Edit Form on call?

[RensD]

I have an App with Car Meetups.
There are basically two tabs, one with a list of meetings and one total Google Maps overview with all meetings. Users (it's a public app that does not require users to login) can not edit data.

I see edit forms in the system generated section.
I need a way to call the edit functionality via the menu.
(I will manually put a switch in a table to  allow temporary edit functionality by switching it on or off.)

How do I call the edit functionality please?

So.. you would like to set the Edit mode ON from the public app itself?

[RensD]

o....not perse.
It can be a value in a sheet table for instance.
Basically.....I am trying to find the way to switch edit mode on and off.
I am a very newbie to appSheet, so much is tonally unknown to me and I have to figure it all out.

Lets assume you have a table called "Settings" with one record. It has two columns, ID and Access (Y/N). Then you could write it like IF(ANY(Settings[Access])=TRUE,"Adds_And_Updates","Adds_Only")

I have created the table and it has one row.

On the table I put the rule:

No Plus is shown. No edit too.
If I remove the rule, then still nothing is shown, even if I check all things except readonly off cause.

And you have only one row in the Settings table?

[AleksiAlkio]

Sorry.. I forgot that you need to write accesses with capital letters. Try with "ADDS_AND_UPDATES" and "ADDS_ONLY".

[RensD]

Yes.....only one row.
Okay....changed to capitals only.
Still no PLUS button.

You are using "Onboarding" view type which is meant to only show data. That's why the "Plus" button is not available.

[RensD]

Ah......I see......yes, that is understandable.
But how to I add new pages to this onboarding?

Create an additional form view.
