Powerapss Forms custom cards

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi Folks,

 

I am currently building more than 70 forms for my company, it is a very specific work about Pumps maintenance on the Factory's shop floor, and I need to "transform" all existing papers form in "Digital Forms".

I am using Powerapps forms and in some cases, I need to insert static images beside form fields, but I think the system does not allow us to make this type of "grid" customization in forms. Could anyone help me find a solution?

Image 1: Current paper form layout
Image 2: The layout I am trying to reach using custom cards.

There is an easy way to do this when I don't have to insert an image, just need to create the same amount of cards on the left (image area), but in this case, I can't fit the image in that space.


Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

Ricardo Carneiro

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Seems like you have a lot of work cut out.

     

    Here is an idea i played with some time ago, maybe it can help you too.

    Create Excel Tables that will be used to build your forms:

    rubin_boer_1-1612791603310.png

    Import the excel table as static data

    rubin_boer_2-1612791723939.png

    Add a gallery control which you can also drive from the static data to get the total columns and rows and build a collection based on them. in this case the columns are 6 as well as the rows.

    ClearCollect(_MainFormStruct,Sequence(txtCols * txtRows))

    Set the WrapCount of the gallery to your column count

    Add a label to the gallery and set its border width to 1

    rubin_boer_4-1612792025011.png

    set the witdh and height of the label as you need it

    fill the first two rows and first column with gray

    If(ThisItem.Value <= txtCols.Text * 2 || Mod(ThisItem.Value,txtCols.Text) = 1, LightGray, White)

    lets hide those number, set the font to transparent

    rubin_boer_6-1612792154211.png

    Add anohter label and center the text, set the text to

    LookUp(FormMeta, Cell = ThisItem.Value, Value)

    rubin_boer_7-1612792212189.png

    There you almost there

    how you store an call your image i will leave to you.

    lastly add a text with its visible = If(ThisItem.Value <= txtCols.Text * 2 || Mod(ThisItem.Value,txtCols.Text) = 1, false, true)

    and here is your form in run mode

    It takes some time to setup but once doen all the forms are easy to build.

     

    Hope you can use this or help you on path

    Many thanks, Rubin_Boer.

    It is a very interesting suggestion/Solution, I really appreciated that.

    The Forms I am building have more fields than only those I uploaded, but I think it will be a very interesting experiment to be done.

    I going to create a new form now using your suggestion, thanks.

     

    Ricardo.
