Selecting 1 of 2 views in an action

BobG · 06-09-2020 07:24 AM

I have a Work Ticket table with a column for work groups and slices for each group. When a ticket status is updated to complete on a WT Log I can update the main Work Ticket table status but want to have the next workflow action go to the slice view for the specific users’ work group. I don’t see how I can use and IF expression to do this. Or is there another way ?

To be clear, a workflow cannot navigate the user anywhere: a workflow is performed on AppSheet servers, not on the user’s device, and so has no opportunity to navigate the user. An action, though (one not being performed within a workflow), can navigate the user to another view. So what you need is an action attached to a button the user presses, or attached to a form the user completes. Either of those can navigate.

To navigate the user to a particular view within the app, use an action of type App: got to another view within this app, with a Target expression that uses a LINKTO…() function to indicate the desired view. You may use an IF() expression within the Target expression to choose the desired view:

IF(
  ("complete" = [status]),
  LINKTOVIEW(
    LOOKUP(
      USEREMAIL(),
      "Users",
      "Email",
      "Workgroup View"
    )
  ),
  LINKTOVIEW("Work Ticket Table")
)
