List display of a single (long) row

Get Help Design

I have a collection with 40+ properties. I want to make a table showing most of the values for one record in the collection, not a list of multiple records.
I don’t see any table format that lets me do this, they all want to show a list of records.
I don’t even see a formatted blank table component, so I started manually making lines of text, with a magic text field for each property of ‘current meal’.

Please tell me there is a better way!

Hi @sdmahaneysc,

Unfortunately there is no way to add text labels for properties automatically. You have to create them by hand.

Best,
Victor.

Thank you for the confirmation.
Now isn’t there a plain table component, so I can get the text bits lined up and spaced without manual nudging?

Hi There!

As Victor said, the only way is doing by hand.
For Alignment and at the same time to save in components quantity, what i do is set the magic tex in the same text box using Shift+Intro to go to the followed line.

@sdmahaneysc you have to do it by hand.
There are some tips what you can do in the editor, after selecting an element:

  • move an element by 1px (up/down/left/right) with the keyboard arrows
  • move an element by 10px with Shift+arrows
  • by pressing three dots on the left pane (top area), choose “Align to Screen” or “Align to Parent”, and then it’s possible to align horizontally or vertically
  • there are additional options there when multiple elements are selected.

You can explore alignment tools here: https://help.adalo.com/design/designing-your-app/alignment-tools.

Also usually you can set element’s width and height (only for some elements): left pane → edit styles at the bottom.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Victor.
