Latest Enhanced Dashboard UX?

[Hong_Yaw_Kuang]

Hi all Appsheet creators,

Yesterday I was watching Appsheet Automation demo video on YouTube, and found the UX presented in the video is excellent, which is not the same level to what I could do now.

Is it for real? Is this the latest capability of dashboard view or other views?

Hi @Hong_Yaw_Kuang,

This view is salesforce lightning.
It looks like the Automation demo was used because it was integrated with salesforce.

In my experience, the UI/UX isn’t that much of a winner compared to the AppSheet dashboard…

Hi Takuya,

So that’s the Salesforce Lighting

But so far my dashboard view is kinda boring, just a lot of table views, so when I look at the video, I was impressed.

Do you use dashboard view as well? Can you share a screenshot with me?

Dashboarding Options With Card Views Tips & Tricks 💡

Just thought of posting use of card views to make useful dashboard reports. There are some challenges, but these are because of extending use of card views for dashboard purpose.

Mobile Dashboard Tabs Tips & Tricks 💡

Dashboard views are great for apps that will be used at the desktop, but when accessing the same app from a mobile device with a smaller screen, the dashboard becomes harder to use. Recently launched ‘Dashboard Tabs’ can be enabled to appear when the screen size of the current device is narrow (usually when opened on a phone or small tablet). To enable, visit the Dashboard view settings and enable ‘Use Tabs in Mobile View’ [image] [Mobile%20Dashboard%20Tabs]

Interactive Dashboard Tips & Tricks 💡

When building Dashboards, make sure you try enabling ‘Interactive’ mode - if your views are built from similar or related tables, they will dynamically change as items are selected.

It’s not a dashboard, but I like it because of its gorgeous gallery view and other features.
Also, AppSheet works after Syncing the data locally, so it is light and nimble.

However, Salesforce dashboards also have many great components.
If you have the time, I recommend you touch Salesforce.
