Basic 1 page app

[Lachlan_Stead]

Hello all,

I'm new to AppSheet and am trying to work out how to create a very basic one page app with the following:

1. A search bar at the top
2. A results table underneath

There are a few additional things to consider though:

1. The results table should be blank until search values start to be entered (don't want the full DB showing)
2. App users shouldn't be able to access the dataset as a whole, only data returned from their search (sounds the same as above but they shouldn't be able to access it anywhere else in the app either).

Be very appreciative of any pointers as I haven't been able to find any content on it - most options found so far require filter values which doesn't work in this situation.

Consider @MultiTech's Enhanced Dashboard technique.

Thanks, but it needs to be a search box and results table... not a filter.

@Lachlan_Stead Have you tried just using the native search feature?

@dbaum thanks for the bump!

Those might be considered equivalent paths to the same outcome. Regardless, in the context of AppSheet, that requirement is likely incompatible with the following, which requires use of security filters.
