Highlight Row / Desktop mode / Generating new detail view

[nicolasfsamaja]

Hi!

I have a table view. --> If I choose a Row, I go to a new view I created.

In desktop mode, it does not keep colored the row I selected. 

Have you find a way to keet this row highlighted?

thanks

Hi nicolas, 

It's because you are accessing your right view using an linktoview action, while the highlight only shows the referenced record. 

So, you need to create a ref (and I think a dashboard view) if those are two separate tables.

If it's the same table, it may works if you use linktorow() instead of linktoview.

Hi Baba, Thanks a lot.

I did it using linktorow() but not working.

And... Dashboard would limit what I need.

Any other idea? Format rule or sth like that?

Do you have one or two table ? If it's the later I don't know if the default behavior is achievable without a dashboard.

You can use automation & format rules so that when you select a row, you start an action that will update a trigger value to "on" , and put "on" in format rules condition (ex: text bold & bigger). After updating the value > wait for X seconds  > before returning the value to "off", for example.

Hi Baba, that sound like a good idea!
2 tables right!
Does these type of rules make my app slower? Or will not have impact?

[baba_sawane]

It won't make your app slower as it is applied on a few rows at a time, with the most basic calculation.

Okey! It works!

1) I created a new column "count auxi"
2) I created an action that when I select a row it makes (max of column count auxi + 1)
3) I created an action that makes ACTION 2 + Go TO VIEW
4) I created an format rule
