Navigating Directly to Specific Detail Views in AppSheet

[11198]

I am developing a system that generates tasks in Asana based on the content entered in AppSheet. While task management will be conducted in Asana, I want users to be able to quickly view customer details by opening the AppSheet app whenever needed.

However, searching for the customer's details by name within the AppSheet app can be cumbersome. Therefore, I would like to include a link in Asana that directly navigates to the detailed view of the customer in AppSheet. This way, by simply clicking the link, users can quickly access the customer's information in AppSheet.

I attempted to copy the URL from the Detail view in AppSheet and identified the position of the characters indicating the ID within that URL. I then replaced those characters with another record's ID to create a new URL.

Unfortunately, clicking on the new URL does not navigate to the intended Detail view for the specified ID.

Is there a way to directly navigate to the Detail view of the targeted record in AppSheet?

In general you can try the following

1. Copy the URL from the detail view

The copied link will look something like below

"https://www.appsheet.com/start/eb230621a-9999-8888-811e-b91d00462cee#view=Customers_Detail"

To this link you will need to supply the row key of the detail view dynamically, something like below

"https://www.appsheet.com/start/eb230621a-9999-8888-811e-b91d00462cee#view=Customers_Detail&row={row_key}"

Thank you very much; this is exactly the information I was looking for.

However, when I try to use it on my PC's browser, it initially transitions to a non-desktop mode view, and then after a few seconds, it reloads and switches to desktop mode.

I would like to have it transition directly to desktop mode from the start. How can I achieve this?

I believe you may not have much control over this.  I think the URL  link is equivalent to loading the app first and then a specific row within the app. This is so because when one is coming from a different app ( Asana in your case) through URL, it may not direct you to an already "functioning or opened " app in the desktop browser.  Also I believe AppSheet does not show the specific detail view as a "stand alone" page but as pat of the whole app uploaded on the device.

Thank you for your response! Your explanation was very clear, and I really appreciate it.

This is a fundamental flaw with desktop mode.
