Filters
Visible Filters
Give users the ability to filter the data in your Table with select dropdowns and other input fields.
Hidden Filters
If you need to limit the data a user can see in your app based on who is logged in, you can create a Hidden Filter using custom user fields.
With this simple feature, you can build a dynamic application that shows different data to different users, while keeping all data in a single sheet.
Example: Your company has three distinct teams accessing the same page, but you want them to only view the records that relate to their team.
Actions
Record Click Action
Define the functionality for when a user clicks on a specific record (row) in your Table. There are 4 options: Default Detail View, Custom Detail View, Custom Action, and None (no action).
Custom Action
When you choose the 'Custom' Record Click Action, you will see the Custom Click Action setting, allowing you to define a custom action to be triggered when a specific record (row) in your Table is clicked.
Show Create Action
If enabled, a button will appear in the top right corner of your Block container, allowing users to trigger a 'Create New Record' view where they can add new records to the spreadsheet linked to this block. Newly created records will appear in the Block immediately once created.
Row Actions
Define multiple custom actions to appear in a dropdown menu in each Table row.
