Let's Make a Power App (Round 3)

Written by Matt Peterson | Aug 10, 2020

 It’s time for another session of building our check-in Power App for my former school.  This is now session 3 of our series. If you are interested in all of the ins and outs of what got us to this point and you want to build the app with check out these two videos first.

In the second session, we learned how to set variables, insert galleries, and make connections to our data.

For this session, we will now make some enhancements to our first screen of the app. 

Below is a list of items we will be covering:

  1. Insert search boxes.
  2. Write code that will allow our end-user to search through all of the data of a gallery for a specific record or records.
  3. Format our gallery to be more visually appealing.
  4. Insert images saved on our local machine.
  5. Change the height of one object in our app based on the movement of a separate object in the app.

The goal of these blogs and videos is to build an app, but not do it too quickly.  I want to let the information soak in one week at a time without overwhelming anyone.  If you think the videos cover too much or not enough material for one session please email me at mpeterson@pragmaticworks.com so I can modify the future sessions or leave a comment below the video.
