Hello @Mas_Syahdan_Filsafan

i think you just have to click on Display Overlay as you can see here

[Mas_Syahdan_Fil]

not display

[Guy_Merlin_Dyan]

Have you planned any behavior conditions for that specific action ?

[Mas_Syahdan_Fil]

like this?

[Guy_Merlin_Dyan]

In fact the idea is to know if there is a condition instruction which manages the action in registered in this Behavior part?

A row level action will not be displayed overlay. A table level action such as add, download, go to another will be displayed overlay.

but i set add to new another table, like this
and not display in overlay?

You can consider a row level action is when an action requires values of the row, see the red box.

[Mas_Syahdan_Fil]

then, can you provide a solution to this problem and create a check in check out app in the appsheet?

[hru]

You can try with LINKTOFORM() but make sure that there value taken is something like USEREMAIL(), NOW() or UTCNOW() which don’t need to go inside row level.

I have a sample app for Clock-in Out. It is in Bahasa. Please check it here, which using a different approach, please copy the app if you want to try it.

thanks
but in your sample not realtime time, i find time in realtime data

Mas_Syahdan_Filsafan:

realtime time, i find time in realtime data

I don’t understand what do you mean by time in realtime data?

[Mas_Syahdan_Fil]

when user add new data
time is auto following date and time in defice user
like this

this not realtime time now

[hru]

Ah, okay. You might need to change the expression to UTCNOW()+“xxx:00:00”. I just simply use NOW() for the sample app considering there are users in different timezone and be happy with it.

You might want to take a look to several posts about time, UTCNOW, etc. And one of the sample is available in below discussion:

Hi @Heru and @Mas_Syahdan_Filsafan

I had created that sample app, even though it achieved the purpose, I realized that that the below approach described by @Steve is best for capturing server time.

Any time capture system though has its own challenges. To capture server time, the device will need to be online. The below post thread captures various shades , challenges and possible mitigation approaches of time capture.

Prevent timestamp manipulation? Questions

UTCNOW() is the device time without the timezone adjustment. It’s just as subject to tampering as NOW() is.

i use timenow ()

time in appsheet not following in my defice

[Steve · Accepted solution]

The time recorded in the column of the form is the time when the form was opened; it does not update itself as time passes. To capture the time the form is saved, you’ll need to create an action to set the column value to TIMENOW() and attach that action as the Form Saved event action of the form.

can you show me your sample application?

[Suvrutt_Gurjar]

Hi ,

I have removed it from my list of sample apps. I will share the app with you if I find it in my app list.

However, it was a convoluted back-end Google sheet time-based approach. I strongly recommend using @Steve 's suggestion.
