Refresh Data Table

Posted on by Aethyta

Is there a way I could add a timer or delay Refresh()? I'm currently working on an app that allows user to upload documents on SharePoint List. Then display the uploaded documents on a data table.

The Upload button OnSelect has the following formula:

UploadToRedFolderLib2.Run(_myID,{file:{name:AddMediaButton3.FileName, contentBytes:AddMediaButton3.Media}}); Reset(AddMediaButton3); Refresh(DocLib)

The DataTable Items property has the following formula:

Filter(DocLib, TrackingNum = _myID)

The Refresh() only pulls existing documents, it does not include the newly uploaded document. I know I can create a separate button with Refresh(DocLib) but I rather use this once I've exhausted all posibilities.

You can add a timer control to your application and start it in the same OnSelect property using a variable. Then, execute your Refresh() function using the OnTimerEnd property of the timer.

The Timer Start property would be equal to: varStartTimer
The Timer OnTimerEnd property will be equal to: Refresh(datasource)
The Timer Duration property will be equal to the time you want to wait for the datasource to refresh. Default is 60 seconds.

For example with your formula:
UploadToRedFolderLib2.Run(_myID,{file:{name:AddMediaButton3.FileName, contentBytes:AddMediaButton3.Media}}); Reset(AddMediaButton3);
Set(varStartTimer,true);
Then add the timer with the properties mentioned above - you can also set the timer's visibility to false so it will not appear in the application.

It isn't all in one formula as you seem to have desired, however, this will not require the user to click another button for a refresh of the datasource.
