6Greetings from Scotland
Citizen Developer here with some lame questions.
I want a very simple Power App UI.
It’s for creating Rich Text Executive Reporting for Projects/PMO. (all pulled into Power BI)
Use Case: As a Project Manager you will supply an executive updates into the Power App on a weekly basis.
They Ke thing here is the Input needs to be in rich text format, so bullets, hyperlinks, bold text, colored text
So imagine the Power App UI looks something like so with the main function to be able to create a rich text report.
The table behind this is a date-verse table.
Just for information some of the fields are below and just for context
- Date: Date of the Project Update
- Project: A lookup from elsewhere i.e strictly controlled
- Type: Used for Persona Views e.g project Manager, Programme Manager- Head of Department, Again a lookup
- Health - Drop Down for Red/Amber/Green
My key question “ Is it possible in a Canvas App to have the ability to input rich text?”
Just also note that the data will be pulled into Power BI and hopefully displayed as Rich Text.
I can do all this with a model driven app ;where the data-verse field is html. The model driven app UI is formatted as Rich Text and so the user can copy and paste. Create bullets, insert hyperlink. Have text Red/amber/green; whatever he wants.
I then use a Power BI html visualization which takes the HTML field data and displays as Rich Text.
However I don’t want to use a model driven approach as it looks terrible.
I am a citizen developer and just looking for advice.
