Desktop View - What view is the sidebar using?

In tablet / desktop view I have a map with multiple items. When I click an item a sidebar opens a detail view, but I cannot determine what view is being used. It isn’t one that I have created or one that is listed as system generated. I have created a dedicated slice for the map view and a ref detail view based on the same slice, but this is not being used. Any ideas?

Please post a screenshot showing the opened sidebar.

It is a Detail View based on the primary table source used in the Map View. Normally, AppSheet will use the auto-generated Detail View but if you have defined a custom one for that same table source, that one will be used instead.

If your primary table source in the Map View is a Slice, it is possible that there are NO auto-generated views for that Slice. In that case, AppSheet will use a generic Detail View. If you are looking to gain control over this view to modify it, simply create a Detail View based on the Slice. The Map View will automatically pick it up to use as the Detail panel and then you can customize it to fit your needs.

I hope this helps
