Hello, I am new in Office and I would like to ask for a recommendation about app which could help me with my project.

We are using Sharepoint in our plant, where we have uploaded some specific documents which needs to be read. Now I need to somehow create workflow, which will help us monitor the status of whether specific employees have read the mandatory documents. At the same time, it would be good if the employees who have to read the documents had to click off that they have become familiar with the document(some confirmation). Thanks to this, I would be able to see whether the given employee has read the given document. Is there any app, which could help me with this task?

I thought that Planner could help me, but I am not sure.

Can anyone tell me, if there is any suitable app for my project?

Thank you in advance,

Jiri

    Hi @Koprnický Jiří ,

    I tested it with flow, and unfortunately it doesn't satisfy the need for mandatory reading. He can only send email reminders to remind users that they need to read, and cannot control whether users have actually finished reading.

    From what I've researched, you could try Power Apps. Apps built using Power Apps provide rich business logic and workflow capabilities to transform your manual business operations into digital, automated processes.

    Power Apps is currently not supported in the Q&A forum. Please start a new discussion via the Power Apps Community so that you can get dedicated support on this issue.
