Using "App" Column Type

[Arnaud_Bouchera]

Hello dear AppSheet community,

Does anybody know if a column of type App can be customized to look like a link or a button (for instance)?

I am experimenting with the App column type to direct the user to a specific view, but I am a bit puzzled.

The end result definitely doesn’t look as I anticipated. It shows a text box containing the text #control=<myview> next to a predefined clickable icon. That is very unclear to the user what clicking on the icon may do. The whole field is confusing. I was hoping to be able to show a button with a customizable name, or a link, that would open the given view when clicking on it, but not a cryptic text.

In the end, I feel I may not be using the App column correctly. Do you know of other resources about the correct use of the App column type?

The only info I could find was the documentation on the App Column Type, which doesn’t tell much.

Thank you all!
