Change the view for an app beyond the standard options

[Thulium]

Hi.

I created my first simple app some days ago. With success.

I use the following standard option for a view (please see my screenshot):

1. View type: Deck
2. Primary header: my_column1
3. Secondary header: my_column2
4. Summary column: my_column3

In the view type "deck" only 3 columns can be displayed.

I have a 4th column I like to display.

The view type "table" is no option for me because my 4 informations I like to present are to wide for small display.

My question:
How can present an additional 4th data in the view type "deck"?

I know HTML and CSS if that are neccessary skills.

Thank you for your help : )

Would it be easier to use card view for this purpose?

@Aleksi 
Thank you for the idea. But the view type card is not a solution.
I found no way to configure it with the data of 4 columns.

I need to show 4 informations (and only them):

Task
Forename
Create at
Done

The last one is missing.

The view type card cannot be customized.

You cannot.

@Thulium In these cases I either use conditional formatting to colour done ones  by adding a tick next to either one of the three coloumn, and incomplete ones with a red cross.

Another method I used is to create a virtual label column and concatenate the two columns into one and use that as primary in deck view. Using a mix of this method below and Formatting can easily allow user to use iconography and distinguish status as well as other information. 

[Task] & " (" & [Status] & ")"

Light bulbs (Pending)

Or

Light Bulbs (Complete)

Example whereby I have a few icons that I train users upfront with resembling Maintenance on property, lease renewal, or vacating process in place as well as lease expiry date, days left, property name.

Just a sample if you willing to try.. Also grouping things allow the fourth option to perhaps show statuses..

 It is essentially a preview of some info and if user needs to elaborate, they go to details... 

Get creative, this platform offers alot of flexibility in ways many struggle to envision..
