Hi everyone. Sorry I think it has been asked already but i didn’t find any replies nor solutions.
I have an URL type column which contains a link to our website event. The header is not shown in a table view and I can only see an icon, which (having multiple URL columns in the table) is not very convenient. The easiest I can do is just assign different icons to the action but i would like to try to solve this properly if at all possible.
I have already tryed the following solutions:
HYPERLINK([WebsiteURL], “Open Website”)
Created a virtual text column with ““ instead of a formula, then created an inline action (go to a website) and WebsiteURL as a target and attached it to this column.
Neither works, it still keeps showin an icon and no header.
This is because the column has an action attached to it as an inline action. It’s normal and expected behavior. Try removing the action, changing its position, or attaching it to a different column, then Save and Verify.
This will change the way this column is displayed showing the URL text.
Please note this column is not clickable, I would suggest having a second URL column that mirrors this one so that it shows the text and then the clickable icon.
In a table view in Appsheet, when a column has an inline action, the header disappears. Because you have multiple URL’s and want to denote where the link would be taking the user, it makes sense that you’d like to include the header.
I think the best solution to include both the header and the action in the table view would be utilizing a virtual column as well as using the column storing the URL. So for each URL, you’d have 2 columns in the table view:
This column would be the virtual column. You can put in a space (“ “) in the formula and store it in the table view. Then you’d add the desired action to this virtual column.
This column would be the URL column. You need to remove the system generated action from this column so that the header shows up. It should be called something like ‘Open URL (column name)’. You can’t delete these actions because they’re system generated, so just change the ‘Position’ to be set to ‘Hide’ instead of ‘Inline’
I think that looks pretty self-explanatory for any user. Thank you!
I’ve also tried to create another virtual column and make it show a clickable Title, but it didn’t work (the text wasn’t clickable although the column type was set to URL, is Hyperlink). I used this formula:
