Solved: Auto-create column - Page 2

Mark_11 · 10-22-2019 06:01 PM

Hi,
i’m thinking about a new application; i’m wondering if there is a way to auto-create column where “necessary”.
I need to collect information about tasks done by employees, but i don’t know in advance how many, those task, will be.
Is something like that:

Imagine to have 3 task as constant, plus a suggested “task 4” and assume to have a not define numbers of other optional tasks.

Can i teach to appsheet to create a “task 5” - “task 6” and so on only when the previous one is not blank?

If not, or if there is a simplier way to manage this kind of necessity, i’m open to any suggestions.

thanks

Yes, you will be able to extract the information in any way you need…with appropriate expressions of course.

AppSheet provides the capability to generate PDF files using templates. Using this support search link you can get more information on working with PDF’s within AppSheet.

https://www.appsheet.com/Support?q=PDF&hPP=10&idx=help&p=0&is_v=1

There are a couple of ways to create the PDF report:

An Action button that a user taps requesting the report be created.
A timed activity called a “Report” in AppSheet. These automatically run at appointed times.

Both can use a PDF template to create the file.

You can search in support for more details on any of these topics. I don’t want to overwhelm with too much here.
