Return to screen after set time

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Jap11 453

Hello,

 

Is it possible to all to have a power app return to say the HomeScreen if another screen hasn't been interacted with for say 10 minutes?

 

The idea is to display a power app on a touch screen in the office however if/when there has not been any interaction for a set time, it will return back to the homescreen.

 

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

    Im not sure how to do the 'if it hasnt been interacted with' part but you could def use a timer control that navigates back to the first page after 10 minutes. Add a timer to each page that does this and it starts when the page is loaded. Unless someone would be on the same page for 10 min at a time this should work.

     

    If you wanted to reset the timer every time they clicked a button or touched the screen you could just build in the timer reset functionality for each page timer to all the controls on that page. Not sure what you setup is or how your app works so without knowing more I'm not sure how I can advise further than this basic idea.
