Hello, is there a method when a form or view is loaded that an expression can be triggered to run. I have a couple of tables that currently contain formulas. I would like to move these formulas into the app instead and then updated when the the view is loaded.
Thanks
There’s no way to trigger a function when a view is loaded but you could update columns in a couple of different ways. For example, using a prominently displayed Action button (https://help.appsheet.com/behavior/actions/actions-the-essentials) or using a Form saved Event Action (https://help.appsheet.com/behavior/actions/view-events) after a form save. For another common way, see this https://help.appsheet.com/behavior/workflow-changing-data/changing-data-from-a-workflow-rule-or-sche...
If you don’t really need to store those values in a real column, then you can make them into virtual columns which are always updated.
Actually, it is possible, but it’s convoluted and very delicate.
Thanks for the feedback. I currently have process that is calling set expression though an API, this is done on a schedule. I would like to configure so the data is always updated when the user opens the view.
Thanks
hahaha do please tell Steve LOL
