Rollout status

Set input values dynamically in data-change actions and tasks You can now set input values dynamically in a data-change action, as follows: When the action is used in the app, display a dialog to prompt the app user to enter values for the specified inputs. See Set input values dynamically for columns in a row by prompting user. When the action is used in an automation, the app creator sets custom input values when configuring the step. See Set input values dynamically when running an action on a set of rows in an automation. When the action is invoked from a Referenced Action (whether in the running app or in an automation), the Referenced Action can specify a binding expression using the input values. See Set input values dynamically when running an action on a set of rows (referenced actions). In addition, when a task is reused in multiple steps in an automation, the app creator can dynamically configure the task for each step by setting input values. See Set input values dynamically in tasks. See also: Community announcement AppSheet Office hours when this new feature was discussed

This update was rolled back for all users to fix an issue.

Description

Feature

AppSheet apps for desktop users (Preview) The new desktop design, currently in preview, is optimized for desktop browsers, presenting a more complete view of information with a consistent organization and structure. The new desktop design lets users navigate their apps more easily and access information in context, and provides an efficient way to edit existing records without losing context. The legacy desktop design, enabled by default, provides an experience similar to the mobile and tablet device. For more information, see: Community article Optimize the user experience using the new desktop design (Preview)

In addition, the AppSheet preview program lets app creators try out new app features that are not yet fully supported. For more details and to opt-in, see AppSheet preview program.
