Deep linking to item

Hi @max81,
Yes, users have all the permissions.
Could it be because my if formula has to many conditions?
