Posted on by Dsull

My app allows used to handoff tools to another employee. On the Mytools screen they can click a button in the gallery which executes the following code;

Navigate('Tool Handoff',ScreenTransition.Cover);
Set(Handoffview,true);
Set(HandoffDamageItem,ThisItem.DENumber)

The Tool Handoff screen as a form which filters items as below;

LookUp(EquipmentV2S,DENumber=If(Handoffview,HandoffDamageItem,"99999"))

This displays the information for this tool and allows the user to select another employee to assign the tool to using a dropdown list. The Update button on this form executes the code below;

Patch(EquipmentV2S,LookUp(EquipmentV2S,DENumber=DataCardValue1.Text),{FullName:DataCardValue31.Selected});
Navigate(MyTools);
Set(Handoffview,false);

You can also navigate to the Tool Handoff screen from the main menu. I would like to allow the user to manually type a tool number into DataCardValue1 and have the Tool Handoff screen update to display the data for this tool and allow the user to select another employee to hand off the tool too.

I cant figure out how to update the displayed item based on the input from the datacard.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi @Dsull

On the main screen, I believe you have text control to user enter and a button to navigate to the handoff screen.

So Set the Onselect property of the button click to

Set(Handoffview,true); Set(HandoffDamageItem,TextcontrolName.Text) Navigate('Tool Handoff',ScreenTransition.Cover);

Note: Update the TextControlName to your control

@StalinPonnusamy Thanks for the response. The navigation from the main screen is through a menu only. There is no Textcontrol from the main page to utilise.

I would like the user to enter the DENumber on the Tool handoff page then update the item to filter for that DENumber. I have since tried adding a button for the user to select to process the input, however i cant get it to execute the filter at form level.

@StalinPonnusamy
Update on my progress, i got it to work by using your code suggestion inserted in the ONSelect function of a button that is hosted on the Tool Handoff page parent form.

Thanks for the help.
