Basic List (Flex AppBlock)

This type of Flex AppBlock lets you create a basic list of contents by uploading a CSV file, importing through an API, or creating a list of items manually in AppOffice.

 

When a Flex AppBlock is set to Basic, it will always have these canvas types:

Depending on how you answer the questions on the Configuration page, it can also have these canvas types:

When the app user goes to this AppBlock, if there are no published or active records at that time, it will display the Empty List View.

If there is at least one active record, it will display the Folders View (if the AppBlock uses folders) or the List View.  If the AppBlock uses folders, the List View will be shown when the app user navigates to a childless folder (one with no folders "below" it).

 When the app user taps a row on the List View, it will take him to the Detail View.

If you allow the app user to add or edit content items, then you will have an Input View.  You must add an action button to allow the user to get to the Input View.  For adding a new item, use the Add Item action button on the List View.  For editing an existing item, use the Edit Item action button on the Detail View.

On the Input View, you definitely want to use the Save Item action button.  You might want to use the Cancel and Reset Form action buttons as well.
