As app creators, it’s important to consider the entire lifecycle of an application to ensure continuous app performance, security, and value. However, app lifecycle management can seem daunting for even the most experienced app creators.
Join us for AppSheet Office Hours on August 4th, where our experts will share best practices and recommendations for managing your apps from idea to impact, including:
- The key stages of app lifecycle management
- Managing end users and app collaborators
- Managing app versions and upgrades
- …and more!
As always, you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions (even if they’re not directly related to the session topic) and receive answers live from AppSheet experts. Pro tip: the best way to get your questions answered is by adding them in advance to the comments section below!
With this series of AppSheet Office Hours, it’s our goal to provide a trusted space where you can receive support and guidance along your app creation journey. We hope to see you there!

English: Hi guys, im thinking in develop one map in Google MyMaps for forecast of weather in a very specifically part of the world, NW of Mexico and SW of USA, focused in the main cities of Sinaloa, Sonora and Baja California Mexico and Arizona, Nevada and California USA and i think take data of past years in the same locations to do the forecast. If you have an idea will be received. The images depict the actuallity of the project.
Spanish: Hola chicos pienso hacer un mapa para hacer el pronostico del tiempo en un parte muy especifica del mundo, el noroeste de Mexico y Suroeste de USA, especificamente las ciudades de Sinaloa, Sonora, Baja California en Mexico y Arizona, Nevada y California en USA, el caso es que tomare datos de años pasados y los usare para pronosticar la temperatura y que automaticamente salgan reflejados los datos en MyMaps. Si tienen alguna idea se los agradecere. Esto es lo que llevo construido.
Marca en la columna de la tabla "Hijo" que hace referencia a la tabla "Padre" la casilla que dice Is part of?
Creo que en tu caso, la tabla Padre sería Compras y la tabla hijo Movimientos.
Esto es cómo si hicieras un constraint en la base de datos y al eliminar el padre, se eliminan los hijos.
Si no son padre e hijo, entonces tendrías que hacerlo un bot con una tarea webhook que llame a la API de AppSheet.
No sé si sea lo que buscas. Espero te sirva.
Saludos.

Yes it is. Drill down into field definition and you will find a formula button for a Show_If formula:
You can get the same thing on the table column view by expanding the table view by clicking on the device top right of the table:
yes.
at clicking there, you will have the possibility to add an expression instead of using the tickboxes.
Is it possible to automatically hide and show certain columns when certain conditions are met?
One of the major headaches the app creators are facing is how to safely "update" the app definition while the app is in use by the app users. There is no perfect solutions available unfortunately due to the appsheet architectures where the app is copied to the user devices and it is possible there would be a gap between the latest version and users local versions which make the app un-use.
"Pause app" features could be useful, assuming the app user will not be able to access to the app while the app owner is updateing the app definition. However, this feature is not actually usable because of few reasons.
1. The app is not accessible even from app editor emulator.
This is not makinng sense... The app owner is also blocked to view the app from preview window..... This must be corrected.
2. The app is still accessible by the app users while the option is turned on.
When this pause app option is eanbled, the app users still able to access to the app. And they can edit the data as well. However, the sycn is blocked. This causes massive disruptions. Whenever the app is paused, the app creators will update the app, resulting the app versions are incremented. The users update data from the app is pending while the option is on. The sync is pending for a while. Once the app owner turns option OFF, then users will be able to start to push the pending sync data, but again resuliting in errors, due to mismatch of the app versions. The only available remedy is to reset the app (remove the pending data changes), which the average users do not know how to do it and why they need to do it, and they are upset by losing the works.
All in all, I hope this pausing app feature could be enhansed further, such as making local app (on user devices) are completely un-use by aggressively pushing from server to local devices upon turning on this pause app option etc. Once the option is turned off, then push another instruction aggressively from server to local devices to update the local app version and continuously. We need such type of mechnism to safely update the app without dispurptions.
Sorry this is not a request, but kinda of feature request, thank you.
