The Scenario:
Perhaps you’d like to present some instructions or announcements to your users AND give them the ability to “understand” and clear the notification. Here’s how:
-
Create a Boolean or Date Time column in the User Profile sheet titled “___ Acknowledgement” for each notification type
- If you have three screens with three different clearable alerts, then create three columns
-
Create a single relation column between the sheet/screen that will have the alert and the user profile sheet.
- If this sheet doesn’t have an email or userID column, then first create a template column and fill it with the user profile > email/userID value
-
Create the hint text and button components on the details screen. Set the visibility to only display when the User Profile > Acknowledgement is not true (boolean) / is empty (date time)
-
Configure the button to have a set column action that references the relation in the Row field and is set to mark the User Profile > Acknowledgement column to
true
(boolean) / Current Date and Time (date time)
