Start Screen and Context variables

[marial16]

Hallo experts,

I am creating an app and i want to use two parameters.

The way i have been working so far and before the latest changes with the OnStart (we should not use Navigate function..)

was to use Set:

OnStart = Set(ReportScreenID,Param("ReportScreenID")

If(
!IsBlank(ReportScreenID),
Navigate(SpecificReportScreen,ScreenTransition.Cover,

{
varProcessAdd: false,
InvolvedItemsParam: Filter(
UsersCollection,
RequestID.Value = ReportScreenID
),

Navigate(Main)

)

I know that we can use an If statement in StartScreen, but what happens with Context i want to pass?

How do we write this?

Hi @marial16 ,

One of the deficiencies with the StartScreen structure - you cannot use or set Variables in it. For now, either stay with OnStart and set the Switch in Settings

or have a splash screen, start a timer when loading and put all of that OnTimerEnd

Would this workaround be better in terms of Performance?

@marial16 ,

It would obviously slow the process down to load the screen, run the timer and then load the next screen, but you could display your company logo and app name in there for presentation.
