New Template - Retail Task Management

[vchitra]

Hey everyone, we’ve been working on new templates to showcase the depth that can be achieved with the AppSheet platform. 

We created a Retail Task Management template, which contains deeper features and better styling. We also created a user guide to help get started with setting up the template. This will help users get started on a more advanced app without having to deal with complex features like expressions.

We would love for you to check these templates out, copy them and play with them. If you have feedback, we'd love to see it. If you would like to see more of these, do share your use cases, thoughts and ideas!

Overview

Productivity is one of the top challenges in organizations with a front line workforce especially, in the retail industry. After a thorough research, user journeys that are centered around pain points have been built into this template. The template comes with three permission settings / experiences, tailored for SuperAdmin, Manager, and Staff. Ideally, the SuperAdmin will be able to manage permissions for all users of this template.

Looks good, appreciate the hard work behind the scenes

Btw @vchitra, is this your first app?
Not that I want to put you on the spot, I want to genuinely say that you did a good job

[Fabian_Weller]

@vchitra you did a good job. Thank you for sharing. 
Just some small things...

This leads to a blank screen, because the view "Sheet1_Form" does not exist. I think it should be "Sheet1_Form 2".

In Bots, all Processes are named "New process ..." which makes it hard to understand what they are doing. Same to "New step" or "New task ...".

[vchitra]

Good catch on the view name! We most certainly appreciate the feedback. If you have additional thoughts, or perhaps suggestions on use cases, feel free to share them in this thread or update the feedback form.

hi @vchitra its a very great development done by you. I would like to add if we can add such login facility in this app. I am using this in my app.

[SkrOYC]

Why?

[Boul]

Hello vchitra,
Excellent example of a complete application.
I will dig into every aspect of this app.

An example of an application on a single detail screen, a calculator for example, would be of great interest to me.

Thank you for this initiative

Diese Vorlage-App ist leider aktuell nicht kopierbar.

Hi @Tommy62 thanks for bringing this up. This has been fixed for now, we have found the issue and the links will be further updated by tomorrow to reflect a permanent fix.
