Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

I am creating an offline app. I have one feedback form and based on the number of times app open I want to show that feedback form.

For instance- If the user is opening app for the 10th time then it should show the feedback form.

How can I achieve that? Is there any inbuilt function which tracks that?

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

For this Requirement.
you can consider the below approach.

Create a Column where you Storing your Data.
Like Below
AppUsedCount =0

and On App -> OnStart Properties can Increase the value by +1
and Use below condition for the display Feedback form
//Get the Count and decide the Form need to display or not Set(NeedtoDisplayFeedbackForm,if(AppUsedCount>=10,true),false);

Add the Feedback form on which screen you want.
And Set the Visible properties for the form is - NeedtoDisplayFeedbackForm.

That all 🙂

Hi,

if you don't want to touch the Datasource then you can achieve this functionality by using Excel DataSource Online/Import from Excel. Connector.

That file Only contains the App the UserEmail and AppUserCount Field.

@Anonymous

Who are the users of this functionality? I am assuming the users are going to use a device but not the browser for Offline capability.

As you are designing your app for Offline and Online usage, you can use LoadData() and SaveData() functions to achieve the desired result.

On App Start, call the function LoadData for a collection colAppOpenCount. If the collection is empty, then collect the timestamp into it and call SaveData() to save it in the local cache of the device.

When you open the app next time, read from the cache with LoadData function and check collect count value. If it reaches 10, then show the feedback form. With this approach, you will also have the Time Stamp of the user when he opened the app every time.

Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/offline-apps#:~:text=When%20you%20build%20a%20canvas,basic%20data%20storage%20when%20offline.

Note: The LoadData and SaveData functions might show an error in Power Apps Studio because browsers don't support them. However, they'll perform normally after you deploy this app to a device.

Hi @Anonymous ,

It simply gives the specific condition as if the timestamp count is equal to 11 then only display the form.

then the form is displayed always when the count is 11. ,
collection=10 || collection=15

Another point as per my understanding - if the user does not field the feedback form and again you want to display the form then use OR condition like timestamp count is equal to 11 or equal 15 then only display the form.
