Onboarding Tasks PowerApp Sample Template - Demo and Setup Instructions

hello @ToddBaginski  do you know if you can create a different set of task for individuals who are in differnet departments

I have seemed to get this to work if you share your Excel file from your One Drive with whoever you are adding for onboarding. If you don't know this app saves an Excel file called data.xlsx this fill keeps all your data.

Did anyone ever get this working correctly? I am trying to get it to work. I can edit it, but it does not seem to add any information when I share it with my tester. all the information that should be pulled from the Excel file is not populating on the tester end.

Hi, The app is great. but I also have a problem. as an admin everything works without any problems. When the app is opened by a normal user, after get starts I briefly receive error messages (OutlookTasks.GetTasksByFolder), I see the tasks briefly, then they disappear again. the task folders are correctly created in outlook, but the actual tasks are not saved in the task folders but under my tasks. every time I open the screen the tasks are saved in my tasks and not in the task folders. someone an idea why this could be?

Todd, I am having trouble with this Onboarding Task Template. After utilizing Power Apps and adding myself as an "APPADMIN", I can get to the "EDIT" features such as edit company name, links and such but the data does not save. I also noted that when I created it, (I created versions for testing several times, what you note in the video around 7:50 about the correlating excel table, it never asks me for that in Power apps, when I deploy it, or anything). I can only assume that this is the reason the changes are not being saved is it does not have a location to save them.

Hi Todd,

Amazing video! Helped me out greatly.

However, every time I send this to my test user, the task list would get filled with the deleted task list and the new task lists that I created. Also it goes straight to mark everything as completed.

Any ideas?

Snapshot attached.

Thanks,

Thank you for this but it's not asking me to allow and I can't see the second window you opened to prompt the task list to show on outlook email online or desktop. Help please. Thank you!

same question here.. cannot find where the xls file is stored.

Hi all,

I tried to install this really helpful feature for my company. While adapting everything as needed, I found out that the app is restoring everything back to default values, that are set in the "on start" script. That also means it is constantly writing tasks in my Outlook task folders, everytime I load the app. It would be helpful if the App recognizes, that I've already used it before and remembers all the changes I made.

Am I doing something wrong? Any hints?

Cheers

I am unable to find the Excel file reference in your video. Do you have a way to find were this is being stored?
