Hi,

I’m still (very obviously) learning! I have chosen Swipe cards as my display component for this table with about 12 rows:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/9/996fcc5009d986fd61ffd80564ab42db7e89a225.png)

Yet, somehow the card just doesn’t budge.It stubbornly shows me only the first row and doesn’t move. I know it must be something terribly simple I am missing, but hanged if I can figure it out ☹

Can someone please tell me?

I haven’t used the Swipe layout much, but my understanding is that it needs a date/time column to hold the Last Swipe Time - looks like you don’t have that?

Edit: yeah, the docs explicitly mention that a Last Swipe Time column is required…

Hi Darren, thanks so much for replying! I did see that page - but I’m not even trying to store the Last Swipe time/card place… I just want to swipe through events available. _That’s_ not happening. I can see only the first event and that’s it. Does that mean I still have to force some kind of date stamp?

If you don’t set it, you can’t swipe 🙂

Gack. Why is it so simple when one of you replies and I’m floundering for hours (or days) otherwise! Thanks a ton Darren!
