Pages maps is missing this ability (which I have to use a web embed to get around – not optimal):
good news. looks like this has now been added.
Hi! Can you please to show how to add it?
I get that folks would like checkboxes, and I expect they’ll probably be added at some stage.
But personally I don’t miss them. Checkboxes feel a bit dated to me.
They kinda remind me of some of those horrible web forms from back in the late 90’s.
I was certainly not missing them today while trying to maintain my outdated and unneeded tables…
–and after linking them, the process to delete each one was even more staggering…
hehe, I can relate to that. I’d guess that I have at least 100 or so unused Glide Tables. I’ve gotten into the habit of repurposing old ones instead of creating new ones.
It’s a shame they can’t be more easily removed. I guess they must be cheap
A lot of todo apps do have them though
Or a way to upsell
The biggest issue with checkboxes is that they don’t trigger actions. If I could have a checkbox ALSO trigger an action when checked / unchecked, then bring 'em back for sure!
True, that should be the case and feels very logical
Checkboxes are important for businesses. We use them for process forms, they help staff check off each step of a task. Agree added functionality would be useful.
In apps you have much more control over how an image appears …
Yeah, I think every component in Pages should have at least the same as in Apps.
The signature component is very useful in certain application scenarios. Will it be implemented in Pages?
I would use checkboxes to allow users to quickly select items from a long list and then perform an action (by clicking a button) on the items checked. Export them…delete them….add them to a list. Is there an easy way to do that now without check boxes?
(Asking that in part because two of my favorite experts on here are meh about checkboxes but that functionality seems pretty routine and not really outdated).
You could do the same thing with with any list style, although admittedly with a checkbox style list it’s basically zero configuration.
To me, it’s not the functionality that seems outdated, but the style. Switches are much more visually appealing, IMO.
I had a talk with the lead designers of Glide. Checklist component style will be making its way back to Glide Pages with a few enhancements. Be on the look out in the next month or two!
Yes! Glide Apps style in Pages should be bare minimum. Keep mobile view the same at least.
I was starting to ask how you would do that and then I realized: configure the item click action. Why did that not occur to me before…sigh…
