Deck view display text not following rules defined in Help?

[matty2112]

I’m working on my first view in my first app and I simply can’t get the Deck items to show the two fields I want.

The table behind the view has columns:
_RowNumber - Number
UnitNumber - Number [Key, Label]
ReceivedDate - Date
…~20 more columns of various types: Date, Text, Number, LongText, Yes/No…
(virtual) Related Items - List
(virtual) MyCustomDisplayText - Name

According to this Help topic:

help.appsheet.com

View Types

Learn about the different ways you can display data in your app.

“…Deck view will display two text columns … chosen in the following order: Row Label, Virtual Columns of type Name, Name type columns, key columns, required columns, normal columns in sheet order.”

From that description, I would expect my Deck view to show UnitNumber (Row Label) and MyCustomDisplayText (first Virtual Column of type Name). Instead, it’s showing UnitNumber and ReceivedDate (just the next column after UnitNumber).

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you. -Matt
