how to make a canvas app responsive to model driven form

Posted on by 3

I have a pretty basic setup: a dataverse table with the column Name which stores the name given to it by the user and then the column "Nomes" which stores the automatic generated ID upon the creation of the record.
I also have this canvas app embeded on the model driven form, which i only want it to have 1 screen with 1 label saying "Hi [...]" in which the [...] is the name selected on the form.
What i want now is to go to the application itself, submit as many records as i want and whenever i select or open one of them, the canvas app on it has to display that message with the correct selected name, without actually having to select anything on the canvas app.
Right now, anything i do on the app, the canvas app only displays the same thing, so it's not responsive to the app.

I saw this:

Text = Concat(
 LookUp(
 'Patient Registrations',
 'Patient Name' = "Gene Gorg"
 ).Reason,
 Text(Value),
 "; "
)

and i think it's close to what i need, but the "gene gorg" has to be the id of the selected record on the app.
How do i manage to make the canvas app responsive to the things i do on the app itself?

    Hello, @jardas, Embedding Canvas app inside a Dataverse form will allow you to use the ModelDrivenFormIntegration Control which handle the data integration between the Host Form and the Canvas App. 

    I made this full tutorial ion how to do that:

    I have seen your video and it did help me to embed the canvas app inside the dataverse form. But it's just there, you know? For example, if I select "create" on the form, the canvas app appears in it on the main page of itself. if i select an existing record, the canvas app also displays the main page. you get my point? i can select a record on the form and select another record on the embed canvas app. and i dont want that. i want the canvas app to work directly with the form, without having to select anything on the embed canvas app
