Time Clock with multiple users, same Microsoft Email Account

Posted on by 5

I was wondering if you could help me. I am really hoping you can give me some insight. I am working on a canvas App. I work for Walmart Warehouse in Olive Branch, MS. I am trying to create an app for the pickers that allows multiple users to grab a cart, go to the mobile station that everyone will be using off of the same 365 account, Click Start Pick, and when they return, click End Pick, while the time spent with the cart is automatically calculated back to the SharePoint List. I got stuck somewhere and now I am lost. I wanted to use the Associate number as the unique identifier, but that didn't work. and I was originally using the patch tool to have both buttons working, but the problem I encountered is that multiple users will be using the app back to back, and it was all going under the same record. The upper management is starting to lose faith in me lol.. but I really want to solve this problem for myself. My question is how do i go back and update the records that are still active and match with the Associate number of the person who is at the mobile station? 

 

My start button: Set(varNewItem, Patch(PickListTracker, Defaults(PickListTracker),{ Title: User().Email, CartSize:DataCardValue4.Selected, Units: Value(DataCardValue2.Text), CartNumber: Text (DataCardValue3.Text), Associate: Text(DataCardValue1.Text), StartTime: Now(), ActiveSession: true}))

 

My End Button: Set(varNewItem, Patch(PickListTracker, LookUp(PickListTracker, varNewItem.ID = ID), {EndTime: Now(), TimeSpent: DateDiff(varNewItem.StartTime, Now(), TimeUnit.Minutes), ActiveSession:false}))

    Hi Rashema, there is a number of ways you could do this and I've done similar based timer application in the past. Id recommend watching my session at the Collab365 Academy, where I create a clock in and clock out system using 2 buttons and a timer. This should solve what you are looking for after applying it to your scenario. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwRF9S-PPnM

    I'd love to check out your solution and discuss in more detail. Come and speak to me in the Collab365 Academy - https://members.collab365.com/home

    Hi Conner, this is actually the video that I was using to build. The thing is, the people using the app wont all have the microsoft 365 email account. they woud be using the managers account. but How do I use the associate number as the unique identifier?

    A way around this could be to use a custom user list that has a list of associate numbers against each user then you would be able to query against it. This way the email address used to use the app would become irrelevant.
