Button Red Number

Hi, I would like to ask if there is any way for us to create "Red Number" for button of the apps. This will be similar like our usual phone apps that display unread or incomplete task. Thanks.

As @Steve guided, what @Freedom_Tang is looking for is not possible.

@Josh_Klassen what you are looking for can be achieved with certain conditions and slight variation.  The implementation needs

  • Use of Emojis(https://emojipedia.org/large-red-circle/)
  • In the example below, if the orders for a customer are open, there is a red dot that appears when THAT customer browses the app. The red dot appears against the "Customer" and "Orders" views. 

The image below shows the customer who is browsing the app has orders in open status.

The image below shows when all the orders for that customer have been completed.

The display name expression for the All Orders view is 

CONCATENATE("All Orders ", IF(IN("Open", SELECT(Orders[Order Status],[Customer Email]=USEREMAIL())),🔴,🟢))

The display name expression for the Customers view is 

CONCATENATE("Customers ", IF(IN("Open", SELECT(Orders[Order Status],[Customer Email]=USEREMAIL())),🔴,🟢))

 

Another condition is display name expression should not be a specific row based([_THISROW] etc.) as display names do not support row level expressions.

Point to note is , at times all emojis , especially recently released do not appear in certain earlier browser, OS or devices. But the above red/green circle Emojis are pretty old one, released in 2010 , so should reflect in all devices, OS. But testing on intended user base is always good.

Not possible.

Thanks for info.

I don't believe this possible. If I am wrong that would be awesome.

For example: I have a tasks table that is in the menu at the bottom. There is no way to indicate that the user needs to pay attention to the tasks table. A red dot appearing on the tasks table icon on the menu at the bottom would be a great way to bring user attention to it to indicate that a task is overdue.
