SharePoint File Link to Document Library Question
@Elvis Eyobor @Darren Neese In the solution we talked about the other day I have a Power Automate workflow that takes the submitted information and generates a PDF copy of the form. The flow then saves it to a SharePoint Document Library under Shared Documents. I was trying to create a File Sharing Link and save the link back into the main SharePoint List for the app. I am running into issues when users who are not owners on the SP site try to run the flow stating that it is forbidden to create the File Sharing Link. CoPilot seems to think that sharing is turned off in the SP Admin, which I do not have access to. The question I have is do you think it would work if I just put the path to the document into the list? Would that allow users who have edit rights on the site to be able to open and review the document? How have you handled situations like this?

@Darren Neese thanks. I set that up this morning. We'll see what happens when the users get back to the testing on Monday. I may go the service account route when it goes to production, but need it working in dev/test before I migrate it
User Roles Issues
I rolled out our Job Site Safety Analysis application for the pilot this morning and users are reporting that menu items are not available to them. The menu has the following code in the table for the items: { Name: "New", Icon: Icon.People, Image: 'Hazard-Wheel-Clean', Description: "Submit a new JSSA", ScreenToGoTo: 'Header Info Screen', ShowForThisRole: "Admin;Developer;Tester;Issuer;Approver;User" } On the splash screen I have a timer with the onTimerEnd Property set to load a bunch of data in a Concurrent function: If( fxConnectionStatus, Concurrent( ClearCollect( colAppUsersData, ShowColumns( AppUsers, AreaID, Email, HeadquartersID, ID, IsActive, MirrorID, Phone, RoleID, SortOrder, Title ) ); If( !fxIsInStudioMode, SaveData( colAppUsersData, "SavedAppUsersData" ) ), ClearCollect( colAppRolesData, ShowColumns( AppRoles, ID, IsActive, MirrorID, Title ) ); If( !fxIsInStudioMode, SaveData( colAppRolesData, "SavedAppRolesData" ) ) ... In the Menu item's DisplayMode Property I have it look up the user's role from a collection by ID, and then lookup the Title of the role from another collection and then see if the Title is in ThisItem.ShowForThisRole The user I spoke with said that all the menu items are disabled. Should I move the creation of the collections for colAppUsersData and colAppRolesData to the onStart or onVisible for the screen? Any help would be appreciated...

@Elvis Eyobor #truth I had to revisit the display mode for navigation controls because users were not entering information in fields that the workflow needed to generate their form, then complaining that it didn't work. "I didn't get the email with the form attached!". A little digging into the errors in Power Automate showed JSON code that didn't have the fields needed.

I am not using forms, as @Darren Neese taught me better than that, 😂 😆 😂. On several of the screens I am writing info to collections. What I did was base the navigation arrow's display mode on the number of rows in the collection not being zero. You don't add one to the collection, you cannot navigate forward.
🚀 PowerApps Performance Tips: Make Your Apps 10x Faster!
Hey everyone! If you want to speed up your PowerApps workflow and boost performance, here are two proven tips that can make a huge difference: ✅ 1. Creating PDFs - Instead of complex workarounds, use the HTML Text Control with the PDF() Function. It’s lightweight and efficient for generating PDFs. This method is 10x faster than using PDF() Function with containers ✅ 2. Saving a Collection of Data - Avoid using ForAll() for bulk updates—it’s slow and resource-heavy. Instead, go for Direct Patch() for faster and smoother data operations. ==>> Patch(Datasource, myCollection) You can get this to work by first saving the schema of the datasource into the collection by using this formula here: ClearCollect(myCollection, Filter(DataSource, false)); Update your collection with entries then patch back to the datasource.. it works 10x faster than using the ForAll() 🏁🏁These methods have been tested and deliver noticeable improvements. Try them out and let me know your results! 💡

I typically use Power Automate to generate HTML in a compose action, then use the OneDrive PDF converter action to generate the PDF. Once created it can be attached to an email, or saved to a SharePoint document library. Are you doing something similar with the HTML text control?

@Darren Neese did you happen to check the accessibility of the purple on purple on that site? That was not as hard for me to look at as the headers with the glow. Those bugged my eyes. My $0.02, adjusted for inflation it is worthless. 😆 Are you going to bring the content that you had on the powerplatformlinks site to this one?

@Darren Neese I can read that easier. The glow around the text takes me back to the wild, wild west days of the late nineties and early 2000's. You remember when everyone was throwing all different colors, fonts and effects at the screen just to catch the user's eye. Almost like old Vegas neon. 😄 Also, I was wondering if you could check out my Git repo and see if it was worth including in your list on superrowerlabs.co? It is my first initial and last name slash Code dash Samples.
