App UI not working properly

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

I have linked my app to a Google sheet. And I have created 4 different views in my app. Now, as an admin, when I add a new user details in my app, I can’t see the other user’s details in the other views. They show my details only. How do I fix this?

Sorry, This is way to vague for anyone to be able to help. There are multiple ways you could “add a new user details” to your app. Please provide more information of how you built your app to add user details and highlight WHERE in that implementation you are seeing a problem.

Oh..my bad. So, while designing the app, I used Google forms to enter data into a Google sheet containing different tabs. I linked this sheet with my app. Now, my app also has 4 views corresponding to the tabs in my Google sheet. If I enter some data in my Google sheet, then its being reflected in my app. But, on the other hand, if I enter a new user via the app itself, then I can see that user’s details in only one tab of my app. Other tabs in my app are not reflecting that user data. In the other tabs, I have fields that rely on data entered in the first tab. I have provided reference columns too. But I can see only my data in the other tabs, and not other users’ data

LOL! You basically said the same thing just with more words!

Here’s what we would be looking for:

  1. 4 tabs in your Google sheet - what are they, what data do they have? Are they individual tables in the app?
  2. 4 views - is this a single view for each app table? Or is it multiple views for the same table?
  3. When you say “tabs in your app” - what does that mean? Are they actual tabs in a view or do you mean the 4 views.

Images of what you have built and where the problem is would be very helpful!!!

If I am understanding all this correctly, you have 4 tabs in your sheet that are loaded in the app as 4 separate tables. You have created a view for each of those tables.

In one of those views, you are entering user details and you are expecting to see at least some of those details in your other views. Do I have this correct so far?

If correct, the data you insert in one table view does NOT automatically show up in OTHER tablecolumn simply because they are defined as a reference column ( I assume you REF tupe column here). You would either need to:

  1. Create an action that sets the expected rows with the values you want
  2. Edit those rows in those other tables and SELECT the value you want to show up.
  3. Use a VIRTUAL COLUMN assigned with an expression that will automatically update - but for this to happen, the row needs to be able to identify FROM which row it pulls the values from. In other words, there needs to be some way that the rows in the tables are linked.

To know which option is best for your situation, we would need to know how you have built your app and what your are trying to accomplish - again images of your table definitions are best.

I hope this helps!
