Collapsible Icons overlay Feature Requests

I wish to have collapsible overlay icon/actions For the moment, we are able to set the overlay actions but max 4 icons as far as I m correct, which looks like this. [image] It is understandable somewhat Appsheet put this restriction max 4 otherwise it may disrupt use of app where bunch of icons will start to dominating the space of app views. but sometime, we need the number of action icons more than 4. To introduce better UI/UX, I request new feature of so called Collapsible Icons overlay…

I generated sharable sample app right here.

Using simple technique to toggle show hide action icon based on virtual column value. The challenge is to make this toggle action adhere to the loging user only. If the change in value on certain field is shared across the app users, the action to toggel show/hide is also "shared " across the users, which is a problem.
To solve and make this action assigned to each login user, tricks are kicked in.

On this sample, once the user “show” the action icons, and then change the value on the row, it will automatically toggle the action to hide the list of icon. This is another trick in place.

This toggle “operation” is actually adding/deleting rows with useremail value as child table, but actuall we dont need to interact with backend data base, and could stay as operation on Client (browser) only, like Matt previously highlighted in this FeatureRequest of

Background Variable Table Feature Requests

There are many times when I would love the ability to store a temporary variable somewhere for use during a specific process - like running a report, filtering data using an in-app filtering system, changing a ref connection for a group of records from one parent to another (migrating records), etc. Currently their are two methods to accomplish something like this: UserSettings Create a table/use a column Method #1 The problem with the first is that any changes to UserSettings requires a re…

Those change in table to add / delete are only happens to client side, not being pushed to backend, which will eliminate the unnecesary sync ops which makes App runs faster.

Hi @tsuji_koichi I really like this Tip. The embedded App is broken. It doesn’t show up.

Here I made a Gif from the sample App.

HI @Fabian
Thank you for your comment.
This is just toggling show and hide the inline actions by an action, but it works as alternative option to show the listed actions instantly. Another Appsheet vers of UX.

How do you set it up?

Thanks for calling @Koichi_Tsuji's great tip to my attention. I'm not surprised at all that he posted it years before me (nor that my attempts to search the community for something like this didn't surface it before I went ahead and posted mine).
