Button to save form

[kersian]

Hello guys I have 2 questions:

1- I have a form that is super large with differents tabs, I want to know if it is possible to save the form with a Custom field in each tab, because if not the User every time they open for fill some data has to touch Next, next, next, until the end to finally save.

2- I'm capturing the LATLONG with HERE(), it is possible to concatenate the text address to that so the User dont have to write it? 

Thanks in advance!

If you don't use tabs then Save is always visible

Yes I know that, but I want to make an "understandable" form, with sections, like I said my form has 150+ columns, that the person can fil in various times, until the completation.

If your form can be completed by sections, so that the users can resume later, then it's a sign that it shouldn't be one form

[kersian]

Yes It Is because it's once big action, it's for accidentes where you have to fill a lot of details, that maybe you have or bot all together, you have to wait if the cops come, write the names, fire fighters , draw a croquis, whitness, injuries, etc , etc.

Then go by sections, even parent-child sound like the wisest choice

@SkrOYC  Can you give me an example?

Just an idea..

Would it work if you create one form per section, or whatever logical groupings you have, and use actions of type "App: go to another view within this app" to jump to the section/form that the user is ready to fill out?

Hi @kersian 

Just to illustrate @TeeSee1 's suggestion:

What about using columns with type SHOW > Page headers, and setting your form with a "Tabs" option ?

Such as below:

You would then reorganize your columns using the Column order optin:

The way to build such section is either having real columns that will serve this purpose, or add virtual columns such as in this example:

And the detail of each page content is set this way:

For reference:

Customize input forms - AppSheet Help

Customize detail and form views using Show types - AppSheet Help

The only other way to do as you describe might be to split the form up using slices then give the user an action button with with something like a LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW() formula.  The issue with this though its that if they are press the button to do section A, they can't then go to section B without saving and then going back in.  

But as @SkrOYC said, I'd be very surpised is there is a good case for a 150 column table.  Do you have any repeating column types like images etc?
