Hi all,
The reason why your formatting is not kept by the Meeting Capture app is because the note taking control is for plain text. That being said, there is a solution currently in preview, which you all can add to your Meeting Capture apps in ~5 minutes. On the Insert > Text menu, we have a Rich Text Editor which can be substituted for the Plain Text Input control used by the Meeting Capture app today.
Before getting started, I'd recommend redownloading the Meeting Capture app to acquire the most up to date copy (as it's the one I worked with in the steps below).
To add this to your app:
- Navigate to the HomeScreen and open the HomeNotes group.
- Delete the NotesInput control within that group,
- Insert the rich text editor onto the screen.
- To align it's size & location with the previous input control, set it's (X, Y, Width, Height) to be (434, 220, 430, 508) respectively.
- Rename the rich text editor to NotesInput (same name as the previous input control), and regroup it with the controls in the HomeNotes group
- be sure that the HomeNotes group is in the same ordering on the tree view (to the left of the canvas) as it was previously,
- You may have to go to Home > Reorder > Send backward to properly reorder
- be sure that the HomeNotes group is in the same ordering on the tree view (to the left of the canvas) as it was previously,
- Navigate to the ConfirmScreen and select it's OnVisible property
- On the 15th line where it says
{Field: "{MeetingNotes}", Data: NotesInput.Text}change that to say{Field: "{MeetingNotes}", Data: NotesInput.HtmlText}
Once all that is done, the app should be in working order with a rich text editor.
