Best Practices Question

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello All,

 

I have an app that manages services in our bank, and it tracks each service where it is, and if its due or not.

 

I have about 600 users working on the same time.

 

My first question:

 

Should I show the services in the gallery directly from the data source or collection?

 

Second question:

 

When a person updates a service, I do a patch function, should I patch the collection? Or the data source? Or all of them togheter?

 

Third question:

 

When two people update at the same time, how can I stop the second person from updating the same service.

Like if the first person updates it, the other person gets an error that this service iis already updated, please refresh data sources

 

And to continue to this question, how can I apply it to bulk patching or updating.

 

Thanks again

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Please first take a look at the following page for more details:

    Implementing Offline Capability in Your App

     

    If here multiple users would be connected, then I will not suggest using collection.

     

    For second quesiton, just patch to the data source directly.

     

    For your last question, if the update request has been send to the data source, then please make sure the data source could handle the request at the same time.

     

    For bulk updating, see:

    How to bulk update records in PowerApps

     

    Regards,

    Michael
