Multiple Screen Form Control in Power Apps

#PowerApps #MultipleScreenPowerAppsForms #FormControl

In this video on Multiple Screen Form Control in Power Apps, we will walk through breaking up a form control across multiple screens and submitting and validating the form data with a single action.
This creates a wizard like experience for the user (tabbed forms) and improves the overall User Experience by avoiding scrolling.
We will also reuse the same multiple screen form control for creating, updating, and viewing data in Power Apps by updating the form mode.

You can download the App from my GitHub repo at:

Thank you so much for this tutorial, you really are the master of variables.
I particularly appreciate your style of explaining each step and function in detail, so that following the video one really understands why and which effect the functions will have, enabling the "student" to also develop it further or analyze errors that may occur. Instead of dry copy and past.

The techniques of leveraging Set and Default in for the multiple screens at 10:34, If Statement for the forms is valid at 14:52, ResetForm function for all the forms at 18: 10:34, Patch function variable for all the forms at 20:17, Set function for Edit form at 24:51, variables for Edit, View and New at 26:45, using visible property for Submit button at 28:03 are simply outstanding. Thanks a ton for sharing these amazing techniques! 🙌

Soooo many hours and extra formulas, conditions and variables wasted LOL. This is the most efficient way to do multiscreen forms. Two control variables: one for default record and one for record mode. Brilliant approach. My only concern would be memory usage with big forms and lots of controls.
Thanks a lot for this video. This is pure gold

I don't much like most powerapps tutorials because there is always too much "blabla". But this one was so good and straightforward. Thank you so much!

The best PowerApps tutorials on YouTube. The fact that you go into every detail makes it so easy to follow. Thank you Reza!!!

Reza, I owe you a huge thanks! It was down to the wire to launch this app for my customer. It is an approval process with hidden sections based on the mode of the form. I had it working just fine but it was just too many screens and would be a nightmare to manage any updates. I incorporated your method with variables for changing the mode of the form and the approval mode/status that triggered an accompanying Flow. I ran into quite a few inexplicable errors until I watched your video. I successfully reduced my app from 14 screens to 4! It was the Patch function that was a key element. Also, I couldn't figure out why the data would remain in the form but it was the ResetForm piece that was missing from my formulas. Thank you so much!

Just wanted to say thank you for this. The video may be a few years old but it's precisely what I needed and was explained perfectly.

Pure Gold Reza!!! Excellent explained and very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[amitsinghal]

This was perfect Reza for anybody to create PowerApps without much prior knowledge. Thanks for sharing.

[AdiCristea]

Wow, so many new concepts (the Form.Updates & Form.Valid properties, the Defaults() variable), thank you, Reza!

[StefanKastner]

This is perfect. Not only have I been looking for a multiform solution, also your explaining style fit my needs exactly. Thank you!

Hi Reza, thank you SO much for this tutorial. I have been struggling for weeks if not months following other tutorials trying to make a patch submit multi-page powerapp with a gallery, and nothing was helping - I didn't know what was going wrong. You explained everything so clearly and systematically that I could understand how the various fuctions work together - and your method keeps it really nice and simple even for people with little experience like myself. Now the app is working the way I wanted and I am so relieved. Thank you :)

Awesome video Reza! Your videos are always "MUST WATCH" videos!
Always sharing valuable information and tips!
Thank you so much!

[goodguywins]

Reza, I love your videos. This one is a stand out - one of the best organized and explained videos I've seen in a long time. Concise, clear, dense, and just so useful. Your quick breaks to show how each change impacts the app are perfect. Thanks for all the great content!

[ImranAmiKhn]

You somehow manage to answer every question I was thinking whilst watching this video. Thank you Reza.

[renzonavarro]

I've been searching for a quick logical functions tutorial for Forms, and I came across with your channel, you're definitely an MVP on this subject. I'm a novice, literally 0 knowledge about Power Apps and this tutorial has enlighten me so much that I'm really grateful about your content. Thank you so much!

[mahalakshmidevarajan]

I am new to PowerApps, whenever I have doubts about understanding concepts your videos help me a lot. I can understand all the concepts easily. I have a done my app using same concept :)

[jjonasbarbosa]

Always the best videos for Power Apps. Thank you Reza!

[samcrowson]

What a great video, I've only been working on Power Apps this week to integrate a form within our PBI dashboard, really enjoying the learning. This is by far the best video I've seen so far. Thank you

Hi Reza,
I just want to say that not only the subjects of your videos are really useful and they helped me immensely in creating useful apps, but you have a very good and nice method of transferring knowledge.
Bravo and keep it up.
