advice on how to build multiple select for multiple categories

[pbgiese]

Hey Appsheet Community,

I’m new to Appsheet and could use some advice on how to structure/build a feature I am looking to implement. I’m building a contact database and one of the data sets I am looking to include is a list of skills across a few different categories. I’d like to make it so when editing/adding a person it would provide multiple select lists of skills under category headings. Something like:

Welding
[ ] MIG [ ] TIG [ ] Arc

Ceramics
[ ] Handbuilding [ ] Wheel-throwing [ ] Mold casting

Woodworking
[ ] Cabinetry [ ] Carving [ ] Woodturning

We will also need the ability to add new skills and ideally new categories (though I would be ok limiting categories to Admin only).

I currently have our full skill list in a google sheet with each category as a column though not sure that format is usable for this use case.

These skills will be a key part of the data when assembling teams for a project.

Thanks,

–Paul
