Can I design a specific action to a button to display the data under the same setting from the next to the current row in the source sheet? Thanks. ---

I am a little confused! Can’t do it with compound actions? ---

“Compound action”? Under “Action” and “create new action”? I am very new to Glide, and appreciate for the help. ---

It’s an element called “Form Button.” With that the users of your application will be able to enter data in their Google spreadsheet. ---

The data is in the sheet, and I want the button always go to the next entry. Say, currently I am displaying the entry row no. 5, by clicking the button, display row no. 6, and then, click the same button, display no.7. Can this be possible? ---

Yes! Add a column in your google spreadsheet and also a button on that tab. The button will give the increment functionality and will assign the column that I told it to create. The rows will put it as a text element. Now, to row one, in visibility, tell it “Show element if column (The one assigned to be incremented) is 1”. So on with the other elements. Only that it will be in order; for example, “Show element if column is 1”, “Show element if column is 2”, and so on. ---

Thank you, Pana, but I still need your help. Sorry for not being familiar with many of the basic. “Add a column in your google spreadsheet and also a button on that tab. The button will give the increment functionality and will assign the column that I told it to create.” ++ Done the above. My added column called “navigation” “The rows will put it as a text element.” ++ Do I need to do any setting for this? "Now, to row one, in visibility, tell it “Show element if column (The one assigned to be incremented) is 1”. ++ Now I am lost. “visibility” under which section? In general: 1. Do I need to assign any value/text to my “navigation” column? 2. With the button (under feature, increment, increment by 1), it will add a value to the row being shown at the moment. How it moves to the next row? ---
