Why does my new app start empty?

This is expected. SheetApps treats your workbook as a blueprint / design specification: it reads the sheets to work out your forms, field names, data types, dropdown lists and rules. The cell values are only samples used to guess each field's type — they are not loaded as records, so a brand-new app starts with no data.

Enter your data using Forms

• Open the app and go to Transaction Data and select the form.
• Enter values and check for errors.
• Create Record
• Repeat the steps for additional record entries.

Load your data

• Open the app and go to Import.
• Upload a workbook (or CSV) whose columns match the form's fields.
• Review the preview and confirm.

Tip

• If your app defines a key (and optional sub-key), importing the same key again updates that record instead of creating a duplicate.
