Hi, this is my very first post here, since ive been more than 1 year with appsheet, i just want to share what i do with appsheet.
I dont know if this already here or not but im pretty sure this would be usefull for those who are working with multiple tables
currently im working with more than 19 tables which is for each tables has individual view
so logically its only fit few menu on the bottom, the rest of menu will be on REF
so i make some main menu for each view and its looks like this
==================================================
Alraight, to do all this what we need is:
1.Setup the launcher
One data tables for launcher and make it as primary Views
heres my sheet for the launcher
just one column and the link of some image
- You only can use direct link image and can be pubicly accessed
now go to appsheet, and to the data section and setup your table launcher.
App sheet will automatically detect link value and set it as link type, so make sure to change it to image
Next, we set the UX for the launcher i named it " Main Menu"
on the ux section make sure you refer the launcher data as your table to display
Set view type as detail
Image Style Fit
Now create a tables data and ux view that you want to put it on menu section.
Set the position as ref
Heres mine:
3.Setup The Button
Last step is setting up the behavior
this function allow you to stack the button and go to another view
Create new action and refer “For a record of this table” to the launcher table
and set it as shown below
Do this : App go to another view within this app
Target: Your view name
Prominence: Display prominently
your can find your view name on the UX editor for your view on he Behavior section like this:
The complete action should look like this
And thats it! you can add button launcher as many as you want, just repeat the number 2 and 3
Nice tip. Would you know why in my menu there is a name that is being cut? (Image Bellow)
It should be “COLABORADORES” and not “COLABORADO”
Because the word is too long to fit in the allotted space. There is no way to change that.
Maybe you should lower your font size in app setting
Hi @Andry_Try_Apriyadi This is an interesting workaround you’ve come up with. Since we’re always trying to improve our apps, can I ask you about the context that inspired you to come up with this?
Since AppSheet has such a wide variety of use cases, it helps us to know the why when app creators are bulding novel solutions and interactions?
P.S. If anyone else is creating functionality like this, feel free to share w/ us.
Hi @Mike_Moss
Yes, I’m using this in active app, it’s been almost more than a year I’m using it
My app has more than 19 data tables , this is should make my user easier to assess the tables
No, I don’t see any this pattern on any app, im just researching and developing it , it’s just pop up on my mind , and I see on appsheet it’s not possible to doing it
