Power Apps Menu Navigation (as a Component!)

hi, I tried to create a menu whose source is a sharepoint list or a collection but the icons are not displayed. Do we have to go through a Table? If not, in what form should the name of the icon be stored because I tried: Home and builtinicon:Home. But it does not work.

why do you think we want to look at your face to block part of the screen?

Darren, Love this tutorial and was going great until I got the labels and icons on the buttons. Now when I clck on a button it goes to the right page but the wrong button is highlighted. Any ideas???

You are all that is good in this world! ❤

This seems like such an unconvential way, Is this not possible in a more direct way in powerapps?

Got to the end and things went too fast for me, Not your fault, but frustrating and now Ill try another tuber, thanks for the work you have done though,,,, EDIT( went through again, working fine, )

Hey Darren, I have created a nav menu based on your tutorial, which is great and love the icon's that you can add. I do have a request from someone internal if I can create a menu item, which is a link to a document e.g. a operating procedure. Is it possible to create a menu item which will open the document directly by clicking on the menu item?

I was banging my head on the table to highlight the default selected item. You nailed it with a simple Lookup function... You're a SAVIOR!!!

Instead of going to a specific screen, I want the menu bar navigation items to display the Power BI tiles along-side on the same screen. Basically want to link the contents on left hand side to the power bi tile displays on the right. Would be great if you coudl tell how to do so?

Great video. I manage to do all this, but do you know how can I reference an external link into the Menu Items?

Great vide, thank you so much. Navigation is not working for me for some reason..... any idea...?

Great video, thank you so much! ☺
implemented this menu in my app and it works like a charm!
would it be possible to have multiple screens for one menu item? For instance if i wanted to have three screens for the second and third menu item. I tried to do that but everytime i change the screens the menu navigation is switching to the first item (home screen)

Great video!!! Thank you so much. Keep it up 😁👏👏👏

What about submenus?

When I add the gblNavItems tothe NavigationItems property it makes all my icons and text disappear

How could you use icons other than the ones that are built into PA by using an images or SVG file? I find the stock icons very limited

Thanks for another great tutorial. Is it possible to disable or hide a menu option if for example, the current user isn't in my admin list? I love what we can visually do with gallery based menus as apposed to buttons, but I want to be able to prevent staff from going to an admin screen, which is easy enough to do with a button, but my brain hasn't figured out how to do it with a menu/navigation gallery item. Update: I can set the menu table items based on permissions to an item in a SharePoint list. My plan now is to see if it's possible to keep all menu options visible, but disable an option (e.g., New Request) based on permissions to the SharePoint list item or other condition such as the current user already has already submitted a request.

Hi there, I've altered this to have the icon cover the label and that's my OnSelect. There's a weird glitch when adding the Default value (lookup equation) of the Gallery. It shifts all labels over to the right by like 10-20 pixels. My main screen remains the same which also doesn't make sense. I've tried forcing X values of everything but to no avail. Any ideas?

Table Expression -
Table({MenuText:"Home",MenuIcon:Icon.Add,Link:App.ActiveScreen},{MenuText:"Add Bill",MenuIcon:Icon.Add,Link:App.ActiveScreen},{MenuText:"Inventory",MenuIcon:Icon.Add,Link:App.ActiveScreen},{MenuText:"Customers",MenuIcon:Icon.Add,Link:App.ActiveScreen})

i can't use gbl var why?

There is much knowledge... But cuts makes this rly hard to watch. Also your camera is so big.

Super dope video!! Being new to PowerApps, this helped tremendously. Looking forward to viewing more of your tutorials. Thank you Sir!

Bravooooooooooooo

Hello sir. Thank you for this video. I am new to power apps and building an app. I would like to know how to create role based visibility for nav menu? Some users get to see a few links on the menu while the admin sees all the links.

Great. Thank you.

Thanks for the tutorial.. your good however your so fast.. I cant catch some of your lecture. make slow better to understand.. Thank you.

Hi Sir, very informative video thank you very much for that, I am developing a PowerApps Application known as Vacation tracker as I am a Newbie I am finding it hard to build logic for Half day Leave functionality like "Sick Day(Half), Vacation Day (Half). Can you please help me out with the logic if possible? Thank you.

I am trying to use this navigation menu not to navigate between screens, but to control which cards in an edit form are visible while staying on the same screen, like a tabbed form. I've tried using gblNavItems = "label text" in the Visible property of the cards I want to see, but that doesn't work due to an error. Any suggestions?

Very good tutorial, but I have a question, when you want an Icon on the menu to be selected still even on a different page, can you do that? In my project I have to have different screens from a sort of global screen, so If I want to navigate to a screen that is not in the list of the icons on the menu, I wan the icon to be selected still. Thanks so much again

Hello, When I alt click to create the global variable for the Create Nav Items button, it does not create it. Please help!

If one of the buttons on my navigation was taking me to a screen that had a form on it, how could I simultaneously navigate to that screen and reset the form on that screen? When I use a regular button, I just use NewForm(FormName). But the form names are not recognized within the component.

Thank you so much for your tutorial.

Can't we create menu under menu which will expand & collapse.

Excellent Tutorial Sir.
In my case I want to create horizontal navigation but instead of icon it will contain image. Is it possible,how to do it Sir? I have created horizontal navigation. But, failed to add image. Please guide me Sir. It's very urgent.

hey, how to workaround if the user is in another screen that is one level furder from the main screen? I want the menu navigation to be selected based one some criteria
