Views randomly Disappear from Site Map

(4) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 331
Has anyone had views randomly disappear from their site map? I would say at least once a week we have the same couple of views that remove themselves from our map. 
 
All Contacts is one that does this quite often. We're able to add it back, but eventually removes itself again and again. 
 
This should have All Contacts and All Realtors.

    Hi,

    I have had this occur - in the past I found it was due to people making changes in the app, and for some reason upon save certain views would be removed. When the solution was then deployed, the views went missing.

    Any time changes had been made in the app, I'd need to ensure the correct public views were still included before deploying the other changes - this might be a place to start.

    Hope this helps! :) If so, please consider marking this answer as verified.

    Kind regards,
    Fiona

    Thank you. We have about 7 now that continue to disappear. Do we know the true cause of this?
     
    Some custom views some out of box. Nothing in common between the views.
     
    Its hard to check all of them because we have numerous dashboards and a significant amount of views. 
     
    Not to mention, this only started happening this year.

    Hello User,
     
    Make sure those views are selected in your model driven app. I guess your model driven app name is OSC.

    Amit, yes it is a model driven app. They are selected, then get removed on their own. I then have to select them again.

    Has anyone got the solution on it? As I am also facing the same issue. The views get disappeared from model driven app without anyone removing it.

    A quick fix is to re add the missing views in App Designer, then Save and Publish the app, and include the app module in your solution so the sitemap and view configuration move together.
    Also check if multiple admins are editing the app in parallel, because the last publish can unintentionally drop previously selected views.
    For stability, keep one source of truth in Dev, export managed to higher environments, and after every deployment run a short validation of critical views like All Contacts and All Realtors.

    This is usually related to model-driven app sitemap/view configuration or solution synchronization, rather than the view itself being deleted.

    I would check the following:

    1. Open Power Apps → Solutions → your solution → Model-driven app and verify that the affected view is still included in the relevant table configuration.
    2. Check whether another managed solution or deployment is overwriting the app/sitemap customization. This is especially common if you have multiple environments and regularly deploy solutions.
    3. Open Manage and share views and confirm that the view itself still exists and hasn't had its access/sharing configuration changed.
    4. Check the app designer → Sitemap and verify that the table is using the expected view configuration.
    5. Review recent solution imports, app publishes, and changes to the table/view. If the view disappears after a deployment or publishing operation, that is a strong indication that a solution is reverting the sitemap/app definition.

    Since you mentioned that the same views disappear repeatedly and can be added back, I would particularly investigate your ALM/solution deployment process. A solution containing an older version of the model-driven app can overwrite the sitemap and remove views that were added directly in the environment.

    I would also avoid making the fix directly in production and leaving it unmanaged. Make the sitemap/view change in the appropriate development solution, publish it, and deploy that solution through your normal pipeline.

    If the view actually remains available under Manage and share views but disappears only from the sitemap, then the issue is almost certainly with the model-driven app's sitemap/view configuration, not the view record itself.

    @VG-07091306-0 This still happens to us. More so when multiple developers are working at the same time. 

    We include the app and site map in a single solution, have not edited or worked on these views in a long time, yet they still tend to disappear. Checking to see of the views are visible is now part of our deployment process. 
     

    We previously opened a ticket with Microsoft, but without knowing how to re-create the issue on demand, they did not help.
