- 18. What is aModal Dialog? (Popup)
- 19. Modal Dialog Displayinformational messages to user Prompt user for confirmation Collect information from user in various patterns
- 20. Challenge: How isthis typically done? A plethora of controls are carefully grouped together on a screen where the popup is required Very clever formulas are hidden away in variables to determine when the controls should be visible Buttons and messages are hard coded for each use case When another popup is needed, you start all over again A fairly sized app could easily have >20 popup messages Very difficult to upgrade popup functionality in previous apps Very little opportunity to reuse code
- 21. Answer: The generic Modal Dialog Component Havea uniform design for popups across your apps Easy to add popup functionality to new or existing apps Quick to update popup functionality with new versions Consolidate business logic, rules and actions
- 22. But how does itwork? Power App button or other trigger in main app writes popup instruction into the colDialogInstructions collection Generic component reads the instruction that contains details about the popup Controls in the component reacts according to instruction and popup type Button clicks and information entered into the popup are written into the colDialogResponses collection A toggle in the main app receives the response and triggers actions based on requirements
- 23. Example • 1. Userclicks on button in main app • 2. Popup reads popup instruction from colDialogInstructions collection • 3. Toggle control writes response to main app from colDialogResponses collection
- 24.
