Go to another view And Go to a external Website

[Miguel_Azevedo]

In the appsheet I created a table called MENU

TABLE FIELDS:

IDMENU - Type text
MENU - Type text
ICONE - Type Image
VISUALIZACAO - Type text

VIEW: MENU
For this data: MENU
View type: Galery
Event Actions: IR_MENU

ACTIONS:

Action name: IR_MENU
For a record of this table: MENU
Do this: App: go to another view within this app
Target: LINKTOVIEW([VISUALIZACAO])
Position: Inline
Attach to column: VISUALIZACAO

In other words, in VISUALIZACAO there will be the name of other views, and when I select one of the options, I will be directed to the view I defined.

However, currently in my Menu table I have 3 lines with information, that is, there are 3 buttons in my MENU view.

Two test buttons will direct to the views I defined. But I wanted to do something different with the third button: I wanted it to direct me to a link on the internet.

IDMENU	MENU	ICONE	VISUALIZACAO
1	Questionário	MENU_Images/p6Ayf_ALFj4KIpbj0mYFRf.ICONE.181733.png	QS_Dados
2	Médico	MENU_Images/BZ3XgtreE74bQmUEHlR_Hc.ICONE.181839.png	Médico_Dados
3	Google	MENU_Images/jMp4p6JGmG4Q6cBDciR6F7.ICONE.185621.png	https://www.google.com

Example: I want the third button to take me to the link www.google.com when I click on it.

How do I do this?

here’s how I do it

I have 3 actions for MENU

action “open_url”
do this : “external : go to a website”
target : visualizacao
position : hide
behaviour only if this condition = true
test if visualizacao is a valid link

action “open_view”
do this : “linktoview”
target : LINKTOVIEW([VISUALIZACAO])
position : hide
behaviour only if this condition = true
test if visualizacao is not a valid link

action IR MENU :
do this : “Grouped : execute a sequence of action”
action1 : “open_url”
action2 : “open_view”
Position : Inline
Attached to column : VISUALIZACAO

there are various ways of testing whether it’s a url or not.

Hi @Miguel_Azevedo

Here is my suggestion:

• create two columns, one for internal view name, the other for external link

• use a sequence of actions, one to open the internal view name, the other to open the external link

Here is in image my suggestion (tested, it works)

Table structure

Table settings (add a virtual column)

with expression:

"#view="&[internal_viewname] 

Action setting

View setting

Result
