apps is essential for displaying data effectively

00:00:08

and adapting to the user's needs.

00:00:10

In the previous tutorial,

00:00:12

we imported an Excel table and displayed it within a gallery.

00:00:15

Now,

00:00:16

we will learn how to customize this display

00:00:18

in order to better structure the presented information.

00:00:21

By default,

00:00:22

a gallery shows an image,

00:00:23

a title,

00:00:24

and a subtitle.

00:00:26

However,

00:00:26

since our data set does not contain any images,

00:00:29

it becomes necessary to adjust the gallery layout.

00:00:33

By accessing the layout tab,

00:00:35

the user can modify the display of elements according to their preferences.

00:00:39

Several options are available,

00:00:41

such as displaying only the title,

00:00:44

combining the title and subtitle,

00:00:46

or setting the number of columns,

00:00:48

although the latter is mainly intended for files that contain images.

00:00:52

In this example,

00:00:53

we will keep the layout with both title and subtitle.

00:00:56

The fields tab allows the user to define which

00:00:59

elements will appear as the title and subtitle.

00:01:02

For instance,

00:01:03

the user can choose to display the names of the

00:01:05

salespeople as the title and the cities as the subtitle.

00:01:09

This approach ensures a clear visualization of data

00:01:13

and improves the readability of key information.

00:01:16

At this stage,

00:01:17

the gallery still lacks some essential details.

00:01:19

While the salespeople's names and cities are displayed,

00:01:22

the sales date and the quantity of products sold are still missing.

00:01:26

To complete this information,

00:01:28

the user must insert a text label.

00:01:30

By clicking the pencil icon,

00:01:32

the user enters edit mode for the gallery.

00:01:35

Then by using the insert button,

00:01:37

it is possible to add a text label.

00:01:39

It is important to note that any change made to a

00:01:42

single item in the gallery is automatically applied to all entries.

00:01:46

This includes adding,

00:01:48

moving,

00:01:48

or resizing elements.

00:01:51

When a text label is added,

00:01:52

power apps will automatically display the item names.

00:01:56

To modify this content,

00:01:58

the user must go to the formula bar to customize what is displayed.

00:02:02

It is simply a matter of replacing the default item with the desired field,

00:02:06

such as the sales date or the quantity sold.

00:02:10

To further personalize the display,

00:02:12

the user can adjust the appearance of the text through the properties panel.

00:02:15

There,

00:02:15

the font size,

00:02:17

color,

00:02:17

and alignment can be customized according

00:02:19

to personal or project specific preferences.

00:02:23

By following these steps,

00:02:24

the user can enrich the data display

00:02:27

and add as many elements as needed for a more informative and functional gallery.

00:02:31

Thanks to this approach,

00:02:33

the user now understands how to customize the display of a gallery and power apps.

00:02:37

They can structure the data,

00:02:39

add fields,

00:02:40

and adapt the layout to meet the specific needs of their project.

00:02:44

However,

00:02:45

before moving forward,

00:02:46

it is essential to understand the concept of delegation,

00:02:49

which is crucial for leveraging the full potential of available data.

00:02:53

This topic will be covered in the next tutorial.
