Iโve used this: https://help.appsheet.com/en/articles/962179-create-app-launchers-or-launch-apps-and-urls-from-appsh...
To make my own start-page/menu for the diffrent views in my app. But the โSmallโ image size have space for text underneeth that i do not want or need. Everything getโs a bit to big. And the tiny ones are a bit to small. And also the tiny images donโt arrage themselfs in a predictable grid on diffrent phones. Just one after the other.
Is there another way to make a nice startpage that Iโve missed? Maby with a table-view with images in it? That way I would get total control over columns and rows. Or multiple gallerys in a deck. To at least group the tiny icons.
Cheers
Martin
Have you tried to use Deck view? You could show some descriptions and even actions if itโs needed.
Very interesting! Will definetly try it. Thanks!

Something likeโฆ
Sorry to bother you, @Aleksi, but could your recommend a sample app that shows how to do this. Iโve used deck view a lot but I havenโt used it in this way yet.
Hi @Kirk_Masden
Have a look at the Rig check sample app for examples.
@Kirk_Masden The table structure is not more than like this and then you just create a Deck view for that table. When you set the App column as โAppโ you can choose it for the Event action and it will open the view directly.
Name | Description | Icon | APP Link |
---|---|---|---|
Name #1 | Plaa plaa | Icons/Icon1.jpg | #control=ViewNameA |
Name #2 | Plaa plaa | Icons/Icon2.jpg | #control=ViewNameB |
Name #3 | Plaa plaa | Icons/Icon3.jpg | #control=ViewNameC |
Thank you kindly! Will check it out!
This was a REALLY good suggestion! So much more flexibility. Now I can have multiple links in my table for every item. One when the row is clicked and other when swiped left or right. So I have โadd newโ on click. But list of all on swipe. And/or I can add the icons on every row!
Is there a way to get a link to the icons used within appsheet? I would like the main image to simply be one of the standard icons.
Another thingโฆ Iโve made a few actions now. On one of my menu items I want an action that adds a row in a diffrent table. If I put the action on a row swipe it works. But if I put in in the action bar it doesnโt show up. Why is it that the โData: add row to another tableโฆโ Wonโt show up in action bar when other action does? Same settings as the other actions. Only difference is the action type.
I could live with having it on swipe, but opposed to action bar it does show up on swipe for every menu-item even if it only adds a row according to my formula in:
โOnly if this condition is true
This action is available only for rows of the table that satisfy this conditionโ
Doesnโt look so clean so I rather have it in the action bar if I could figure out how to get it to show there! ANy thoughts?
Hi @Martin_Eidensten
If you are after the icons I used in the Rig check forms I used the ones that pop up when starting a new app using โSpecโ
Iโm afraid you are not able to choose icons directly for the Deck viewโs records
Thanks! Iโll just get the icons from fontawesome then.
Any thought as to why my โData: add row to another tableโ action wonโt show up in the Deck action bar?
Are you working with a slice? If you are, you need to make sure that the action is in the slice.
Or you havenโt added that action into your Deck view.
No slice and it works on other types of action than โData: add row to another tableโ. If I change the action type under behavior I can see the action button appear and disappear in the deck action bar based on the type of action I choose. Kind of hard to explain. I can try to make a video if it helps.
EDIT: Solved it. Turns out I had the menu-table as read only. Nothing ever changes in this, but it prevented certain actions from showing. Verry happy now!
Would be even more epic if I could trigger diffrent actions on swipes on diffrent menu items. Will give that a think. Maby an action that triggers other actions. And the first action just determine what other actions should trigger based on the menu item. Drawback I guess is that the swipe icon will be the same on all menu items, but still might be cool.
This was EPIC! Thank you so much for the suggestion!
Is there any way to get rid of the possibility to select my menu-items? Other than to make the table read only (that breaks one of my actions).
See picture for how it looks now.
You are probably using an action โGo to app linkโ when clicking the item. Because itโs an action, you can set the condition rule. If the result is false, it wonโt do anything.
