Dynamic Screen Name - Use Sharepoint List

Posted on by bernabasket

Hi Community,

I'm wondering if there is a hack for the following:

Have a map between Screen object and some ID (so that I can navigate between screens dinamically) and
This map would need to be fed by some Sharepoint List

Example of what I want to avoid:

// This line of code creates a Collection with column "templateid" and screen control object
ClearCollect(screenMapping,{templateid: 1, templatescreen: Model1},{templateid: 2, templatescreen: Model2})

I would like to have a Sharepoint list with, lets say, two columns, "templateid" and screen control, replacing the need of having the above hardcoded.

Would that be possible?

Thanks,

Bernardo

No, you cannot reference controls indirectly. They must be defined in the app and cannot be replaced with text references.

To work with this, you can use the Switch (or other) function to produce the "map" between text and control.

Example:

Switch(yourTextValue, "control1", control1, "control2", control2, ...etc... )

I hope this is helpful for you.
