Hi everyone,

I am creating an announcement and news app for my school. I would like to be able to visit announcements from previous days using the date function.

To clarify I want the main page to show the announcements for todays date, but I would like the functionality to change the date and see the announcements that were available on that day.

Is this possible? Many thanks in advance!

Hello @neil.mackintoshl1k  
Welcome to the community  
To build this you will need to connect a Data Viewer List with a local table. Each time that you will open the screen, the old data will be deleted from the local table and the new data will be saved to the local table if the condition is true. You can see the example below.

You should Create an interface to display today’s announcements and enable date navigation for past announcements.
