When I click the system generated “add” button in a table view it takes me to a Form that I don’t have any control over whatsoever. Therefore, I cannot control the form order.
I can create an action to go to the form I want it to go to, but I can’t seem to put that new add button on the Table View.
Does anyone know how to put an action on the Table View where the system generarted add button usually shows?
OR
Does anyone know how to change where the system generated add button goes?
Hi,
What do you mean by you do not have any control after you click the “Add” button on your apps?Is your table lock? Did you allow everyone to make “All_changes” on that particular table?
Beside, you can control the form order. Check this link: https://help.appsheet.com/en/articles/961520-controlling-column-order
I might not answer your question directly as i cannot understand 100% of the question.

Not true! The emulator in the app editor tells you which view is used to display the form:
which corresponds to a system-generated view you can configure:
However, you cannot use the view configuration to change order of columns in forms. To change the order of columns in forms, you must either change the order of the columns in your spreadsheet, or base your form on a slice and reorder the columns in it.
OK, so I have a view I created called “RMS” that uses the Slice “RMS”
When I click any task (In this case “Email Complete Breakdown…”) it takes me to a detail called
And then I click on Edit and it takes me to the “RMS Form”
However, when I click the add button which is system generated, it takes me to a form called “Master Form” which is in my Ref Views but I cannot edit the column order or anything.
I want to click the add button and it go to a form I tell it to go to, rather than the system generated form “Master_Detail”
I know that it is possible in my app because when I clic the “add” button on another view like “Past Due”, it takes me to the past due form:
I am at a loss as of what is different between my views.
I have figured out why. Right now I have a home screen:
Right now I have an action for this homescreen that refers to a [View] column in my google sheet and takes me to the proper view:
The problem is that it causes me to lose control of these. Can someone please help recreate this on the app? How can I create a new action that when I click on “RMS” it takes me to the “RMS” View and when I click on the image “SHHS”, it takes me to the “SHHS VIEW” and so on?
Update: all I had to do was put a linktoview[_thisrow] in the action Instead of linking it to the excel sheet which the column [view] was calling the “#view=rms” formula…this was restricting the user generated form and detail from being called!
