Add button at top of deck view

[Accountfix_bank]

can i add button at top of deck view that click on the button go to another view in app?

Unfortunately, I don’t think this is possible. You can do it from a detail view, however.

I’ve requested something similar for deck view:

Non-row-level navigation action Feature Requests

I have a view called “Add Cards” in the lower right-hand corner of the screen on my app. The plus sign (system generated) is for the normal method of adding data – typing it into a form. The truck would (if I could make it do this) take the user to a list of data that has been added through the Google spreadsheet interface. The user could then “transfer” the data via a LINKTOVIEW action. (See the following post of mine for a discussion of how to do that: New row action .) [15] So, in short,…

I didn’t get much support but this has gotten more votes:

Custom Overlay actions on Deck View Feature Requests

I am finding this issue to be such a roadblock and workaround when it comes to Appsheet’s UI. The deck view is one of the most useful views in Appsheet but will not allow anything but system generated UI overlay buttons. Custom actions get place on row level when some custom actions would be best served as overlays. Is there any plans to make this view capable of having custom overlay buttons/actions? I find I have to use detail view to do just about anything/everything that has any filtered vi…

If you’d like to have such overlay actions on deck view, please vote for it.

Not possible.

@Accountfix_bank One workaround… add a fixed record that you can’t delete to the beginning of your list and then create a grouped Event action… the first will open your another view and the 2nd will open the detail view. If you name that first record like your requested view name, the functionality is correct.

I don’t understand you … can you let me link to movie that show what you mean…?

[Aleksi]

Well… it’s something that people are not used to use and we don’t have any video. I will make a small sample.

[Accountfix_bank]

Thank you. I will thank you if you send here the link to clip that you do.

Check the the sample app called “ActionDeckView” from www.appsheet.com/portfolio/531778

Very, very cool! I was not aware that this is possible. I copied and studied the app and learned from it that it is possible to “hide” actions in deck view and table view by changing the default action for “Row selected” to a group action and then insert any actions you want to occur in the background before the normal navigation. Great!

I checked out the app out of curiosity but it has actually helped me solve a problem I spent several hours struggling with last night. Thanks!!!

Thank you Aleksi for that sample.
One addition: the delete Action should have the “Only if this condition is true” = [_ROWNUMBER]<>2. So you can not delete the first Deck.

[Aleksi]

True

Hi @Aleksi , Could please provide us the updated link for the sample app or some screenshot to have look around how to add grouped action in deck view, And is it possible to have a group action run on the Boarding view ?

[Aleksi]

You’re welcome
