Avoid Reset Global Variable

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee
Hello All,

I make the powerapps screen with GetStarted button on Welcome Screen, once Get Started pressed, this will set the Global Variable value to clicked (this variable will hiding the Get Started button).

But if user closed PowerApps and Re-Open it, this Global Variable reset to default value. Is it possible to avoid reset this variable on Re-Open the Apps?

My goal is to make this Get Started button only available for user who first time using the Application, and hide this for returning user.

Thanks

    If they close the app then everything will re-initialize.  You would need to store the state of the button outside the app for each user in some data source to be able to re-initialize it when the app is restarted.
