Hi,
i’m new in adalo and asking for help. Cant find any tutorial/video how to link list items, in my case 6 to different 6 screens. All list items are directed to one screen. I watched dozens of videos, no one shows how did they do it. Maybe because of my poor English skills I’m entering the wrong keyword in my searches. Can anyone navigate to that decision?
Hi @donis,
Welcome to the forum!
Firstly - why do you want to connect 6 list items to 6 different screens?
Usually this is not needed. The “Lists” Adalo concept assumes that on one screen you have a list of records from a collection, link this list to the 2nd screen, and then you display current record on this 2nd screen.
As you’re new in Adalo, let me provide a simple example. Imagine you have a collection of Fruits with records: Apple, Orange, … . Your goal is to allow your users to view list of Fruits and to view each Fruit details.
Of course you don’t need to create a separate screen for each Fruit (moreover, it is useless as you can’t know how many items will you have in Fruits collection). Instead, you do as I’ve described before:
- create 2 screens: “Fruits list” and “Fruit details”
- add a list to this screen, make it a list of Fruits
- to a list (or to some element inside the list) you add a link action to Fruit details screen
- on Fruit details screen, you will have “Current Fruit” data available. This means that when you add an element to this screen, you can display current fruit’s data. E.g. you can add a text label and display Current Fruit → Name.
If in your case you absolutely need 6 different screens (so it’s not displaying current record), then maybe you don’t really need a list?
Best,
Victor.
Thank you @Victor for explanation, how it generaly works. It help a lot, going to continue studying
There are some cases were you want to redirect users to multiple pages from one list.
Here is how I did it:
On the Screen list make this click actions (You have to add 6 different actions):
-
Click Action: Link to Screen 1.
Show Advanced >> When does this happen? >> Sometimes >> This action will only happen if… Current “Listname” > “Name” is equal to “Name of the list item” -
Click action to add another action: Link to screen 2.
Show Advanced >> When does this happen? >> Sometimes >> This action will only happen if… Current “Listname” > “Name” is equal to “Name of the other list item” -
Click action Link to screen 3.
Show Advanced >> When does this happen? >> Sometimes >> This action will only happen if… Current “Listname” > “Name” is equal to “Name of the 3rd list item”
You have to create a Name in your Fruits collection.
eg.
Collection: Fruits
Name1: Apple,
Name2. Orange
Name3: Cherry
You can redirect each to a different screen with the method written above.
- Click action link to “Screen Apple”
Show Advanced >> When does this happen? >> Sometimes >> This action will only happen if… Current “Fruits” > “Name” is equal to “Apple” - Click action link to “Screen Orange”
Show Advanced >> When does this happen? >> Sometimes >> This action will only happen if… Current “Fruits” > “Name” is equal to “Orange” - Click action link to “Screen Cherry”
Show Advanced >> When does this happen? >> Sometimes >> This action will only happen if… Current “Fruits” > “Name” is equal to “Cherry”
I hope this helps!
