Deep links help

[Patrick_Paul]

I need some help understanding how to effectively use deep links.  The documentation says that there is a column of type "App" that, it states: "is used to navigate to a different view in the current app or to another app. The value in an App column must be a deep link."

I have created a virtual column of type "App" that generates a deep link using the formula: linktorow([_Thisrow].[I-CAR ID],"Body Techs Only","TTSReporting-1521071")

What I get is something that looks like this in the detail view of the record:

....And it does absolutely nothing.  I was expecting to get a clickable "deep link" into the other app to view information associated with this record's key value. 

How would I accomplish this?  What is the correct use case for an "App" column... What is it for?  Thanks!

So, I figured out that apparently the system auto-generated an action for this (so I'm guessing that the purpose of the column is just to generate the link information for the action?).... When I click on the action button (which I had to change the settings for to get it to actually display and know it's there), it just takes the user to the view in the other app, not the actual row...?  I was hoping to get the user to the detail view, or perhaps just the inline view with only the pertinent row.  I'm not sure what to expect because the documentation is pretty sparse.  Thanks.
