I am reading the same help documentations and was not able to to use the functionality to share the details shown.
I saw this open discussion thread which having similar intention and problem.
My question, how to make the share button to function as intended in the help document:
Okey, I m now on the same page as yours.
Probably we need to understand the bit of โold storyโ how the Appsheet was developed and new feature added.
In this context, let me talk about the main menu etc.
On UX and options we have this setting.
When we turn off, the main menu looks like this.
The share button always the upper left, sync button upper right.
This has been default setting and view, i.e. the share button can not be hidden and always upper left, while sync button always upper right, since Appsheet by nature.
I can not remember when it was, but not long time ago, the Appsheet introduced the new main menu setting, which probably most of user is currently setting up in that way. I mean turn on this setting.
By doing so, the sync button move to upper right, and share button move to Menu.
Then now we are able to utilize the max 5 view on main menu navigation without interrupted by share and sync button any longer after that.
The article you mention about share button seems to be not updated, but written at the time when new setting for main menu navigation bottom bar was introduced. However, it is still valid. Meaning, the share button was located in the upper left on the bottom ALL THE TIME.
Based on that OLD setting, hit the share button. If we are not opening up detail view, the email template body will have sharable link to app . But open up any of detail view, then hit the share button, then you will see the linktorow type of url, iโฆe when the link is opened, then the detail view you are currently opening will open up in the browser.
Make sense?
I suggest you try it out with your hands with your app.
In the meantime, the Appsheet default โshareโ button is just an Action to โstart emailโ technically. If we wish something different with this action, then my belief is we do not necessarily stick with this default button, but manually construct the same action and behaivior.
Thanks for your explanation above. It is clear to me that I mightโve got confused with the functionality of the default share button with reference of to the wording in the help article and a posting also from Praveen in the G+ forum long time back (maybe I should not read that):
It was my understanding that the default share button is already have the capability to share only some portion of data (either by slice or by using smart assistance), so we donโt have to create a new functionality of this share button.
I have tried and confirm that the current share button will only share the App link for installation, even if I am in a slice view.
The initial comment form @CCMET_Metrotesting also indicates that there is this capability before.
I am still confused.
To share the result, I can confirm that it is doable to send portion of information such as pictures below:
