Explanation
-
Resetting Controls:-
Reset(drpColumns);: Resets the dropdown controldrpColumns. This typically means that any selection made by the user in this dropdown will be cleared and set back to its default state.Reset(txtSearch);: Resets the text input controltxtSearch. This clears any text the user might have entered in the search box. -
Updating Context Variable:-
UpdateContext({locFiltered: false});: Updates a context variable namedlocFilteredand sets its value tofalse. This variable is likely used elsewhere in the app to track whether certain filters are applied to the data. - Populating the Collection with Predefined Data:- This
ClearCollect(locReferralList, {...}, {...}, ...);function clears any existing data in thelocReferralListcollection and then populates it with a new set of predefined records. Each record in this collection represents a referral and includes fields such as:FriendName: The name of the referred friend.FriendEmail: The email address of the referred friend.ReferralNotes: Notes or comments about the referral.StateToolTip: A tooltip text that likely provides additional information about the referral’s status.State: An icon (from Power Apps’ icon library) representing the current status or category of the referral.LastUpdated: The date and time when the referral was last updated, calculated usingDateAdd(Now(), -n), wherenis the number of days ago.
- DateAdd and Now Functions:
DateAdd(Now(), -n): This function calculates a date that isndays before the current date (Now()). It is used here to set theLastUpdatedfield in the records.
In summary, this code snippet is part of a user interface in a canvas screen where users can search, filter, and sort a list of referrals. The code resets user selections in dropdown and search controls, clears any applied filters, and repopulates the locReferralList collection with a default set of referral records. This kind of functionality is useful for providing a “reset” or “clear filters” feature in the app.
