Form: filter/levels to the form; user can use a control to show more rows to fill

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello everyone, I have yet more questions 😛

In my Excel file, imported from a Project Gantt chart, I will have a list of tasks with hierarchy, so to speak:

Project - Task - Sub task - Sub subtask

That would be the order in hierarchy. In Project, "Execution" (in following table) would have a (+) square to open and see elements on it or (-) to minimize, so to speak.

ProjectTaskSub taskSub subtask
LPApprove  
 ExecutionSoil Mechanic 
  Land buyingbuyer
   titles
   alcohol
   buyout
  River project 

What I want to ask is, in the form the user would use to add new project, task, sub task or sub subtask, is it possible to make it so the user see only those that need filling? for example, if it is only project-task-sub task, but no sub subtask, the user wouldn't see the option to fill that field in the form. A visual example, kinda, would be:

  • If only using up to 'task':

formProject1.png

  • Need additional level to subtask:

formProject2.png

  • Need a third level/last hierarchy:

formProject3.png

Kinda like that, like, having a control in the [+] button that would add the extra level and also show the % progress of that one, so two things I guess. Or, perhaps, when "adding" (using button) it shows up? Well, ideas like that. Question is, then, is this possible in the PowerApps form?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Do you want the form can be display as you show in  hierarchy, and if you click the “+”, the hierarchy can add?

    I think you can try to use updatecontext function,you can try the following workaround, I test as next:

    Add one icon”+”, and rename it as icon_add test, Icon_add test.OnSelect: UpdateContext( { test: test + 1} )

    Add one button and rename it Reset and Reset.OnSelect: UpdateContext( { test: 0 } )

    Project_DataCard2.Visible: test>=1

    Task_DataCard1.Visible: test>=2

    Sub task_DataCard1.Visible:test>=3

    Sub subtask_DataCard2.Visible:test>=4

    Hope this can be helpful.

    Best Regards.

    Take a look at the discussion we are having in the other thread. about GroupBy.  I believe this will also help you with this situation. 

    See if it does and if not...post back!

    Thank you both for your replies. The method posted did work however what I also did was follow the answer here:

    https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Flow/Make-field-visible-depended-on-other-field-Powerapps/td-p/51876

    By using a slider button which, if enabled, will show fields, is disabled, hides them.
