SheetApps User Guide

Using a generated app

Open an app from My Apps. Each form has a records grid; use New record to add entries through the generated form, which enforces your rules and runs formulas as you type. Calculated fields are read-only.

• Switch between forms. A multi-form app shows each form as its own page — pick one at the top.
• Audit columns change_date and changed_by are filled automatically and aren't editable.
• The grid shows the first six fields by default — use the Columns menu (with its search box) to toggle any field on or off.
• Press Ctrl K (or ⌘ K) to jump to record search from anywhere on the page.
• Dropdown fields pull their options from your lookup tables.
• Every record keeps a change history — open a record and click History to see who changed what, and when. Sensitive fields show as changed without revealing their values. Admins set how long history is kept (and can purge it) from the Housekeeping tab in the Admin console.
• Switch the grid between List view and Tile view with the toggle beside Columns. A tile leads with the record's image, then its key field, then the next few visible columns. The image shows while the Image column is ticked in Columns — untick it to drop the picture. The key field is always shown and marked with a key icon. Your choice of view is remembered for that app.
