Hi, I'm new to power apps and as such I don't know the best solution for the requirements I was given.
Is it possible to share a form view with pre-populated fields on it to new users based on data selected from a Gallery?
I have sort of an admin view, which basically consists in a Gallery which displays many users and it has an integrated Submit button, and then I have another power app which consist in a rating form whose user who would be rated is intended to be the "Submitted" one from the Gallery view, connecting both power apps would require Power Automate which looks more complicated, the reason it must be like that is because the shared PowerApp should only be the rating form with data already on it, but I thought about integrating such form in a second screen within the Admin app, but that idea depends on whether or not it is possible share it that way.
So, is it possible to share the form view with pre-populated fields on it to new users based on data selected from a Gallery? or should I stick with the inter PowerApp model?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
You can use deep linking functionality: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/how-to/deep-linking
You can pass screen name, list item id as a query string parameter in the url and you can then share the URL. Use Param("stringParameter") function to get the data of the parameter of ScreenStart or AppStart property and navigate to that particular screen
I am not clear on what you mean by "sharing the form view with pre-populated fields".
Are you:
1) Trying to show a form with the data simply from the item selected (record) in the gallery?
2) Trying to show an existing record and have some fields changed/filled if not already?
3) Trying to show a new form with pre-populated data/defaults?
With share I mean, generating a link that would lead the receiver into the rating form screen with another logged user (the one clicking the link), and once he enters the form has pre-populated fields based on the data the first user selected from the Gallery.
Let's say Gallery view is an Admin view, the Admin selects a certain user and that user already has an email in the data table, the info of such user goes into the pre-populated fields of the rating forms, my question is that once those fields are filled after selecting them from the gallery view by the admin, can the pre-populated form be shared with another person (in this case, the one whose email is linked in the data table) and once he accesses the only thing he has access to is such pre-populated form.

Yes, so in your case you are going to provide a link that has the record information for the record of your datasource. You would simply need to look up that passed parameter and provide the resultant record for the form.
