1. How to Hide Columns in Submissions View

Once you have created an app and submitted some data, you can access and view your submissions. There are instances where certain fields or columns may not be required or are unnecessary to be seen when viewing all submissions together.

Once you have created your app, and submitted some data, navigate to the Submissions tab to view all submissions. Let’s say, for example, the ‘Submission ID’, and ‘Owner’ columns are not required in the desktop view.

Steps to hide columns in Submissions Tab

  • Under the Design App tab, navigate to Configurations -> Data View. On the right panel, you will be able to select the columns that need to be seen in the Submissions tab. You can do this for both the desktop view and the mobile app.

  • Simply select the columns that you want to be displayed. So lets say in the desktop view, ‘Submissions id’, ‘owner’ and ‘comments’ are unselected. Then click on Apply or the ‘tick mark’ icon at the top to save it.

FAQs
Is it possible to edit image entries in mobile after a submission has been made?

Yes, it is possible to modify image entries after submission on mobile, provided the user has edit permissions. Additionally, the app admin needs to enable the Allow changing files after initial submission option under the Advanced Options of the Camera, Images & Files block configuration. With this setting enabled, users can add, replace, or delete images in their submissions on mobile even after the submission has been completed.

Can you add or delete images from previous online submissions in mobile?

In Clappia, you can use the Calculations & Logic Block to automatically retrieve the signed-in user’s name. Within this block, type @current user name or @submitter name to access the name associated with the user’s email or phone number in the workplace. This variable pulls the user’s information directly from their Clappia profile, allowing for seamless integration of user-specific details into the app.
