Trace the usage of buttons

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Amr_Mostafa 21

Hello,

Is there any way to trace the history of any button inside powerapps? how many times the users clicked on the button and the date?

for example if there is a link between powerapps and excel file that showing:

- Button "X" has been used on 2nd of Feb by user "User1"

- Button "Y" has been used on 3rd of Feb by user "User3"

or any other way to trace the usage history of the app?

thanks,

    You can use SharePoint List to store button click details.

    Thanks for your reply, it is working now but I have two questions:

    1. Could it read the name of the button not the text of the button,

    2. It is not working when I have Navigate() for the same button, do you have a solution for this,

     

    thanks again,

    1. Could it read the name of the button not the text of the button.

    - Unfortunately there's no way to get the control name of the button, you need to hardcode it.

    2. It is not working when I have Navigate() for the same button, do you have a solution for this,
    - Please share a screenshot of your code.
