Is it possible to create a deep link in a broadcast notification that (once open) forces the app to Sync (and therefore update to the latest version)?
Something like: LINKTOAPP(โAppNameโ#control=Sync)
Have you tried to use Behavior > Offline/Sync > Sync on Start > ON?
@Aleksi_Alkio Many thanks for your reply. I have considered that however increasing the app plan for this one-off event was not desirable by those who are paying the plan fee.
Iโm really only thinking of doing this as a one off to force all users to be one the lasted update.
Wellโฆ even if the broadcast notification would work, you should send them manually every time. I believe you would not like to do that.
Few things you could useโฆ create a detail view as an initial view where you can show when the app has synced last. You can also control this inside of the formโฆ โYou have synced the app 01/13/2018 07:30. You need to sync the app before adding any new dataโ
@Aleksi_Alkio That sounds like a great solution, thank you!
However, iโm fairly new and wouldnโt know where to start. I would know how to set a detail view as an initial view. How would i go about showing the user their last sync date and time?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my (novice) questions!
Because you have the NOW() in the virtual column, it will calculate the last sync date and time every time when the app is synced. If you want to use that value in the form, you can use the value with the formula in Valid_if likeโฆ NOW()-ANY(SyncTable[ID])<โ000:10:00โ. It will check that you have synced the app within last 10 minutes and itโs allowed to fill the form.
We do intend to soon provide a deep link that forces a sync. Quite a few people have asked for something like this. That would definitely be the cleaner solution.
