Creating an App with lists and check lists

[dulaa]

Hello,

I'm really new in power apps, And I need a help to walk me throu the proces of creating an app. Many thanks for You all support ! I'm trying to create an app that I could connect to lists and navigate. Im thinking about a simple layout like below. But Im trying to figure out how to add Fixed lists to items depending on the section displayed.

Example below. When I am in the "Buy" section and edit an item from this section, apart from the description of the items from the list, I also see a permanent list of tasks from this section to which I can assign a person and add informations.

So if I change the section to "Sell" it will show items from "Sell" and each items will have a checklist (fixed list) with quests "Sell" not "Buy". 

How to start, what to do first and whether such a solution is possible to create .Thanks in advance for your help, I'm sure any information will come in handy. Thank you very much.

To create an app with lists and checklists in Power Apps, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a new canvas app: Open Power Apps Studio and create a new canvas app by selecting the blank app template.
2. Design the layout: Design the layout of your app by adding controls such as screens, labels, buttons, and galleries. In your case, you can start by adding a screen for each section (e.g., "Buy" and "Sell") and design the layout accordingly. You can use the provided example image as a reference for the layout.
3. Connect to data sources: Connect your app to the data sources that will store your lists and checklists. You can use SharePoint lists, Excel, or other data sources depending on your requirements. To connect to a data source, go to the Data tab in the Power Apps Studio and select "Add data source."
4. Retrieve and display items: Configure your screens to display the items from the selected section. For example, on the "Buy" screen, you can use a gallery control to display items from the "Buy" list. Set the Items property of the gallery to the corresponding data source, and use filters to display only the items from the "Buy" section.
5. Add checklists: Within each item's details view, you can add a checklist control to display the fixed list of tasks for that section. You can use a data source (e.g., SharePoint list) to store the fixed list of tasks for each section. Create a separate checklist control for each section and set its Items property to the corresponding data source, filtered based on the section.
6. Assign tasks and add information: You can add functionality to assign tasks and add information to the checklists. For example, you can use dropdown controls to assign a person to each task and text input controls to add additional information. Use formulas and events (e.g., OnChange or OnSelect) to update the data source accordingly.
7. Navigation: Configure navigation between screens based on the selected section. You can use buttons or tabs to switch between the "Buy" and "Sell" screens. Set the OnSelect property of the buttons or tabs to navigate to the respective screens.
8. Testing and refining: Test your app by previewing it in Power Apps Studio or by publishing and accessing it through the Power Apps mobile app or web app. Make necessary refinements to the layout, functionality, and data connection based on your testing and feedback.

Remember to save your app frequently and publish it once you're ready to share it with others.

These steps should help you get started in creating an app with lists and checklists in Power Apps. Feel free to explore additional features and customization options in Power Apps to enhance your app further.
