Hello, I have 2 audio files and 2 video files for each row, each is a URL to an actual file mp3 or mp4, but on the details page, only one audio shows as an audio player, the rest show as a URL, which is useless. Any advice? Thanks

Have you replaced the components with audio and video components?

Unfortunately, no. Any top level screen like a tab screen or a screen from a link to screen button action, will allow for unique layouts and will have to be designed separately. Any sub level screen, such as the details screen from within a list item will have the layout tied to that sheet, so any…

OK thanks! I’m trying to figure out how to create “sub” categories…is it possible? Let’s say a tab that takes me to a few options and there I select a category and then get all the items in this category. Any idea?
