Can I have the buttons at the bottom change according to the user selection from the left menu?

[Tiger1]

Is it possible to have the buttons at the bottom of the app change according to what the user selects from the left menu?

[Marc_Dillon]

You could use a CONTEXT(“View”) expression here:

[Tiger1]

Perfect. Thank you!

[Tiger1]

Did I write this wrong? It now hides my buttons?

(“VIEW” = CONTEXT(DASHBOARD))

[Marc_Dillon]

Yes that is wrong.

help.appsheet.com

CONTEXT()

Information about the running app.

[Tiger1]

What if the button at the bottom - I want to only show when a certain menu item is pressed - is a dashboard?

[Marc_Dillon · Accepted solution]

You can show the button by the current view’s type

CONTEXT(“ViewType”) = “Dashboard”

or by the current view’s name

CONTEXT(“View”) = “dashboard view’s name”

Thanks. I was struggling…

Is there any way you can limit the number of view tabs in the bottom navigation bar? I have 8 views (some with long names) and readability is a problem on small screens. I would like to show 4 tabs at a go and allow the user to swipe to show the other tabs. It would also be great to show the tabs as tiles.

You have to configure your view accordingly; there's no built-in way to do it.

Not possible.

I don't know what this means.
