Showing & Hiding A Button

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I currently have a button which is 'Line Manager' and I also have a form in which a 'Line Manager' field is present and linked to a SharePoint list. Within this list I have defined Line Manager as a person field and therefore it has O365 credentials such as email etc linked to it. 

I am trying to only show to button on the form if the line manager views the form and when an employee accesses the form it will be hidden.

This is my current setup:

Line Manager Button Visible Value:

Line Manager Data Card Values:

*Note - Currently, the button is hidden even with the current user (me) and the Line Manager field equal to me.

Two things come to mind:

1) String comparison may be case sensitive, so you could try the Lower() function on both sides

2) There may be performance lag issues with the User() function that can be resolved thus

I believe the issue is with the visible property.

Try this:

If(DataCardValue5.Selected.Email = User().Email, true, false)

Hi @Anonymous,

Please first check if the person field is Multi-value enabled, if Multi-value enabled, then it is not available to work with '='.

For single value person field, please change the AccessibleLabel property of the Lookup control to:

ThisItem.SinglePersonField.Email

See if this would help.

Regards,

Michael

Hi All,

I've tried all solutions you have suggested with no luck! My current situation is shown below. Can any of you suggest any fix to show the button?

Start Screen: Assigning the User() to CurrentUser as suggested above

Button Visible Property

LineManager field properties

If anyone could help ASAP that would be great! have to demo this app in the very near future and cant resolve this 😞

Thanks

Just an update. I have done a test and added two text labels on the home screen (one to show line manager and one to show current user). Both are different even when the line manager field email i know is the same as the current user (me). So therefore, I think the line manager field is not dynamically updating when the app is launched. 

Any ideas?
