Dynamic Slice by context

[Bulubulu]

Hi there,

Please could youd you help a newbie ?

Is it possible to filter a slice by using the current view data.

I'm trying to navigate to a filtered view using the primary navigation instead of an action button.

The action button works with this expression :

LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW("Storyboards", ([Film] = [_THISROW].[Row ID]))

So, is it possible get the same result by using primary navigation button ? The button should show only the rows related to the current view row.

Thanks and have a nice day !

Not possible. What's wrong with the current action?

Thanks for your answer ! 

I would have liked to use primary navigation to navigate the app, much like tabs. I would have liked the buttons to change depending on the context (which works).

You confirm that these primary navigation buttons are unfortunately limited. That's just not how Appsheet works and I have to redesign my app differently.

The current action works, but I would have preferred to have the navigation buttons at the bottom, without them covering up the view. I was thinking of reserving the overlay buttons for actions, like "add", "edit", "export", etc.

I think the app would be easier to use if I could have the navigation buttons in one place and the action buttons in another.

You might want to look into interactive dashboards.
