Push Power Apps attachment to Sharepoint List Photo Upload

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

So what I am trying to do is to allow people to submit information and then attach a photo that goes to our organization so we can view their info on the back end and follow up.

 

It would be much easier if Forms allowed outside users to upload attachments, but that's another story. So we decided to make a Power App and people can submit their info from there and it goes to the Sharepoint List (Microsoft List now?) for us to view.

 

We want to be able to view it as a gallery with the photo being featured. But in Power Apps there is only an "attachment" form field and yes, it submits it to the Sharepoint List, but it creates an attachment where you can't view the photo as an image in Gallery mode.


Is it possible to show the attachment in Sharepoint Lists as an image or is there a way to submit an image in Power Apps that pushed to our Sharepoint List as an image specifically and not an "attachment"? Thanks!

    Basically you need to set up a document library to hold the images and then when you save to the library, you will just add the record number or another unique identifier to that record so you can relate it to the report that was filed.

    Then when you retrieve the data from the report you will look through the document library and display those items that relate to the report. Shane Young has put together a video:

    Hi @JosephW ,

     

    We can view the photos in the gallery.

    Set the image property to:

    First(ThisItem.Attachments).Value
