Hello,  
I have a collection and I want each box in the collection to point to a DB (e.g. box Step 1 points to DB “Step 1”).  
Is this possible?

(the DB steps are the visualizations shown on the application and the others are the ones I want to move towards)

If you want each item in your collection to point to a different source, you will need to create a custom action with IF branches that go to different screens based on the item that was chosen.

Thank you! But the second concern in doing this is :  
How do you make each button belong to the page you’re viewing?  
For example: I’m looking at Albert’s page. I click on the Step 1 button and Albert’s information appears.  
Then I go to François’ page. I click on the Step 1 button and François’s information appears.  
For the moment, I only have the information on the first line.

I’d imagine you probably need a single relation from the primary table to each secondary table. Then change your actions to redirect to the table via the relation.

You have a main table that lists all users, correct? I assume you have a collection displaying a list of all users, and you click on one to get to their detail screen where you placed your Steps collection? If I’m correct, create a relation to each step table from the main table linking their email or ID. Then change the actions in your custom action to point to each relation instead of a table.

If I’m way off on my assumptions, you going to have to provide more details explaining your app flow and how your data is set up, and how everything is supposed to connect together.
