Add a timing before an action

[Fred_68]

Hello Community,

I begin to create applications with power apps. I've a button on an application to save the data on a SharePoint List. When i push on this button, I save the data, a sentence is written, a group (circle and validation picture) appears and and I came back to the homepage. My problem is, it's too fast and I can't see the group appears. How can I add a delay before to came back to the homepage?

Actually, I have this Onselect formule :

SubmitForm(EditForm1_1);;
Notify( "Enregistrement réussi. Merci"; NotificationType.Success; 0 );;
UpdateContext({ showGroup: true });; 

Thanks

Hi @Fred_68,

Please try to add a Timer control in the home page and set its Duration to 5000, which means 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds).

Set the Start property to the variable.

StartTimer 

Set the OnTimerEnd property to 

Navigate(homepage);; Set(StartTimer, false)

Set the following formula to the button OnSelect property:

SubmitForm(EditForm1_1);;
Notify( "Enregistrement réussi. Merci"; NotificationType.Success; 0 );;
UpdateContext({ showGroup: true });;
Set(StartTimer, true)

To add a delay before going back to the homepage, you can use the Sleep function in Power Apps. Here's an updated version of your OnSelect formula that includes a delay of 2 seconds before navigating back to the homepage:

SubmitForm(EditForm1_1);;
Notify( "Enregistrement réussi. Merci"; NotificationType.Success; 0 );;
UpdateContext({ showGroup: true });;
Sleep(2000);; // Wait for 2 seconds
Navigate(HomePage)

Thanks @rswain ,

But when I used the Sleep function  there is an error (Function unknown or not taken into account)

Hi @Fred_68,

Could you please tell me that whether you like my solution or not?

You don't want to add an extra Timer? You could make it invisble.

Hi,

As I begin with PowerApps, I try the "easiest" soltion. Can you explain me how add the timer in the home page?

Hi @Fred_68,

To delay the time you navigate to the home page.

The Duration of the Timer will help you delay 5 seconds so that the pop up group will display for 5 seconds, after the 5 secods ends, the Timer will navigate you to the Home page.

It is not complex, just follow the steps I mentioned.

EDIT: The Timer exist in the screen where you have your submit button, it is not in the home page.

Set the following properties of the Timer as below:

Duration property: 5000// which means 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds)

Start property:StartTimer 

OnTimerEnd property to:Navigate(homepage);; Set(StartTimer; false)

Submit button OnSelect property:

SubmitForm(EditForm1_1);;
Notify( "Enregistrement réussi. Merci"; NotificationType.Success; 0 );;
UpdateContext({ showGroup: true });;
Set(StartTimer; true)

I add the timer, but where I add the start property? On the Action or OnTimeStart ?

Hi @Fred_68,

My mistake, the Timer does exist in the Home page. To make it UI-friendly, you could set its Visible as false to make it invisible.

Start property is a property by Timer.
