Power Apps multi user behaviour

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi All,

 

I have built a power app linked to a sharepoint for users to add and update items from a sharepoint list. Since this app will be used by multiple users there is a possibility same item can be edited by multiple users. How will power app react to this. When i tested this there was no error and only update from one user got updated. The second user did not get any error message about the item being edited by another user.... is there a way to do this so other users know the item is being edited

    @RandyHayes  thanks for your reply.

     

    I am using the Edit form and have created a save button. I tested with an item and asked other user to edit and save while i had the item in edit mode. When i saved the form, did not notice any error message and it did not save what i updated. I am looking for the error message else since no error message is showing user might think the update got saved.   

     

    Not sure if i need to enable some setting or something.

    If two (or more) users are editing a record, the first to submit will be accepted.  After that, the other users will have an ETAG mismatch.  This means that the record has been altered since the time it was read into the session table (datasource) of the app.  

    Depending on how you are updating the record, you may or may not get an error.  If you are using an EditForm to submit the record, it will usually indicate the mismatch error.  At that point, you can Revert the record from the datasource and choose to submit again.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
