Create New SharePoint Items from Canvas App

In the demo below, Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, creates a screen with a form for new items in a canvas app built on a SharePoint list for tasks.

The app Peter uses in the demo is the same as in earlier demos about the recurring tasks app, but the aim here is just to show a way to create a form for new items.

Steps

Duplicate an existing screen that has a form with a Submit icon.
In the new form, make sure that the Default mode is New and that the Title field is set to Edit and the Instructions field to Edit rich text.
Change the AppName to New Task.
Insert a button in the Browse screen, outside the gallery, and rename it New Task Form...
Make the selected button navigate to the new screen.
Add a ResetForm function to the Submit button.

At the end, Peter sets the AppName in the Details screen to take the title of the item that was selected in the Browse screen. He also removes the Title data card from the Details form.
