Question

A canvas app displays outstanding purchase orders in a gallery bound to a collection named colOrders that was populated in App.OnStart using ClearCollect against a Dataverse table. Users report that when a colleague approves an order in a separate model-driven app, the canvas gallery continues to show the approved order as pending until the user closes and reopens the canvas app. The maker wants the gallery to reflect the latest server data whenever the user taps a 'Refresh' button, without rebuilding the collection logic in multiple places. Which approach should the maker implement?

Accepted Answer

Bind the gallery directly to the Dataverse table and call Refresh(Orders) in the button's OnSelect.

Answer

Add Refresh(colOrders) to the button's OnSelect so the collection re-queries the server.

Answer

Move the ClearCollect statement to the Screen.OnVisible instead of App.OnStart.

Answer

Call Set(varRefresh, Now()) in the button and reference varRefresh in the gallery's Items property.
