Show specific view in Sitemap

Posted on by deeprime

I have used the below link to show specific view from the sitemap.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/open-forms-views-dialogs-reports-url#display-a-view-in-the-application-navigation-using-the-site-map

It all works good and show that view but other views also with view selector.

It further said in a note that "If you specify the view using the /main.aspx page, the view selector will still be shown. If the user changes the view, Model-driven apps remembers the user’s most recent selection and the initial default view displays after they close and re-open their browser."

If I remove "/main.aspx" from the URL "/main.aspx?pagetype=entitylist&etn=account&viewid=%7b<GUID value of view id>%7d” and put only pagetype=entitylist&etn=account&viewid=%7b<GUID value of view id>%7d then it does not show anything on left navigation in Sitemap.

My requirement is to show only that view there with no view selector. I have three more views which I need in my model-driven app.

Is it possible?

RE: Show specific view in Sitemap

Hi Deep Prime,

View is part of main.aspx, so we shouldn't remove the "/main.aspx".

Actually such of URL "/main.aspx?pagetype=entitylist&etn=account&viewid={<GUID value of view id>}" can be regarded as a directive to show a specific view instead of a standalone page, we can see that if we change the view, only viewid parameter of the URL will change accordingly, and the view will be rendered to a different view.

In a word, UCI is a single page application.

You could refer to following workaround to only show one view and do not want to disable other views in an app.

1. Create a HTML web resource.

2. Put the code to the file content.

View

It create a copy of the whole page using iframe(a URL to show a specific view), then inject custom CSS rules to hide top and left navigation bar, and disable selector drop down menu.

3. Change the sitemap item to this web resource.

Test

It looks similar to the URL method, but the source has been changed to web resource, and chevron symbol is hidden, now we can't select other views.

We can still click any of a record to open it in form, but the content will be loaded in the iframe. (It only works when we are selecting the sitemap item.)
