Show hidden data card with selecting icon

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 13

I'm customizing ms form in power app. I would like to set some data cards hidden until the user click on the icon (for example plus sign). My initial thought was to initiate variable, OnVisbile use formula UpdateContext({DataCard2Visible:false}) - DataCard2 is the card that i want to hide. Then in OnSelect I wanted to add following UpdateContext({DataCard2Visible:true}). This logic however is not working. Can you please advice. Thank you

    HI @KasiaBosman ,

    You need to use a Variable (you can call it whatever you want) - to hide

    UpdateContext({varVisible: false}) 

    to show

    UpdateContext({varVisible: true}) 

    Then the Visible of the DataCard2

    varVisible

    Hi @KasiaBosman ,

     

    For your screen/page - OnVisible property - add this formula: UpdateContext({DataCard2Visibility: false});
    For the DataCard Visible property in the form - add this variable: DataCard2Visibility
    For the icon - OnSelect property - add this formula: UpdateContext({DataCard2Visibility:true})

    Your form will look like this for the first time it loads:

    Click on the icon to show the DataCard2 in the form

    The data card will be displayed as shown below:

    If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution & give it a thumbs up.

    Thanks!
