Power Apps formula for displaying created user and other users the form is assigned to

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have a Canvas App form, linked to SPO list.

I've got the main screen where users complete the form Section A, when the user submits the form, I'd like them to be able to view what they have submitted, so I have created a View Screen (I'm unsure how to direct users to this screen) on this view screen I have a Gallery and an Edit Form, and on the Items property of the Gallery I have set the Fx to: Filter('ListName', 'Created By'.Email = User().Email) to filter only the items the user has submitted. But I would also like the user who is specified in the 'supervisor' field to be able to view the item(s) with only 1 field editable by them the 'senior manager' field.

I'd then like the senior manager to be able to view the entire form, but only be able to edit Section B.

Furthermore I'd like a set of users to be able to view all the items regardless of who submitted them.

Can someone please advise how I achieve this?

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,
What does this sentence mean "But I would also like the user who is specified in the 'supervisor' field to be able to view the item(s) with only 1 field editable by them the 'senior manager' field."? Does the supervisor field mean the user's Manager?

1. Put code to OnStart of App to check if the user has assigned the Manager field
Set(HasManager, !IsBlankOrError(Office365Users.ManagerV2(<User ID>)))
2. Set the DisplayMode of data card to If(HasManager, DisplayMode.View,DisplayMode.Edit) , then it will in view mode if user has Manger.

Hi @v-siky-msft
What I meant by that sentence is, I have a field called Supervisor on my form, user1 completes the form and types in the supervisor name. The supervisor must be able to view the entire form Section A and Section B, but only be able to edit 1 field, this is the Manager field, which I also have on my form. There are 2 scenarios, either User1 enters both the supervisor and manager name in the seperate fields, or the supervisor enters this when his/her name is entered and an email is triggered.
I'm assuming the fx you have mentioned, is if the manager field on the users profile if complete? I'm specifically looking to allow whoever the person in the Manager field is, that individual to be able to complete Section B.
I hope that makes more sense?

@Anonymous,
oh, I see.
My suggestion is to duplicate the form, Form1 is for users and Form2 is for supervisor, because it is too complex to modify all data cards property.
At the start of the app, first to check if the login user is supervisor, and navigate to Form2 that only has one editable card.
As well as the senior manager, check the login account, then navigate Section B form.
Set OnStart property of App:

If(User().Email in 'SP list'.Supervisor, Navigate('Form2Screen'), User().Email in 'SP list'.Manager, Navigate('SectionBFormScreen'), Navigate('Form1Screen'))

Hi Thanks
So put Section A on 1 screen and Section B on another?
As I need the person who completes Section A to be able to only view Section B.
Also on the App start up i have the following fx to allow users to directly get to the completed forms, and so it can email supervisor/manager the link to the form:
Set(VarID, Value(Param("MYID")));
If(VarID <> 0, Set(VarRecord, LookUp('List', ID = VarID));Navigate(ViewScreen))
Would by having another fx that you mention work well together?
Also in you fx you mention
If(User().Email in 'SP list'.Supervisor,
But i need the form to look at DatacardValue16 to determine who the supervisor is, as the form is relying on whoever is entered as the supervisor/manager, regardless of if they have supervisor or manager in there profile in o365.

Thanks
