Creating navigation in a Power Apps portal application is straight forward, and can easily be done using Web Link Sets, but how about showing to the user where they are in the process and modifying the style of each element once the user has finished entering the data for that page. We have done this a few times and this involves the combination of liquid and JavaScript code on the different pages.

When working with model driven apps, we have the ability to navigate through the flow of the record using the Business Process Flow. The BPF is a great way to navigate through the different stages of the record, but what if that is just not enough. What if in order to complete the record I have to go through 10 or maybe more stages.

In previous work that I did, we implement logic that allowed us to navigate by displaying a popup window on the form (using alert.js), and we called the logic inside an HTML eb resource. A lot of these options are being deprecated and we will be prevented from calling webapi calls using HTML web resources.
