Check out the Multi-Level Select example in [https://concepts.glideapp.io/](https://concepts.glideapp.io/). I think that might be similar to what you are looking for. Templates with relations are your friend. ---

You can do that with relations. For example, here I have 4 main categories: ![Screen Shot 2020-05-26 at 9.08.18 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/4/4215c2f8d51fe26c84007b122d1a7b4d13228bef.jpeg) Then, I have 4 different (secondary) categories (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) and you can see how I bring up only those items. ![Screen Shot 2020-05-26 at 9.08.26 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/7/7cf644e3ba2f9058535bb4ff2fcf92b128f04c89.png) ![Screen Shot 2020-05-26 at 9.08.35 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/c6b156c9345cef36e7233c53242ed837ab2bd74e.png) I’d suggest you take a deep dive into the documentation. [https://docs.glideapps.com/all/guides/quick-starts/intermediate-techniques/introduction-to-references](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/guides/quick-starts/intermediate-techniques/introduction-to-references) And copy the **Employee’s Directory Template** and see from the inside how do relations work. ---

It sounds like you need 2 sheets. One with a list of categories, and one with a list of items. The list if items should also have a column listing which category they being to. Then you can create a relation from categories to items by linking the categories in both sheets. You would simply show the list of categories in a tab, click to open it’s details, then add an inline list that uses the relation you created to display the related items. This is exactly what I’m doing in my multi level select example…unless I completely misunderstood what you are asking. ---
