Toggle switches are a simple yet effective way to enhance the user interface in Dynamics. By reducing the number of clicks required for users, they can streamline their experience and improve efficiency. In this post, we’ll explore how to add toggle controls to your forms and discuss their importance in Dynamics customization.
The Versatility of the Toggle Control in Dynamics 365
Toggle controls can significantly improve the user experience in Dynamics, making them a valuable addition to almost every Boolean field. While there may be rare cases where toggle controls are not suitable, their versatility and usability make them an ideal choice for most scenarios. If you have any specific use cases in mind where toggle controls may not be appropriate, feel free to share them in the comments below.
How to Add the Toggle Control in Power Apps
To add toggle controls to your Dynamics forms, navigate to the Power Apps maker portal and locate a table main form. In our example, we’ll be replacing all contact preference fields with toggle controls. Simply drag the toggle control from the Components Pane (left hand side, under Input) onto the desired location on the form and associate it with the corresponding Boolean field. It’s important to note that toggle controls can only be added to Boolean fields, not option sets or other types.
Once you’ve added the toggle controls to your form, you can remove any redundant fields to keep the interface clean. Save and publish the form to apply the changes. Upon viewing a record in Dynamics, you’ll notice that the Booleans have been replaced with toggle controls, providing a cleaner and more intuitive interface for users.
Additionally, toggle controls update the associated field in real-time, enhancing user interaction and experience.
In Conclusion
By implementing toggle controls in Dynamics, you can significantly improve the user interface and streamline user interactions. These controls save time for users and create a cleaner, more intuitive experience overall.
