Lesson 4: References, Actions, Buttons, Views (AppSheet Tutorial - No Coding Needed!)

Full Course Outline and Materials Available Here: https://www.firesofalchemy.com/appsheet-tarot-app In this lesson, we upgrade our tarot app by replacing image links with a high-quality Rider-Waite-Smith deck from the Internet Archive, fix missing court cards, and then build a brand-new Readings table. You’ll learn how to reference cards from your deck, set up a readings view, and start creating an action button that pulls random cards. This is the foundation for making your app actually give readings. 00:00 Intro 00:03 CC0 Creative Commons Images 02:22 Replacing Image Filenames 03:57 Revisiting Join Function 07:54 Adding Readings Feature 09:21 Adding New Data to Appsheet 10:15 EnumList Type and References 11:20 Adding a New View 12:22 Suggested Values Formula 14:14 Working Pulled Cards List 15:55 Adding an Action Button 18:00 Changing Column Displayed Name 19:22 Adding Action Button Formula 20:32 Get Help with Formula Expressions 21:15 Using INDEX expression 23:00 Working Random Pull Card Button 23:55 Expanding Our Button Formula 25:50 Troubleshooting Formula Expression 32:13 Fixed Button to Pull Multiple Cards You may purchase direct access to the project to support future lessons.
