@toluvictor

3 ай бұрын

You actually don't need to do anything extra for the collapsible menu. Since we are using a gallery, once its items are more than its size its automatically adds scrolling. As for the compact menu, since we have made the gallery size dependent on its content, first turn on flexible height to make it fill the available space and then once your item numbers exceeds that, it would add scrolling

Top and inspiring content! Do you think it's possible to have kinda "hot editable table" in canvas apps (= doesnt require save button or open a details pane) - similar to the editable grid in model driven apps? And as far as I know, there is no way to automatically update a table when multiple people are working on it and someone updates a row?

@toluvictor

5 ай бұрын

Yes this is possible. In the gallery, you simply use input controls like text inputs or combo box etc. And then in the OnChange property, you simply write a patch function to update that column for that row in the data source. As for the automatic updates, you can use a timer control that refreshes the data source based on your set interval. However its worth it to note that this method will make multiple call to the data source

Menu content is in the "Named Formulas" property on AppStart like yours. Do you know what the problem can be? I have enabled "Access app scope" on the component.

@toluvictor

3 ай бұрын

Hi, not sure what might cause this for your but check the positional values of the menu items. Sometimes the positional values are not in sync. For example the "X" property value in the formula bar at the top is different from the "X" property value in the properties panel on the right. In some cases, the formula bar value might be 40 while the value in the properties panel is 0. The formula bar value carries higher priority, so in those case 40 will be the X value hereby shifting your control to the right and hence make it not visible in play mode. To resolve this change the properties panel value to any other number and then change it back to your desired value. That should sync up the values

@toluvictor

4 ай бұрын

You actually only need a few small changes. 1. Setup your user role variable in the Formulas or OnStart property. This is the variable you will query to know the logged in user's role 2. Add a custom property to the component to get thus user role 3. Add a new column to the menu content "MenuRole". It will be an array variable. An example would be ["Admin","Sales","HR"]. Add in any applicable roles for that menu item 4. Modify the menu gallery by adding a filter to check if the logged in user's role (which is a custom property), is IN "MenuRole". This would then only show menu items for the current role

First check if the menu items show on the component page to be sure there is nothing wrong with your component build. Then after initializing the menu content make sure to add it to your component's custom property. Also make sure the width and height fits its parent container, because part of the side menu might be cut out if its bigger
