A Show_if expression on View 1 hides the view from certain groups of users, based by querying a group members table.
Action button on a table visible through View 2 displays View 1.
A user who is unable to see View 1 due to the Show_if expression, can navigate to View 2 by clicking the Action button on View 1.
Can the Action Button โOnly if this condition is true for table recordsโ condition, be manipulated to affect a Show_If expression, or is there another way to achieve this?
@Eric_Schwartz You could use for example LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW for that purpose.
Much thanks. Done!
A viewโs Show if expression only affects the viewโs display in the main menu, along the bottom button bar of the screen, or in other locations that AppSheet would display it. An action is not a display element, so the display properties of a view play no role in an actionโs behavior. In other words, the actionโs Only if this condition is true property cannot be manipulated to affect the Show if expression of a view, nor vice versa. You will have to configure each to independently decide whether the current user is eligible to view/visit view 1.
โThis action is available only for rows of the table that satisfy this conditionโ, confused me. I read this as the Y/N needed to relate to columns in the current table. Ignoring that, the Y/N result when querying other tables achieved the required result. Thanks.
