Creator Kit – Library Control Errors

Posted on 03/11/2023by Angelo

At the time of writing this article, when you add Library Component of Creator Kit, you may find some errors. If you don’t know what Creator Kit is, you can read my article here.

Add control to your App

Add one of Library control to your app. If you didn’t have installed Creator Kit in your environment, you can read this article to do it.

Let’s see how to use this control.

Errors

As you can see, now you have 10 errors on your app. All errors are relative to our Panel Control:

Our control should look like this:

How to fix it

To fix, you should follow these step:

Create a local copy of your control
Fix errors
Use copied control

Let’s start to create local copy. Click on Edit and then Create Copy:

Now you have local copy and you can fix errors:

In this case (But the errors will change depending on the control you have), I fixed:

Button:

If(ThisItem.ButtonType = Primary, ColorValue(Panel_2.Theme.palette.themePrimary))

If(ThisItem.ButtonType = 'Microsoft.CoreControls.Button.ButtonType'.Standard, ColorValue(Panel_2.Theme.palette.themeDark))

Font:

'Segoe UI'

Font.'Segoe UI'

Semibold

FontWeight.Semibold

Transparent

Color.Transparent

Now your control should work. You should see like this:

We can use our version of control:

Power Apps – Named Formulas

Posted on 02/16/2023by Angelo

Today , I want to explain a really cool feature, in order to improve performance of your app and make it “code” more tidier.

NB: This is Experimental Feature, as an experimental feature, do not use named formulas in production apps.

We can use App.OnStart to inizializiate variables, load data and do some operations. These actions my be cause slow starting of your application. Sometimes we use , for example hidden button to write “reusable” code.

Now , we can write formulas and reuse it in any part of our application.

Enabled Named Formulas

Firs of all, you must enable experimental feature. Click on “Settings” and enable it:

Use it

Now, you should see new property of your app, called “Formulas”. Here you can add your formula!

Here you can add your formulas. For example:

ParamID = Param("ID");
UserEmail = User().Email;

But, of course, you can add more complex formula.

Advantages

Why we should use named formulas? let’s see some advantages:

The formula’s value is always available. There is no timing dependency, no event likes App.OnStart should be executed.
Formulas can be calculated in parallel.
The formula’s value is always up to date.
The formula’s definition is immutable. As opposed to variables, the definition in App.Formulas is the only “source of truth” and the value can’t be changed somewhere else in the app.
Calculated when needed. Value are calculated when app need it so this can improve app load time.

Considerations

I hope these information can help you! Here link with additional informations.

Creator Kit – Nav Control

Posted on 01/14/2023by Angelo

Today , we’re introducing one of the menu & nav controls group of Creator Kit: “Nav Control“. Let’s see What is it and how it works. If you don’t know what Creator Kit is, you can read my article here.

Add control to your App

Before use it, you should add it to your app. If you didn’t have installed Creator Kit in your environment, you can read this article to do it.

Let’s see how to use this control.

Nav Control

You can use this control to create a navigation menu in your app. Let’s understand how can we use it. When you add it on your app, you should see something this:

We should set some properties:

Items

Create Table with these attributes:

ItemDisplayName – The Display Name of the menu item
ItemKey – The key of item (must be unique)
ItemEnabled – (Default true) Set to false to disabled
ItemVisible – (Default true) Set to false to hide
ItemIconName – The Fluent UI icon to use (here you can find icons)
ItemIconColor – The color to render the icon as (e.g. named, rgb or hex value)
ItemIconOnly – (Default false) set true to hide text label
ItemParentKey – Render the option as child item of another option
ItemExpanded – Set to false or true if the group should remain collapsed or expanded respectively.

Accourding to documentation, try to put this on Items properties:

Table(
  {
      ItemKey: "1",
      ItemDisplayName: "Home",
      ItemIconName: "Home",
      ItemIconColor: "Green"
  },
  {
      ItemKey: "2",
      ItemDisplayName: "Customer",
      ItemIconName: "People",
      ItemIconColor: "Red"
  },
  {
      ItemKey: "3",
      ItemDisplayName: "Documents",
         ItemIconName: "People",
      ItemIconColor: "Grey"
  },
  {
      ItemKey: "4",
      ItemDisplayName: "Others",
         ItemIconName: "DocumentSet",
      ItemIconColor: "Grey"
  },
  {
      ItemKey: "5",
      ItemDisplayName: "Quick Reference Guide",
      ItemParentKey: "4",
      ItemIconName: "Info",
      ItemIconColor: "Grey"
  }
)

You should see this result:

OnSelect

You can use OnSelect to get selected item and do some actions like change page. As usual, Just to understand , I show selected item display name in a label:

NavMenu.Selected.ItemDisplayName

Results:

Others useful properties are:

Theme : Property to set Json theme on controls, as you can see also in others controls of creator Kit. I usually set it when my application starts, and set it on all controls of Creator Kit who support it. You can create your theme here.
CollapseByDefault: You can set to True or False. Nav remain collapsed or expanded respectively. Individual Item level expand property is respected.

Considerations

I hope these information can help you…Here you can find official documentations on GitHub for this control.

Creator Kit – November Update

Posted on 12/17/2022by Angelo

Let’s see what news are introduced with november update of creator kit. If you don’t know what Creator Kit is, you can read my article here.

New Features

Have been introduced 2 new (in preview) components, SubwayNav and SpinButton:

SubwayNav Control

SpinButton Control

Let’s see a basic introduction to use these controls.

SubwayNav

You can use this control to show a wizard steps in our application. Let’s understand how can we use it. When you add it on your app, you should see something this:

We should set some properties:

Items

Set a Table , with these attributes:

ItemKey: Key of item
ItemLabel: A Display Name of item
ItemState: Icon of the step, it could be one of: “Current”, “Completed”, “Unsaved”, “ViewedNotCompleted”, “Error” , “WizardComplete”

Accourding to source code, try to put this on Items propertie:

Table(
    {
        ItemKey: "1",
        ItemLabel: "Step 1",
        ItemState: "Current"
    },
    {
        ItemKey: "2",
        ItemLabel: "Step 2",
        ItemState: "Completed"
    },
    {
        ItemKey: "3",
        ItemLabel: "Step 3",
        ItemState: "Unsaved"
    },
    {
        ItemKey: "4",
        ItemLabel: "Step 4",
        ItemState: "ViewedNotCompleted"
    },
    {
        ItemKey: "5",
        ItemLabel: "Step 5",
        ItemState: "Error"
    },
    {
        ItemKey: "6",
        ItemLabel: "Step 6",
        ItemState: "WizardComplete"
    }
)

You should see this result:

If you don’t want specify ItemState , you can set empty string (ItemState: “”) , and you’ll see an empty white dot.

OnSelect

You can use OnSelect to get selected item and change page to show next step of your wizard. Just to understand , in this case I saved selected step on variable (Is just an example, you can use Controlname.Selected insted):

UpdateContext({SeletectStep: Self.Selected})

And on label:

SeletectStep.ItemLabel

Results:

Other useful properties are:

Theme : Property to set Json theme on controls, as you can see also in others controls of creator Kit. I usually set it when my application starts, and set it on all controls of Creator Kit who support it.
Subway Nav State: Property to set state on entire controls. You can choose from: “None”, “Errors”, “WizardComplete”

Example of set Subway Nave state property to “WizardComplete”

SpinButton

A spin button is control to allow to add number in small steps. When you add control you should see this:

Principal properties:

Label: Usefull to show a label of control.
Suffix: To add suffix after value.
Theme: As usual, Json theme.
Min: Minimal value to set.
Max: Maximun value to set.
Step: Value to add or Subtracts.

Le’t see an example, I set these properties:

New Features for Existing Components

Creator Kit – Introduction

Posted on 12/07/2022by Angelo

Today, we’re going to speak about Creator Kit. With this fantastic tool, we have possibility to create Canvas App, with professional look & feel with “Microsoft 365” Style.

What is “Cretor Kit” ?

According to Microsoft , Creator Kit consist in a series of controls , utility and templates , created to increase developer productivity.

All controls are base on Fluent UI Framework , here official documentations.
Is included Template Starter apps , to help you to explore components.

Set Up (Manually)

Follow these Steps:

Download CreatorKit Core Solution from here.
Go to your Environment Settings and Enable “Enable the Power Apps component framework feature”

Enable Power App component Framework Feature — Enable the Power Apps component framework feature

Import Solutions: Go to your Environment and Import Solution (CreatorKit Core Solution)
Optionally, but I suggest you to do it, download CreatorKitCanvas solution and Import It in your environment. You’ll get Template

Utilization

Create new Canvas App
Click on Insert to add controls, and click on “Get more components”

Constrols List — Get more components at bottom

Now you can choose new component from Creator Kit and add them to your App.

Add new components — Controls of Creator Kit

Now you can see new control on control list under “Code components” group.

Flient Tag List component — Fluent Tag List control inside “Code components” group.

Some intresting components

Creator Kit contains around 24 components. You can start study from here. Most intresting component in my opinion are:

AutoWidthLabel is label who expand dynamically his with. You can customize his style by set this properties.

Power Apps Power Automate Power Platform

Power Platform – Environment

Posted on 11/04/2022by Angelo

Today, we’re going to speak about Environment. Where people starting to create App or Flow, usually, use Default Environment. But in order to have correct governance or our Power Platform solutions, a good idea (but is not only the one) is create more then one Environment. For Example Dev, Quality and Prod.

What is an “Environment” ?

According to Microsoft , and Environment is a a space to store and share data, app , flows. You can image it as a “Container”.

Each environment can have a single Dataverse DB (but you can create environment withoud it)
Default environment is Shared by all users, in my opinion you shouldn’t use it to develop critical app.

Environment types

Basically we can create 4 kinds of environment.

Sandbox: used for non-production environment but for developing and test. It can be reset or copy.
Production: used for permanent work. You need Power Apps license to create and manage it. It will provided with 1 GB database capacity.
Trial: used for short term testing. It will be cleaned automatically after 30 days. I usually use it to try new features. It can be create also as subscription based, and it can be conferted as production environment.
Developer: you can create a developer plan, follow this one.

Create new Environment

Go to Power Platform admin center: Power Platform admin center (microsoft.com) and click on “New”:

Now you can fill option and create your new environment

Power Apps – PDF Function

Posted on 10/21/2022by Angelo

Hello, really nice fuction under our lens today. “PDF Function”. What is this? Is an Experimental function to print Power Apps Screen as PDF.

Let’s start!

Enable functionality

First of all, you must enable this feature:

Enable PDF Function — Enable experimental feature

How can we use it?

Basically , you should call “PDF” Function and pass it information about screen to “Print” as PDF.

PDF (Screen or control name [,{Size, DPI, Margin, Orientation, ExpandContainers}])

The mandatory parameter is Screen (or control name), but you can specify Size, DPI, Margin etc.. Check documentation here.

Example

Create a form, with “print button”:

Print Screen as PDF — Print screen as PDF

Set(myPDF,JSON(PDF(Screen3))

Power Apps – Improve performance

Posted on 05/21/2022by Angelo

Hello, Today I want to explain how to improve performance of yours Canvas App. Any comments, integrations or suggestions are welcome 🙂

Cache local data

Does your data chanche during session of your app? If you reply “No”, you should store your data into local variable and get record from it, instead always ask to database.

ClearCollect(CollProject,Projects_1)

PS: Keep mind delegation problem.

ClearCollect Function more informations here.

You should also cache for user data. Example, if you you email of connected user:

User().Email

Consider:

Set(UserEmail,User().Email)

Optimize OnStart Event – Concurrent

If you create and load collection on “OnStart” event (or on visibile), consider use of Concurrent Function. People tipically write this:

ClearCollect(CollProject,Projects_1);
ClearCollect(CollManager,Manager)

In this case, formula loads each tables one at a time. If you want optimize, you should write this:

Concurrent(
ClearCollect(CollProject,Projects_1),
ClearCollect(CollManager,Manager))

Now your app fetches the tables in parallel.

Use delegations

You shouden’t retrieve all data and then filter locally. Delegate data processing to data source (If is possible). See connectors documentation to learn about delegable formula.

For SharePoint check this link.

For SQL Server:

Use Indexes Column

Simple, but people sometimes forgot to set indexes on column. For SQL Server and SharePoint, check wich columns you’re using to filter, and set Index on these columns.

How to set index on SharePoint columns.

How to set index on SQL Server and Azure SQL.

Replace Defaults() with Variable

When you want to create new record in your table you , tipically you use Default() function. When you use it, there is a call to your datasource …

Defaults(Projects_1)

And Idea is store result of this function on variable, and use it instead call Default() every time:

Set(
    newProject,
    Defaults(Projects_1)
);

Debug – Monitoring Time

If you want to understand what happens “behind the scenes”, you should start a debugging session. From Power Apps portal, select your app and click Monitor:

Now you can understand durations and respons size of your function to prevent performance issue.

Considerations

Power Apps – Patch function

Posted on 04/15/2022by Angelo

Hello, new Post Today. We’re going to understand how to use Patch function with SharePoint list. For this Example I used a “Task List” who contains text , choose , lookup and numeric columns.

Let’s see “Patch” Function.

Syntax

Patch( DataSource, BaseRecord , ChangeRecord1 ,ChangeRecord2,…)

Parameters:

Data source: the data source who contains your records. In our case is our SharePoint list.
BaseRecord : the record to update or use Defaults to create new one.
ChangeRecord(s): one or more record who contains properties to modify.

Pills:

You can use Patch tu create new record or update existing record.
Patch will update only specified properties, other will ignored.

Example

Here our task list:

Create new record:

Patch(
    Tasks,
    Defaults(Tasks),
    {
        Title: "New Task",
        Description: "Our task descriptions",
        Status: {Value: "New"},
        Project: {
            '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
            Id: 1,
            Value: "Project 1"
        },
        ProjectID:1000
    }
)

Key points:

Title and Descriptions are text field, so we should pass text value. Same for ProjectID who is Number and we must pass numeric value.
For Choose value, function expect record: {Value: “New”}
For Lookup column, we must pass record with ‘@odata.type’, Id and Value:

 '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
            Id: 1,
            Value: "Project 1"
        }

That’s all! If we want to update an existing record? You must get it and pass to patch function instead Defaults(). In this case, I used Lookup function to retrieve record to update:

LookUp(Tasks,ID=4)

So, complete code is:

Patch(
    Tasks,
    LookUp(Tasks,ID=4),
    {
        Title: "Old Task",
        Description: "Our task descriptions",
        Status: {Value: "New"},
        Project: {
            '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
            Id: 1,
            Value: "Project 1"
        },
        ProjectID:2000
    }
)

This is the official link of patch function.

I hope this post should help you.

Power Apps – Query String Parameter

Posted on 02/04/2022by Angelo

Let’s learn how can we passing parameter to our Canvas Apps.

QUERY STRING PARAMETER

In this Example, I built a simple app to write a ticket in SharePoint List. In this case , I need to pass (from “external”) a parameter to our App, to set Ticket Type. My choose are:

Infrastructure
Software
Services

To achievement this, we should use “Query String” and Param Function. Query String is part of url , used to passing data to application.

Step 1 – Get query string from App

To get query string, I used param function in OnVisible event of my Screen to get date and store it on local variable. I can’t use “On Start” event of app because UpdateContext is only available while you are currently on a screen. When the OnStart code is executed no screen has loaded yet.

Code to copy:

If(
Param(“TicketType”) <> Blank(),
UpdateContext({selectedTicketType: Param(“TicketType”)}),
UpdateContext({selectedTicketType: “Infrastructure”})
);

Step 2 – Set Default Value to control

In my Example, I used a Form with SharePooint list as Datasource . My field “Ticket Type” is Choose field. To set value as default, I set Default property of datacard, only if the form is in “insert mode”. Why? because if we are in view or in edit, we need to see data of item, not our parameter. So:

Code to copy:

If(
frmCreateTicket.Mode = FormMode.New,
{
‘@odata.type’: “#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference”,
Id: 0,
Value: selectedTicketType
},
ThisItem.TicketType
)

Finally

You should call your app with query string, in my case:

https://apps.powerapps.com/play/xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx?tenantId=xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxxx&TicketType=Services

(xxxx are guid of your app and tenant id, you see it when you run an app in browser)

Power Apps Co-Authoring

Posted on 01/21/2022by Angelo

New usefull feature! One of Power Apps limitation was we unable to build app more than people a time. Now, we can work togheter!

Enable Co-Authoring

So how can we do that? Really simple, as I usually write into my blog… “One” minute 🙂 I suppose you’re know what is source control and you know github or Azure DevOps. In this case, I’ll you Git repo on my Azure DevOps account. If you don’t know where terms, please read here.

Let’s start!

Create news project on Azure DevOps or git repo. Create or open you existing App , and go to settings, Upcoming Features and go to Experimental tab:

Enable-git-control

Then, enable “Show the Git version control setting”. Then you can see a new Section “Git version control” , click on Connect.

git-control

And configure settings:

git-repo-configuration

Then, it ask you your credentials. Keep mind, if you’re using DevOps, in password sections, you don’t put password, but you must put your personal access token. Now it create folder for you on your git repo and push your source:

powerapp-source-control

Now you can build app with your collegue! It’s experimental but cool!

Change App Owner

Posted on 06/19/2021by Angelo

Let’s see how to change Power App owner.

Actually there is no possible to change it from UI. You can only add a Co-Owner user.

Fortunately we can do it with a simple PowerShell command:

Set-AdminPowerAppOwner -AppName ‘abcd1234-abcd1234-abcd1234-abcd1234-abcd1234’ -AppOwner ‘abcd1234-abcd1234-abcd1234’ -EnvironmentName ‘Default-abcd1234-abcd1234-abcd1234’

- Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell
Find Environment Name:
- Get-PowerAppEnvironment
Find App Name
- Get-PowerApp ‘Name of your PowerApp’
Get UserID
- Personally I take it from Azure AD

Now, you can change Owner:

Add-PowerAppsAccount (It open prompt to get credentials)
Set-AdminPowerAppOwner -AppName ‘abcd1234-abcd1234-abcd1234-abcd1234-abcd1234’ -AppOwner ‘abcd1234-abcd1234-abcd1234’ -EnvironmentName ‘Default-abcd1234-abcd1234-abcd1234’

Build an app in a few minutes

Posted on 05/01/2021by Angelo

There are two ways to build an app with Power Apps. “Canvas App” (My favourite) and “Model-driven app”. In this article , let’s see how we can build an app in less then ten minutes with Canvas App, starting from data.

1. Start from data

We should start from data using one of connectors available, such as Excel, SQL Server, Dataverse or SharePoint.

For this article, I created a SharePoint list , starting from template “Travel requests”. The Idea is create a mobile app to allow users create travel requests.

2. Build App

Let’s build 🙂 Go to https://make.powerapps.com/ , login with our account, on “Start on data”, click on “SharePoint”:

Then, choose “Connect Directly” (In my case , I use a list on SharePoint Online):

Click on “Create” button, and put url of SPO Site who host our list:

Click “Go” , then choose the list, click “connect” and wait….

Now? we have our app , ready to use or customize!

Our App, is ready to use with Add, edit, delete and search functions.

I spent more time to write this article then create app 🙂

In my opinion, this is the fastest way to create a Power Apps, If you don’t like it, you can use it as starting point to learn how to build and app, or to create a poc for your users or customer.

Posted on 04/21/2021by Angelo

Customer’s often ask me: “What is Power Apps? What can I do with it?“

“Official” reply is : “Power Apps is a suite of apps, services, connectors and data platform that provides a rapid application development environment to build custom apps for your business needs. Using Power Apps, you can quickly build custom business apps that connect to your business data….” (Here official link)

In order to make it easier to understand, my reply is:

“With Power Apps, you can build applications without being developers, integrated with different services, usable through browsers, tablets and Android or iOS Smartphones.”

Does It appear cool? Yes it do 🙂

There are many other things you can do… for example the features of Mixed Reality, or AI Builder that allows you to take advantage of artificial intelligence to extract text from an image, perform sentiment analysis, process receipts etc…

I’ll write a series of tutorials that will bring you closer to this world with very little effort.

See you soon. Stay tuney!
