How to make an ordering app with order details and one part number  with different languages and prices depending on a relation tabel?

I'd love to see a more detailed example of a many-to-many relationship between items, and how best to display that; for example, I'm trying to enable 'tagging' of content. I know I need tables for items, tags, and the item-tag relationship - but I'm struggling to find a good pattern for displaying the items with the relevant tags on them.

It would be interesting to talk about licenses offers to students or freelancers to develop applications and publish in application stores.

Hey there @SCREINA,

Currently AppSheet does not offer licenses specifically for students or freelancers. We do still offer a free tier that allows freelancers, consultants, small business owners and even students to create at their own pace with a couple of stipulations. App Creators can stay on the free plan forever if:

  • Your apps are for personal (non-business) use.
  • You are the only app user.
  • You do not need to use features not supported for a free account (such as sending emails using AppSheet automation)

What's great about this is creators including students, freelancers, etc. can build and iterate their apps on a free account until they are ready to take their product to the marketplace and/or tap into more advanced features; at which point they can convert their account to the subscription model that makes the most sense for their needs. 

AppSheet Core licenses are included at no cost in Enterprise Plus and Education Plus plans. Some students may qualify for access if their institution has a qualifying Google Workspace edition.

 

 

Thanks for answering, I'll keep it in mind. 👍

Hello, Every

I actually want to know some points or ideas about working on Google Workspace.

 

So far, please, let me know. Doesn't the stored data need share at Google workspace?

When do I need the use of professional email to send a mail?

Looking forward for hearing from you, please.

You sure can! There are several threads in the community around AppSheet Databases + Looker Studio. Also check out this Support Doc for background. 

Also, https://community.looker.com/ is a GREAT source for Looker + AppSheet tips & tricks. Let us know how you fare!

I would love to execute PDF exporting from the table view or a template formatted style file with the AppSheet native feature (not the record by record per a page). 
When will this feature be live?

I believe this tool is already available, you could check in this topic below:

https://support.google.com/appsheet/answer/11541779?hl=en 

You can create a table to filter all the records you want to download in pdf.

Use START to pull the table ref of the columns you want.

Thanks for jumping in and sharing @CaioVSMoreno!

 

 

I been trying to grasp these expressions but I can't seem to wrap my head around the concept. Does anyone have any materials that will help me understand why, when and how to use expressions?
