Dashboard with Primary Action on mobile browser

[Fabian_Weller]

We can use Overlay Actions in a Dashboard view like this Add Acion:

Note: To get this we have to enable it under: Settings > Views: View type options > Show primary actions in dashboards.

But on mobile browser we have to scroll all the way down to see the action:

I've sent this also to AppSheet Support.

I think this is the expected result because you are scrolling multiple views vertically. Have you tried turning on 'Use tabs in mobile view'?

Oh yeah you're right @JuneCorpuz this was my mistake. When we have multiple views, we also have multiple Add Actions. So the App would show all Add Actions in the bottom right corner. And that would be confusing.

I already have 2 identical views: One for Browsers and one for Devices. I control this via "Show if": CONTEXT("Host") = Browser and CONTEXT("Host") = Device.
In the Browser version I have enabled Interactive mode.
In the Device version I have enabled Use tabs in mobile view without Interactive mode.

This is working fine when users use Desktop Browsers or the AppSheet App on their Device.
But if one uses the App on a mobile Browser, then he get's the Browser version and the problem is as in my first post.

I now think the problem is, that we cannot tell the App that the Context is a mobile device, even if we use a browser. This would solve the problem.

This was the response from AppSheet Support:

Hi Fabian,
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We got an update from our specialists and they said, CONTEXT("device") will return browser if the app is running on a browser, regardless if it's a desktop browser or a mobile browser. This is working as intended.
We can take this as a feature request and you will get the updates regarding our new releases over community announcements.
In case of any further issues you can feel free to contact us.
Thanks,
AppSheet support team
