Is there an easy way to share Text Field Values with all Pages of an Application?
Hi @viquarahmed07, thanks for the quick reply. What I’m referring to is this…
Multi-page App
Page 1 –
Field1 - User types in value
Field2 - user types in value
Button - Next to navigate to Page 2
Page 2 –
Field1 & Field2 is carried over from Page 1 and displayed on Page 2
Field 3 - User types in value
Button - Next to navigate to Page 3
Page 3 –
Field 1 & Field2 & Field 3 are carried over from previous pages
Field 4 - User types in value
Button - Next to navigate to Page 4
Page 4 –
Field1-4 are carried over from previous pages
Field 5 - User types in value
Button - Next to navigate to Page 5
Page 5
Previous Field’s values are displayed
Button - Click Ok to Save
Action - Create record in Data Table
Hopefully this makes sense.
There are a few ways to do this (here are 3)…
-
you can send the input field values in URL query parameters…
-
You can just save it in the database (instead of waiting until step 5 to create the record, create it after step 1). This would be the simplest way…
-
Don’t use 5 pages for this (it’s much a much slower UX for one thing)… just have all 5 steps on the same page. Is there a particular reason you’re using 5 pages to do this?.
Thanks @adamhholmes for the reply. We did not want to stuff so many items in the URL, it just doesn’t scale over time. Step 2 will probably be the way we go, it just prohibits us from attaching a Trigger on the database that updated an Office 365 calendar on Table Creates. I can put that logic on Page 5 button I suppose. Lastly, we were using 5 pages to mimic the Check-In Kiosk app that you usually see at the airport. That UI is easy on users and makes it very simple to complete Form.
