Country and Dataset choices

You can customize the countries and datasets that are visible on your form dropdown.

Adding a default Dataset for a Country

When performing an address search on an empty address on a form, the default country and dataset as specified in the Products page of the Configuration app are used as the initial values for the address search. If the address fields on a form are already populated and a new address search is performed, then the country of the existing address on the form is used as the initial country for the search. For countries Australia, Ireland and New Zealand that require a dataset to be specified, when a address search is performed on an existing address the PAF dataset will be used for the initial search.

If a dataset other than the PAF dataset should be used for the countries Australia, Ireland and New Zealand when performing address searches on populated address fields of these countries, this dataset can be specified in the Description field of the country option set following the steps below:

1. Select Choices from the left hand menu of the main Power Apps interface. If it's not immediately visible, select More and then click the Pin icon next to Choices.

2. Click the Country display name (Name: edq_country).

3. Click the Edit choice icon to the right of the country you want to set the default for to show the Additional properties panel.

4. In the Description field add the comma character "," to the end of the 3 letter country code that will be present.

5. After the comma character add the name of the default dataset (see illustration below where the GNAF dataset has been added as the default dataset for the country Australia).

6. Click Save and Close.
