Portal Multi-step form - Add a delay to a step

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Dear all,

 

I'm building a citizen participation tool that queries citizens for locations, e.g. where do you want a new bench in your neighbourhood. We want a user to be unique, but we don't want to capture too much information. A simple SMS authentication is all we need. To that end I created a multi-step form. Step 1 asks for the mobile phone number. After submission a cloud flow is activated that generates a token. That token is sent through ClickSend to the mobile phone number. In step 2 the user fills in the received token. A new cloud flow compares the values and sets an option value to either "validated" or "refused". In step 3 I use a condition that checks if the option value is validated. Because the step is reached faster than the execution of the cloud flow, I want to introduce a delay.

What approach should I take to introduce that delay? Can I use a cloud flow to add a delay between step 2 and 3? And how could I implement this?

 

I'm a student and new to the power platform.

 

Kind regards,

 

Denis

    Fixed it by adding another page before the condition, and a simple javascript delay function.

    You can't delay between the actual steps.  All you could do would be to disable the button on the step and only enable it after a period of time using JavaScript/JQuery or after validation is successful (e.g. run validation off a custom button, an when success enable the submit/next button).
