Home Screens in AppSheet Part 1: Use a Gallery View

UPDATE: [View]=[Location] in this video's formulas.
There was an minor error where I changed the column name from View to Location in the spreadsheet while making the video and did not regenerate the table.
Create home screens in AppSheet by creating a table to store attributes about your home screen icons. Once setup, this method allows you to make future changes to your home screen without the need to change the app definition.

thank you my friend, it really helped me

Hi there .. In the database there are fields (name - type - location - icon ) but when you enter the target code, none of the fields (view) ???!

[@arleycarvalho250]

Thanks for the instructions, very useful. I even managed to reproduce and adapt it to my case. However, instead of email I chose to add another external link, I remodeled the settings, but despite trying everything and even adapting the actions the result is always the same. they both lead to the same link. can you help?

[@eduard2rod]

Hello, I have this concern, is it possible to restrict the user according to the email so that in a menu like this one they can only see a single view?

[@MrDylan1031]

Can anyone help me answer this question?
What if we want one of the buttons to navigate to a view within the app that isn't a primary navigation tab, and also uses data from an entirely different spreadsheet?

Hi I have tried doing the same for my app but facing some issues as below :
1. At time 3.30 how are you getting View as column name as the the Google sheet only contains four columns i.e. Name,Type,location and Icon am I missing something?
2. My all views are working but website isn't getting launched, though followed the video.
It would be helpful if you could let me know what is going wrong and provide some assistance

#1. Oh sorry about that. As I was making the video I had changed the name of the "View" column to "Location" in the sheet and did not regenerate. For the purposes of this video View=Location.
#2. Make sure you have the correct behavior set for "Only if this condition is true" @ 3:47.

[@peterbernsen]

It is the third column [location]

[@dilawarmubashir-9pfn701]

Ye I had the same issue. Very confusing video took me almost an hour to figure it out. The behavior that you have to set would be [View]=View, if you have the columns name, type, location, icon.

What about for gallery View? I want to see how to limit views according to users but for gallery view

Hi!
Can you help me with a problem? I want to create 5 view actions and I can't, I don't want to link to external or take me to another application. Thanks in advance :)

[@appify]

How are you using these actions? Are they to be executed in order? I need a little more information on the process you are trying to make.

[@BsAbConny]

Hi! Is it possible to open a form form a homescreen?

[@appify]

Yes. The form would be just like any other view. Just put the form name in the linktoview() formula. In additional, you can also use linktoform() for the action and prepopulate specific field values as needed.

[@BsAbConny]

@@appify thanks!

[@HM-sx6mg]

Can I do this with a filtered view?

[@appify]

Do you mean go to a filtered view from the menu?

[@HM-sx6mg]

@@appify Yes sir

[@richardellis-rte]

@@HM-sx6mg this would be a little more involved in that you would need to have if() with your go to view action. If([view]="view I want to filter", linktofilteredview([view], ), linktoview([view]))
This way you can use the linktofilteredview() formula for one condition and a regular linktoview() for others. You could also take this a step further and add a type column to tell Appsheet when to use each formula type. Ie. If([type]=filtered view, linktofilteredview(), linktoview())

[@HM-sx6mg]

@@richardellis-rte Thank you for the reply. I will try it and subscribe

hi

[@dzeips]

Every tutoria lvideo i have seen is made for professionals. If you are a beginner like me then good luck, everything's always too fast, click here click there...poof...something happened. Constantly rewinding the video and trying to understand. Am i the only loser here?

[@appify]

In general I try to keep videos short and concise since you can pause and slow down if needed.
I have this AppSheet basics series where I go through each section of the app editor. th-cam.com/play/PLJugWKesr7E6tJE54iXsE0J526FXi6K_A.html
Although I do realize I need to update this series as the editor UI has changed. Do you think some more introductory type videos would be helpful?

[@petermarcusk]

This wasn't helpful sir 😂, how do we link views from home table to views in data table

[@appify]

Not sure I understand. A view is a view. This video shows you how to go from a home screen to another view. You need to create views connected to the data tables you want first.
