Power Apps Ideas

SumitKanchan · ‎07-05-2018

Since we are integrating the PowerApp with the FLOWS, many times we don't have the text and need to send the JSON to the PowerApp which can be directly binded to the datatTable. This will increase in the handling of the business logic across multiple applications to bring in the single PowerApp form with the help of FLOWS

I’d like the ability to display and manipulate approvals directly from within my app...gallery seems the best fit to me. This is especially useful for complex workflow processes...otherwise a user is doing there work in power apps and the has to go to a completely different screen to manage approvals or task status.

Issue Currently, when you want to run a flow from a button it deletes the entire contents of the button's OnSelect method. If you have other code you would like to run in the OnSelect, it will be removed and replaced with only the method from your flow. Solution When adding a flow to a button, add the method from the flow to the beginning or end of the OnSelect method instead of removing everything and replacing it with the method.

It seems obviouse that a user would who creates a powerapp that has embedded flows, would also want the flows to function in the app... More generally, all shared app resources should be shared when the app is shared. It should give the user the ability to use the app resources by default, but not give the user the ability to edit any of these shared resources.

I am seeing the subject error at least once a day, and it's wasting a lot of my time because i usually resort to rewriting Flows with the same functionality just to avoid the error. I don't mind handling errors, i just need information about the error's etiology. so give us the equivalent of the Errors window in visual studio, please.

My team's environment currently has 23 flows. When editing a PowerApp, the list of flows only shows about 11½ of these. Of course, the flow I need is not one of the 11½ displayed. It'd be great if the list of flows had a scrollwheel and a search box.

Hello, I was asking in the support forum that I would like to know if there is a way to know the status of a Flow that was called from Powerapps, even status could be retrieve information using a Flow could help as well. This idea came because I am exporting an Excel from Powerapps using Microsoft Flows and I want that the application know if the excel sent correctly for display an error message or not. Regards,

My organization currently has Win 7 OS and unfortunately PowerApp desktop version is not supported (as it only runs on Win 10). I have been very happy to use the Web Studio. However, you are not able to implement Flows using the web studio and it has slowed down our PowerApp development. Would be very nice if adding flows could be implemented into Web Studio. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I've been playing around with PowerApps and Flow and I have to admit, they are slowly growing on me. My primary objective is to test first hand and see if PowerApps and Flow can replace InfoPath Designer and SharePoint Designer. PowerApps form still has some ways to go but Flow is really impressive. Take a look at this POC I built. Stay tuned for the TechNet Wiki article I'm finishing up.SharePoint integration with PowerApps and Flow video Let me know if you have any questions.

1. ability to use sharepoint list views while creating screens(this is important for many scenarios-5k Limit etc. and many more) 2. ability to auto create powerapp screen controls automatically based on list column type(otherwise it again goes back to sharepoint developer to modify app)- this looks in plan I believe 3. ability to have some kind of grid for easy editing(basic grid) 4. ability to use same app across Ipad and Iphone(I see 2 options to create either Iphone or Ipad version- one version to work for all devices or ability to export Iphone app into Ipad app) 5. azure functions/ javascript/jquery support(I do see html control in powerapps- have not tried <script>alert("hello world!");</script> 6. paging for home page listing(gallery)- without this no one can create commercial large data app 7. built in templates based on sharepoint online lists 8. Not sure how single sign on behaviour works under powerapps 9. easy error logs for production level app support 10. ability to export screen data easily to excel or word or pdf 11. logicflows email formatting(right now this requires html developer to edit email message(next line does not work, business analysts can not create simple logic flows to send emails because email formatting is not available-need to be done by HTML developer as of now (for example email formats only if done like Dear User, </br> Please submit below<,/br>) 12. sendemail with attachments(zapier has it)- this point in flow now worked for me so please ignore this point... 13. allow flow to be attached to future common data model(to eliminate need of using 5k limited sp List-) 14 allow audience targetting for fields(show hide based on some rule) 15. add and or condition steps in flow(as of now I can only set single condition) for example if from username contains abc or from contains bcd or. 16. make new common data model available in powerBI and flows plus powerapps.
