The flexibility of layout could be enhanced quite a bit if it was possible to make a tile (fx as an inline list) link to a specific screen - just like what is possible with the image and the button component. These can have action = “Link to Screen” Right now you can only have one link horizontally…

That feature already exists. In the Data Editor, scroll down to the bottom of the Tiles style and select “Link detail screen” from the Action box.

Well, @Carlos_DeSilva - I don’t want to link to a detail screen. I want to link to a screen (meaning another sheet/tab)

I got you. I misread your post.

@david What do you think about such an idea? You enhanced the tile layout very much (and thanks!) - and I think that it can be enhanced further - with a great impact (and little effort?) - by allowing to link to a screen where the ‘screen reference’ is found in a column in the same row as the infor…

What would happen if you used a variable for a sheet that didn’t exist, or a sheet that existed in your spreadsheet, but hasn’t been set up and laid out in the builder yet? What happens when you add a new list item row? Should the app just fail, or should there be some sort of gentle error message…

@Jeff_Hager If a failure occurs - of course I would like a gentle error message :wink: The scenarios you line up are of course relevant - but I believe that it would be a reasonable limitation of such a new functionality. It is the responsability of designer to make sure that the screens are presen…

I like to play devil’s advocate sometimes. Not only to help us hash out ideas, but also in hopes that it gives the Glide team some additional thoughts to help them develop these ideas. Sometimes you need to consider all possible code paths because somebody will always find a loophole you never tho…

@Jeff_Hager appreciate that! I often happen to be a devils advocate myself :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Just to share my use case for this - I have a gallery of photos in an inline list, which are taken from videos. I want to send the user to the page which contains the video (along with some details about the video) that the photo is from, when they tap the image. I solved this by putting a relation…

@alexs this doesn’t sound like it would be a problem with what’s currently available. If your sheet has a column for the image and a column for for the video url, then you can use the image column for the tile and when you click on it to open the details, you can have a video component in the detai…
