Hello!

I am needing help with the survey functionality of power apps. I built an app from scratch that looks like this:

I am trying to figure out how to set up a Microsoft list that will record responses anytime someone clicks on one of the icon smiley faces. The app is going to live on our SharePoint company landing page. Any ideas on how to do this?

Hi JZ-13080142-0,

That sounds like a great project! You can set up a Microsoft List to record responses when someone clicks on a smiley face icon in your Power Apps survey. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

- Create a Microsoft List:
- Go to your SharePoint site.
- Click on New > List.
- Create a new list with columns to store the survey responses, such as User, Response, Timestamp, etc.
- Set Up Power Apps:
- Open Power Apps and create a new app or edit your existing app.
- Add a gallery or buttons for the smiley faces.
- Use the OnSelect property of each smiley face to capture the response and save it to the Microsoft List.
- Connect to Microsoft List:
- In Power Apps, go to Data > Add Dataand select your Microsoft List.
- Use the Patch function to save the responses to the list.

Here’s an example of how you can use the Patch function to save a response:

Patch(

YourListName,

Defaults(YourListName),

{

Title: User().FullName,

Response: "Happy", // or "Neutral", "Sad" based on the smiley face clicked

Timestamp: Now()

}

);

- Embed the App in SharePoint:
- Go to your SharePoint site and edit the page where you want to embed the app.
- Add a Power Apps web part and select your app.

This setup will allow you to record responses in your Microsoft List whenever someone clicks on a smiley face in your Power Apps survey.
