Can we repeat Gallery based on the number of records

[mehardikdave]

Hi Team,

@CarlosFigueira: I read a few of your post so thought to tag you.

I have reached a level that I was supposed to and just a few steps to complete it. I need your expert advice here. Below are my queries.

1) The red box highlighted box is a Gallery with static numbers. How can I repeat this gallery for each of the record(s) that we have per row?

2) The labels with the name of months, is also a Gallery. Is it possible somehow to repeat it. That data is GroupBy on two field(s) ADO Engineering and Discovery.

Hi @gabibalaban 

Apologize for the late reply.

I really appreciate your detailed explanation which helped me to move much further.

Can I please have a bit more help here? 

I wanted to show some kind of timelines that a particular activity shall span for a particular month, I somehow managed to make it static as below using the Sequence() function within a Gallery. But this is static, so not useful.

To achieve the above scenario I tried to place a gallery(Timelines_Gallery) within a gallery(Template_Data_Gallery in this case), but the platform does not allow to do so. The new gallery gets created at the parent level (within the Parent_Gallery)In the below image, Template_Data_Gallery is the one that displays the data from the data source.

If somehow I am able to do it, then I shall be in a position to showcase the timelines of each activity at runtime.

Appreciate your help.

@mehardikdave ,

I don’t think that you need a supplementary gallery to achieve you scope. Preferably is to use the visible property of the month labels to be shown/hidden based on the value versus the start date and end date.

month(thisitem.start date)>=value(label...)

Well, in that case, I need to have 12 extra columns in my table that represent a month, and on the form, I need to place 12 labels, and then it goes ahead. To be honest, I am not that excited about this approach.

Please let me know if you can give me some other options.

@mehardikdave ,

Yes, that correct you need to have 12 more labels in your gallery one for each month, but I don't understand why do you need 12 extra columns in your data source. You  have the start date and the end date and should be enough.

Please check my example again ...
