Custom Overlay actions on Deck View

[psfulgham]

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 view functionality.

This is a fairly old request but I think it’s still valid. I made a similar request:

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,…

Today I made an overlay action and it appeared in deck view! This time I had to use context(“ViewType”) to hide it. But, at any rate, this feature request seems to have been granted.

Unless I’m mistaken, a Feature Release Note hasn’t been written about this yet.
