I have made my own Film app that displays all the films and then when clicked displays all the info for that film. I use a checkbox to display whether it has been seen or not. I’ve downloaded it to my iPhone 12 and it works well…EXCEPT that when I click the checkbox to show I’ve seen the film,all the info for that film completely vanishes! Within the the online Glide programme (where I made the app) that doesn’t happen. What is happening what am I doing wrong?  
Assistance would be appreciated. Thank you

Do you have any visibility conditions defined?  
From your description, it sounds like the checkbox is triggering a visibility condition.

Thank you for the quick response, I’ll check that out.

Just another query - is there any way I can add the checkbox to the ‘front page’ where the style page is. I realise there is a checklist type page, but if I use that style I can’t have images etc

hmm, sorry but I don’t really understand the terminology that you’re using.  
Could you perhaps provide a screen shot or two to help me better understand?

Update: Okay, I think i’ve managed to figure it out. I think what you’re looking for is a Details Style Layout.

Using that layout, you can add checkboxes, images, inline lists, whatever.

Thanks I’ll try that…  
One last question…each tab is linked to a specific page of the data table and gets data from those columns. How can I access info from a different page of the data sheet to use in a tab, if it doesn’t appear in the choices I’m given in the column list. Do you understand what I mean?

Yes, I understand.

It depends on the types of components, and types of data.

But, if you have columns that are common to both tables, you can create [relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) between the tables and then use [Lookup](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/lookup-column) columns to pull data from one table to another.

For some components (such as Inline Lists), you can directly reference data in any table.

Is there a video on how to do that?
