Hi everyone,
I recently installed SeaTable on my own server and I have to say: I’m really impressed so far. I’m seriously considering moving a large part of my business workflows over to SeaTable because the structure, linked tables and app builder already solve a lot of things I was looking for.
However, I have a question regarding Apps and I’m wondering if I’m missing something.
My use case:
I work with clients and often collect information during live conversations. The information does not come in a fixed order (depending on how the client tells their story).
Because of that, a classic form is not ideal for me. A form feels too linear and is better suited for situations where the questions are answered in a fixed order.
The Single Record Page in Apps is actually almost perfect for my use case. I can display one client record beautifully, organize fields into containers, create a visually clean dashboard, and show exactly the information I need during the conversation.
The only issue is editing.
Whenever I want to change something, I have to click “Edit record” first. Then I’m taken back into a more general editing view where I see all fields that can be changed (again in one order). What I would really love is to click directly into a field on the Single Record Page and edit it inline, similar to how editing works when using the Table page type inside an App.
So my question is:
Is there any workaround for this?
Is there another App page type, dashboard setup, or configuration that I might be overlooking?
Thanks a lot in advance for any ideas or recommendations!
