We can add a Google Drive folder as a data source. See this Post.
I thought it would be cool to have the PDF’s thumbnail like we have in Google Drive.
We can do this in AppSheet with Card View and XY column Type.
It will look like this:
Here is how to do it:
Add your Google Drive folder as a new data source with “Documents on Google Drive”. This will generate a virtual table inside your App. In my case I called the table “Formulare”.
Add 3 Virtual Columns to the new created table:
XY(38,19)
is good.Create a Card View
I use LARGE.
Column [Title] for the Title.
Column [Ref_Rows] for the image.
On click: Open File (File)
Create a Map View
Position: Ref
Map column: XY
Hide the XY Map Pin
thanks I tried it and it still works, even if you can’t customize the size of the “thumbnail” easily like with image thumbnail. I wonder if this is still the only way to show pdf thumbnail or if there’s something else
