I’ve been trying to do something that seems like it should be super basic. Been watching tutorials and just can’t get it.
I successfully create a data connection to either sheets or airbase (I have been trying both).
I then I go to add Datagrid (also tried table) and instead of giving me the ability to use that connection it just builds the table with some random data. I can not get it to use my data. The tutorials Im watching dont seem to do anything special and their data shows up.
I clicked around on everything that I would think might make the connection. One tut mentioned a little purple thing in the top corner of the table to do it but mine doesnt have that.
When you add a data grid you are likely asked if you want to import variables. This is dummy data though, so if you already have data, be sure to toggle that off.
An empty datagrid should now appear in your canvas, though in my case it had manually defined columns. Anyhoo, in the Settings tab (the sliders icon in the right column) you’ll find the Data attribute which you should be able to bind to your data/collection.
That’s as much as I can help with as I’ve not used this component yet, but familiar enough with WeWeb to help get you this far. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply. I have been able to get that far. I can make the connection to my data source but can’t get it to populate with anything. In the videos that I watch, it just populates with their data so Im stuck there
I went back to playing with this component and it looks like once I press that blue “generate columns” button under the highlighted section in my previous screenshot, it automatically populates everything. Give that a try and let us know if it helps with your progress.
** This is actually pretty slick and might replace a lot of the custom tables I built in the past, though I’ll have to see how much I can adjust to my liking.
That did it. I must have missed them hitting the generate columns button. Thanks.
