What’s the issue? Currently, when using a column with: Type: Enum Base type: Ref …the system does not treat the column as a true Ref when it comes to view behavior. Specifically: In Table or Deck views, the values are not clickable. There is no automatic navigation to the detail view of the referenced row (like you get with a standard Ref). The system seems to treat it more like a label or text value than an interactive reference. This makes for a confusing user experience when users expect to tap on a referenced item and go to its detail screen, but nothing happens. Would love to see these treated like actual Ref columns: Auto-link to the Detail view like standard Refs. This would greatly improve UX, reduce extra setup steps, and make Enum+Ref more powerful for building refined UIs. Thanks for considering!  ... View more

A fundamental security setting within AppSheet is the "Require user sign-in" feature, which mandates that users must authenticate themselves before gaining access to the application. During the configuration of this feature, app creators are presented with a dropdown menu labeled "Authentication provider." This menu allows the selection of either a SINGLE specific provider from the supported list OR the option "Any provider". It is not currently possible to select a subset of these. We would like the option to select a subset of these providers. In our case, there is a strong desire to limit sign-in options to SPECIFIC providers such as ONLY Microsoft and Google (with domain restrictions in place) as these are tightly controlled identity providers. A number of the other login providers are usually out of scope of corporate identity and access provisioning flows meaning that if a user retains an account in say 'Dropbox', they could still obtain access when a domain is whitelisted. In short, we would like the ability to select SOME authentication providers. Not just ONE, or ALL.   ... View more

I like to stay informed about when errors occur, so I typically enable error emails for my apps. However, it would be beneficial to have the option to also receive text alerts. This would allow me to switch between email and text notifications based on urgency or when immediate escalation to a group or app editor is required. Ideally, there could be functionality to control alerts more granularly, such as a slider or button system to adjust the alert severity. This would let me mute certain types of errors while escalating critical issues—for example, receiving more prominent notifications when a row fails to be created or an action fails to execute. ...

Idea: Add a new data-level action (not a row-level) that triggers a bot to run now.  On the bot side, add "Triggered by Actions" as a new trigger type.  This would greatly simplify a developer's ability to build sophisticated functionality with greater ease.  The new action could include an optional pop-up message to advise the user that data updates are happening.  Perhaps the pop up could include an indication of the bot's progress.  If the bot completes while the user is still viewing the pop-up, invite the user to re-sync when closing the pop-up.   Reason: Currently, on many occasions, the way to trigger a bot involves significant, inelegant workarounds, creating a whole new tables or columns to manage bot run requests.   Example: Let's say that you want to are building a drive dispatching system.  You have a table of drivers and a table of drives.  You've created a webapp that enables a driver to claim a drive by arriving at the webapp with drive and driver parameters in the url.  Now, in appsheet, you want to let the dispatcher press a button to send drivers a list of open drives.  For each drive listed in the email, you want to include a personalized link the driver can use to claim the drive.  Currently, this is very easy in appsheet when the bot has a time-based trigger, but extremely difficult to do if you want to let your driver press a button to send the email.  The simple twist of wanting your user to activate the bot at a given time adds many layers of complexity to the process.  Why?   This is a slight variation/elaboration on this feature idea.   ...

Dear AppSheet Team, While AppSheet was created to democratize application development, the reality is that the community is learning and striving for professionalization. Due to the editor's characteristics, we've developed our own naming conventions. I personally inquired about a "standard naming protocol" and, receiving "everyone writes as they wish" as a response (which I accepted at the time), I decided to create a naming protocol for AppSheet. Unintentionally, I've become responsible for many people, as any change to the protocol affects numerous users (developers and app users alike). Given this, I researched how systems engineers name database tables for international teams and found these basic rules: ✅ 1. Table names should be descriptive and unambiguous. ✅ 2. Use plural names consistently. ✅ 3. Avoid unnecessary prefixes. ✅ 4. Do not include relationship types in table names. ✅ 5. Use underscores (_) instead of spaces. ✅ 6. Avoid cryptic abbreviations. ✅ 7. Foreign keys should reflect relationships but avoid changing table names. This protocol change aims to improve productivity for many developers by reducing "downstream" impact. However, a native editor feature to order tables by index, rather than alphabetically, would be extremely helpful. To elaborate: Tables are currently ordered alphabetically. Adding a field for a unique natural number index would allow ordering tables based on this number. This index would visually order the editor and be flexible, changeable at any time, without affecting table naming. For consecutive elements, they could be numbered sequentially with an index, avoiding naming limitations. Consider the difficulty of adding a new table and renumbering existing ones. Therefore, I strongly request adding a numerical field to order tables by number instead of alphabetically. Thank you very much for considering this request. ... View more

AppSheet does not support group view in Menu, so if you have many views that need to be shown in Menu view, it isn't very clear for the user.

A feature where a field in usersetting can be change by action to store a temporary value. This value can be use to filter a slice data. usecase: When setting up a dashboard view, you can set it as interactive mode but the annoying part is that when no row is selected in one view, all of the rows are selected in the other view. UX wise this can be fix by using usersetting. We can achieve this by using another table to store the value but the resource required to store/fetch the data in database is not optimal. ...

Right now if I add a calendar or a user updates a row in a table that uses a timestamp, appsheet does not take into account the users timezone. This is a pretty standard feature for an app that will be used by users across different timezones. For example, we have a time-off calendar in google, but when one user uses it the times are based off of another timezone so it looks like a user is OOO at 3p when really they are OOO at 5p depending on who is viewing the app. Timestamp normalization is a must have for an app in modern workplaces that have users across the country. ...

Dear AppSheet Team, @amyplin  Today, I would like to request the separation of the display name of an action from the confirmation message value. There are times when it is necessary to set a display name like "Generate Nutritional Info", but for the confirmation message, a simple "Yes" would be sufficient. That’s all for today.

AppSheet is a powerful tool, but it’s missing one key element—Inter, a typeface designed for clarity, beauty, and seamless readability. It’s already in Google Fonts, so why not bring it into AppSheet? Why it matters? - Designed for screens - Inter was made for digital interfaces, ensuring crisp, easy-to-read text. Modern & minimalistic - A sleek, professional look that makes apps feel polished and high-quality. Effortless integration - Since it’s part of Google Fonts, adding it should be simple. This small addition would make a huge difference in AppSheet’s design capabilities. Please consider bringing Inter into the fold. I have also created a Google Cloud community post, which asked me to raise an idea request for the same. ... View more

It is well known that there is automatic synchronization (which applies to everything or nothing), delayed synchronization (which syncs in the background), and manual synchronization, which requires a user click. However, it would be very useful to have a new type of action that could be added to BOTs or grouped actions in a queue, so that once an action is completed, a synchronization is triggered automatically. This would prevent the user from continuing to add actions that remain pending execution. ... View more

hi 🔹 Problem Description In AppSheet, users often create slices for filtered data views. These slices can be used in multiple views, but there is currently no simple way to see which views are linked to a specific slice. 🔹 Current Challenges: If a slice is used in multiple views, users must manually check all views to find where it is applied. This becomes a problem in large applications with many views and slices. Accidental deletion or modification of a slice can affect multiple views, and the user will not be aware of it in advance. Proposed Solution Add an automatic list of views that use a slice directly in the slice settings. How it should work: When opening a slice in the editor, a list of associated views appears. Even a simple text list would help users quickly navigate. Ideally, make the views clickable so users can jump directly to their settings. 🔹 Expected Benefits Faster view management. No need to manually search where a slice is used. Fewer mistakes. Users will be aware of all views affected when modifying or deleting a slice. Better application organization. Easier maintenance of complex projects, especially for teams. How it could look: When opening a slice in the editor, a new section called "Used in Views" would automatically display all views that reference the slice. 🔹 Example: Used in Views: ✔ Order_Detail_View ✔ Order_List_View ✔ Dashboard_View (Ideally, these should be clickable links to view settings) ...

The ability to return search results in any view (or dashboard) without being confined to an existing filter or group selection. I'm finding it hard to navigate search results when I am using a collapsible group in a table view.  Say a user clicks on one of the groups to expand it, and uses the search bar, but the content they are looking for is in a different group.  The view returns no results, unless they know to click out of the group (collapse it) to return to the full group list.  This then shows the group that did return the results from the search. The idea is some way to return results no matter where a user is or how they filtered a view ... View more
