How to enter data without using forms

How to enter data such as market rate, that has to be entered only once a day when app starts, but is required for calculations in each records.

My first idea is to

  1. Create an update only table with date,market rate columns, and only one row. It will also be quick editable , with a detail view created. Maybe even a virtual column to display a conditional message
  2. Starting view of the app will have a formula to display the detail view of the first table in case that date column is not equal with today() and hide your usual starting view. Otherwise , to hide the first detail view,and show your usual view

Another solution could be to make use of usersettings

Hello @jovish_jose

Youโ€™ll want to take a look at the background record creation action, along with scheduled reports.


Combined together you can create your record (or update values in a table, if you use another data action type) that runs on a schedule.

Iโ€™ve got a crypto investing app that Iโ€™ve built that pulls in prices on a schedule; kinda sounds like what you are shooting for.
