Mark record in gallery as submitted

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Matt383 407

Picture1.pngHi, I have a jobcard app. When the user fills out the fields and selects the 'add record' button, it saves to a collection called KBLCollection. I then have a gallery called CollectGallery (The Items property of the gallery is KBLCollection), i have a submit button in the gallery (Submits to sharepoint list) with the onselect properties set to

Patch(KBL_App, Defaults(KBL_App),{Title: CollectGallery.Selected.Title,Date: CollectGallery.Selected.Date});
SaveData(KBLCollection,"KBLCollectKeep"), (The submit button is the black button in the gallery below)

When the user hits the submit button, I need something to show up saying that individual entry in the gallery has been submitted. Any assistance would be much appreciated

    Hi @Matt383 ,

    You could do a Notify based on the Patch working

    Set(
 varPatch,
 Patch(
 KBL_App, 
 Defaults(KBL_App),
 {
 Title: CollectGallery.Selected.Title,
 Date: CollectGallery.Selected.Date
 }
 );
 If(
 !IsBlank(varPatch.Title),
 Notify("Your entry has been submitted", NotificationType.Success);
	 Set(varPatch,Blank());
 SaveData(
 KBLCollection,
 "KBLCollectKeep"
 ),
 Notify("An Error has occurred", NotificationType.Error);
 )
)

    Hi Warren,

     

    That works 😉 Now just need to show in the gallery which entries have been submitted. I added a label in the gallery with the text property set to varPatch.Title, but shows up blank.

    Sometimes the user will have 5 jobs in the gallery and may only submit 2. So need a way to show in the gallery, which ones have been submitted.

    Hi @Matt383 ,

    varPatch.Title will only show the last record submitted, so that will not work. You need a field in CollectGallery (call it Submitted) and Patch to that as well when you submit the record (use AddColumns and set it to false)

    Patch(
 CollectGallery,
 ThisItem,
 {Submitted:true}
)

    I have added Submitted to the collection 
    e.g. Collect(KBLCollection,{Submitted: Label33.Text,Title:Employee_ED.Selected.Value})

    Then in the CollectGallery, on the onselect properties of the Submit button, i have 
    Patch(CollectGallery,ThisItem, {Submitted:true}) but is showing invalid argument.
    I also tried Patch(KBLCollection,CollectGallery,ThisItem,{Submitted:true}), still showing invalid arguments

    In regards to the (use AddColumns and set it to false), is that in the sharepoint list?.

    Hi @Matt383 ,

    Submitted needs to be a Boolean (yes/no) and exist when the collection is first initiated. 

    Collect(
 KBLCollection,
 {
 Submitted: false,
 Title:Employee_ED.Selected.Value
 }
)

    You can also use AddColumns on it (the Collection, not the list) to do it afterwards.

    Thanks Warren,

    Added to collection using, Collect(KBLCollection,{Submitted: false,Title:Employee_ED.Selected.Value})
    Then added label to gallery with text set to ThisItem.Submitted
    Then set the onselect of the submit button to Patch(KBLCollection,CollectGallery.Selected, {Submitted:true});

    Works great, thanks again

    Hi Warren, In regards to changing text or fill color. I would usually use something like
    If(ThisItem.Submitted.Value = "true",Green,Red) but getting invalid arguments. I assume i need to change the .Value to something else?
