advanced forms tabs clickable?

[lira-toh]

is it possible to make advanced forms tabs clickable?

I don't want the users to always click the next and previous button to navigate to their desired tabs.

I have an advanced form on view details page (no editing users just view data)

please advice experts

Hello @lira-toh.

There is no simple way to do this by configuration with advanced forms. Whenever I need this type of user experience I create custom navigation using HTML and JS with liquid. You could also create a script that makes the tabs clickable, but that wouldn't be very good for accessibility. 

I made a blog post for you that describes how I usually create forms with clickable tabs using basic forms and pages: https://ulrikke.akerbak.com/2021/10/20/clickable-tabs-navigation-for-power-apps-portals/

Hope it helps. 

All the best, Ulrikke

@UlrikkeAkerbæk  i found out wat the problem was, on my basic form i was using the id as record source type, i changed to "record associated to current user" and now all my forms are retrieving data.

Can you provide  a sample code snippet of how to do this? Where would you paste the code in powerapps?
