Running into another issue and I’m not sure if i should start a new post, or continue replying to my initial question. So i apologize in advance if this is the wrong way.. 🙂 Current set up & issue - Building an app where users go through a series of multiple choice questions. - I have a games table with approx 50 columns and approx 50 rows of questions (more will be added in the future) - I set up a USERs table with different ROW IDs so each app user has a different experience not linked to any other user - After each multiple choice question, i want a “Next” button to appear which directs to the next multiple choice question, and then another multiple choice question, etc etc. I am getting stuck creating this component to direct users to the next game/question. I got as far as creating a component, but it only shows the details of the current game when clicked. (Not a new game). The AI has been very helpful up until now for this particular feature. ---

So i apologize in advance if this is the wrong way.. 🙂 Generally we suggest opening a new thread if the issue is unrelated. (That’s why I moved the post here). > [@DHIGGS](#): > > I am getting stuck creating this component to direct users to the next game/question. I got as far as creating a component, but it only shows the details of the current game when clicked. (Not a new game). The AI has been very helpful up until now for this particular feature. I would: - Add a rowID column to your questions table. - Add a lookup targetting that rowID column, so you get an array of rowIDs. - Use a find element index column, find the current row’s rowID in the array above. The result is a 0-based list of indexes. - Add a “current index” column to the user profiles table. - Have a screen where the user presses a “Start Game” button that writes 0 to the “current index” column and show a new screen. - Add a custom collection to that screen, target the questions table, filter the row’s index equalling to “current index”. - Next button would increase current index by 1. Previous would decrease. Hide Next when Current index = Max index from the table (use a rollup). Hide Previous button when Current index = 0. ---

I do not see how/where to find an element index column. I’ve searched all of the available column options, even used the AI to help locate. I see basic, computed, AI, and Integrations (along with few others). But nowhere do I see element index columns. ---

Have you tried the search when selecting the column type? ![1000005786](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/5/95ef2f8abf758b0cd65eb2cc8fef6863985d2515.jpeg) ---

I have a screen where the user presses “Play”, but not sure how to direct it to write 0 to the “current index” and show a new screen.

Instead of “Show new screen”, you would click on that dropdown and create a custom workflow (hidden under Workflows for [Table Name] \> Create new workflow). In there, you would be able to chain multiple actions inside a workflow. You would have an action to set 0 to “current index” first, then show the new screen. ---
