How to Reorder Pages in AppSheet Sidebar Menu

Hi,

Is it possible to customize the order of pages in the AppSheet navigation sidebar? I’ve created some new pages that I want to move higher in the hierarchy but i haven’t been able to do so.

Any guidance would be much appreciated thanks!

If you are using the desktop design and if your views are a combination of primary navigation views and menu navigation views, then you can use a combination of settings to reorder the view display.

For example, to order the primary navigation views , please use the highlighted settings below.

For menu views, you can use reorder option icon as shown below

To get a complete control over the view order in the desktop view, you could duplicate all the primary views in the desktop view with the following show_if expression

CONTEXT(“Host”) = “Browser” to display the view in the desktop view sidebar and
CONTEXT(“Host”)= 'Device" to show the view in the mobile device.

So for example if you have a primary view “Orders” , then you can duplicate it with a name say “Orders_Desktop”

In the “Orders” view you could have a show_if expression of CONTEXT(“Host”)= 'Device"

in the “Orders_Desktop” view, you could have a Show_if expression of CONTEXT(“Host”) = “Browser”

Now with all the primary navigation view duplicated in the “Menu Navigation” and with the show_if constraint as above, you can control the order of view using the following option shared earlier.

@Jose_Arteaga and @Adam-google ,

Could you please evaluate if you can change the tool tip of the above menu views reordering setting from “Reorder Items” to “Reorder Views” . Many times in inventory apps, the view name itself may be Items.
