Power Apps Smart Queue System – Master

Implementation Guide

Architecture: Excel + OneDrive + Power Apps + Power Automate

This document provides the full step■by■step implementation process including architecture diagrams,
formulas, flow expressions, and queue logic required to build an inventory processing system for
operations teams.
System Architecture
Agents (20–25 users)
↓
Power Apps Interface
↓
Power Automate Assignment Engine
↓
Excel Tables stored in OneDrive
↓
Reporting + Monitoring

Key Objectives
• Prevent duplicate case assignment • Balance workload across agents • Group cases by SubscriberID
• Track agent productivity • Enable escalation and monitoring
Step 1 – Excel Database Setup
Table Purpose
tblQueue Main inventory queue
tblResults Completed case results
tblAgents Agent activity and workload
tblBreak Break tracking

Queue Table Columns


Column Description
CaseID Unique identifier
SubscriberID Member identifier
MEM_NAME Member name
ProductID Product identifier
Month Calendar month
Reason Discrepancy reason
Priority High / Medium / Low
Status Available / Assigned / Completed
AssignedTo Agent email
AssignedTime Timestamp
CompletedTime Completion timestamp
Step 2 – Power Apps Application
Create Canvas App (Tablet layout). Add the following screens.

Login Screen Layout

Main Processing Screen


SubscriberID : XXXXX
Member Name : XXXXX
ProductID : XXXXX
Month : XXXXX
Reason : XXXXX

Resolution: [Resolved v]

Buttons:
[ GET NEXT ] [ SUBMIT ] [ START BREAK ] [ LOGOUT ]
Power Apps Formulas
Get Next Button
Set(
varCase,
[Link](User().Email)
)

Submit Button
Patch(
tblQueue,
varCase,
{
Status:"Completed",
CompletedTime:Now()
}
);

Patch(
tblResults,
Defaults(tblResults),
{
CaseID:[Link],
SubscriberID:[Link],
Agent:User().Email,
Resolution:[Link],
Notes:[Link],
CompletedTime:Now()
}
);
Step 3 – Power Automate Flow
Create flow: GetNextCase

Flow Logic
Trigger: PowerApps

1. List rows present in Excel table


Filter: Status eq 'Available'
Top count: 1

2. Extract SubscriberID

3. Update all rows where SubscriberID matches


Status = Assigned
AssignedTo = AgentEmail
AssignedTime = utcNow()

4. Respond to PowerApps with case details


Subscriber Group Assignment Logic
Selected case SubscriberID
↓
Find all rows where SubscriberID matches
↓
Assign all rows to same agent
↓
Update Status = Assigned
Duplicate Assignment Protection
Agent A clicks GET NEXT
Agent B clicks GET NEXT

Flow instance A locks case first


Status = Assigned

Flow instance B rechecks queue


Next available case returned
Idle Detection Automation
Scheduled Flow (every 5 minutes)

Check tblAgents:
LastActivity > 5 minutes
AND Status = Active

Action:
Send alert email to supervisor
Testing Procedures
Test 1 – Multiple agents request cases simultaneously
Expected: Different cases assigned

Test 2 – Subscriber with multiple rows


Expected: Same agent receives all rows

Test 3 – Idle detection


Expected: Alert triggered after inactivity
