I wish to developing an educational app, and there are several topics.
I have created a sheet that list down all the topics. And for each topic, they have their individual sheet, and inside it has many rows of info.
I wish to use inline list on my main tab that list all the topics, then user can tap on the topic and link to another screen and read the info that pull from their own sheet. Problem is I realize inline list action only allow link to a specific sheet.
I understand relations play a crucial part to make this work.
The only solution I can think of is to consolidate all the rows of info into a single sheet, and create a topic column and a relation column.
Iām not sure if thereās better solution?
Option 1: Use a choice component to let the user choose the topic they want. Write that choice to a user-specific āuser choice topicā text column in GDE.
Use the topic the user chose to display an inline list that corresponds to the topic (user specific choice column).
Example) if topic = āblueā, show inline list filtered to only show the topic with āblue infoā.
Caveat: if each topic has its own sheet, you might have to add multiple inline list components to a Details Layout screen and filter them to display based on the users choice (topic).
Option 2: use a combo of (multiple) relations, choice component and inline lists.
If your list of categories doesnāt change much, there are a couple of other options.
Turn on āIndependent Screen Configurationā for you categories list and and set up each category details screen with an inline list that points to each related sheet.
Use a compound action on the categories list with several if then statements that call a link to screen action based on the category name.
This is really useful. Appreciate a lot.
But, I donāt want to end up with user having to tap into long list of items to view the info one by one. I hope it could utilize the swipe layout for easy reading.
Thanks! This is definitely helpful for my next project. It makes perfect sense.
Somehow, I might be too excited planning to present my info using swipe layout, which user can read by swiping. Unfortunately to get there, I must be able to link to a tab I suppose.
