Multiple Screen Form Control in Power Apps

[@kayfax672]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, you really are the master of variables. I particularly appreciate your style of explaining each step and function in detail, so that following the video one really understands why and which effect the functions will have, enabling the "student" to also develop it further or analyze errors that may occur. Instead of dry copy and past.

[@RezaDorrani]

Thank you for the amazing feedback. My goal has always been for folks to learn rather copy paste. I am so happy you pointed this out. Have an amazing day!

[@ds4629]

I don't much like most powerapps tutorials because there is always too much "blabla". But this one was so good and straightforward. Thank you so much!

[@RezaDorrani]

Most welcome!

[@ArohShukla]

The techniques of leveraging Set and Default in for the multiple screens at 10:34 , If Statement for the forms is valid at 14:52 , ResetForm function for all the forms at 18: 10:34 , Patch function variable for all the forms at 20:17 , Set function for Edit form at 24:51 , variables for Edit, View and New at 26:45 , using visible property for Submit button at 28:03 are simply outstanding. Thanks a ton for sharing these amazing techniques! 🙌

[@RezaDorrani]

Thank You Aroh :) You really dig deep into every video and catch all the key points. Thank you for highlighting them.

[@tenisviejos]

Soooo many hours and extra formulas, conditions and variables wasted LOL. This is the most efficient way to do multiscreen forms. Two control variables: one for default record and one for record mode. Brilliant approach. My only concern would be memory usage with big forms and lots of controls. Thanks a lot for this video. This is pure gold

[@RezaDorrani]

Thank you Fernando. Agreed, Memory usage with extremely large forms would be interesting to test.

[@ivsbanks]

Reza, I owe you a huge thanks! It was down to the wire to launch this app for my customer. It is an approval process with hidden sections based on the mode of the form. I had it working just fine but it was just too many screens and would be a nightmare to manage any updates. I incorporated your method with variables for changing the mode of the form and the approval mode/status that triggered an accompanying Flow. I ran into quite a few inexplicable errors until I watched your video. I successfully reduced my app from 14 screens to 4! It was the Patch function that was a key element. Also, I couldn't figure out why the data would remain in the form but it was the ResetForm piece that was missing from my formulas. Thank you so much!

[@RezaDorrani]

So happy to hear the video is useful and being leveraged in a real-world scenario. Thank You for sharing your scenario.

[@mahalakshmidevarajan6656]

I am new to PowerApps, whenever I have doubts about understanding concepts your videos help me a lot. I can understand all the concepts easily. I have a done my app using same concept :)

Hi Reza, thank you SO much for this tutorial. I have been struggling for weeks if not months following other tutorials trying to make a patch submit multi-page powerapp with a gallery, and nothing was helping - I didn't know what was going wrong. You explained everything so clearly and systematically that I could understand how the various fuctions work together - and your method keeps it really nice and simple even for people with little experience like myself. Now the app is working the way I wanted and I am so relieved. Thank you :)

[@RezaDorrani]

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing. I am happy to know the video is useful.

Incredible and inspirational. This answered my question about how to build, well, exactly this type of app. Not only that, I was able to follow along, build this app using an existing Dataverse table I created last week, and I have a much deeper grasp of setting/using variables. Thanks for all you are doing! I will be able to use the skills I learned here to enhance my own work and bring value to others through intelligent apps. You rock!

[@SilentInferno]

As someone new to Power Apps I just wanted to thank you for content like this. You do a really great job of explaining each detail even for noobs like me. I've done a few forms customizing the SharePoint list form, but I'm finding that it has a lot of annoying quirks that has me considering instead trying canvas apps. For example, randomly new item shows the form populated with old data instead of being blank. Randomly the form will shrink down to an unreadable size. The only problem is my users are very used to interacting directly with lists, so it will be a big adjustment.

[@RezaDorrani]

I have done plenty of videos on forms that address some of the quirks and showcase the best ways to build them. Randomly forms populated with old data typically means the code is probably not configured right. I would also recommend posting any issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

Thanks for this tutorial. You're a master! I notice that you get more fields on creations from the SP list if you choose "blank app" versus "SharePoint list" schema - at least for the list I am working with. That's the route I took.

[@RezaDorrani]

Yes, I believe there is some logic that pulls fields based on how you connect. But you can always select your fields from the properties panel of the form control.

[@Zsebtetu]

@@RezaDorrani when I open my app, it takes some time to load the collection , also on the new form it takes some time to load the options for the dropdowns. I would like to ask you, if: 1) Is this my company specific? 2) Can I do anything to speed this up? 3) is there a way to give a notification to the users when the data is loaded, like you did with the "Success" message on the submit button? Thanks in advance! And I have one filed out of the 6, which is not transferring from the app to the list. I haven't done anything to it, it is still locked. Is there a general thing I should check?

[@RezaDorrani]

@@Zsebtetu I will have to look at your App in action to know the reason for the performance issues. Options in dropdowns can be loaded based on conditions. I will recommend you post your issue on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/

[@Zsebtetu]

@@RezaDorrani Thanks, I did that. I have hidden mandatory fields based information in a previous field. But because of the If(BasicInfoForm.Valid,DisplayMode.Edit,Disabled) on the "Next" icon, I can not move to the next page. Is it possible to match the mandatoryness (nice word) and visibility of fileds? I can not navigate in the "varFormMode, FormMode.View" either, probably because of this.

Hi Reza, Well done. you have done this video so clear and made everything easy for us. Imagine, there were 12 screens. , If I need to update something at screen 8. That means, I have to go through each screen to get at the screen-8 to update it then I have to go to next and next...... to go to the last screen to click on the submit/save button. That is not a very good way to do things. I have a favourite to ask. 1-) If I want to have an update button on each screen so that I do not have to go to the last screen to click on the save/submit button for updates. 2-) I want to have the screens' links on the home screen, form there If I want to update something at the screen-8, I want to click on the sceen-8's link and then directly to land at the screen-8 and then update the screen-8 and directed to the home screen. 3-) If there was a way to have a save button on the each screen for the new Form, imagine I entered data for 6 screens then I want to save it and then come back later to complete the rest of the screens. I would appreciate if you could please find a solution and make a video about this. Thanks in advanced.

Hello Reza, I am new to power apps and everything I've learned has been from watching your videos (Thank you!). I am currently building a multi tasks form with 4 screens (Screen1, Screen2, Screen3, Screen4). I am trying set the activation order of the screens so they will "Activate" and transition with the next button depending on the combo box multiple selections. I currently have the first screen form with 3 combo boxes that allows multiple selections. Depending on my Combo box selections (which could be multiple), I would like to navigate to the respective screens in the correct order by using a "Next" button. Example: If nothing is selected on "Combo Box2" which would take you to screen2, then I would like to skip that screen and have it jump to screen 3. I have added a "Next" button on all screens, and written an "If" statement, but It only transitions to the first screen on the "If" Statement. The goal is that once all the forms in the active screens are filled the "Submit" button appears. Thanks again for all your knowledge!
