First of all, thank you for taking the time to try to understand my request in very broken English. I’m using a translator because I’m not confident enough in my language skills for such a complicated subject.
Secondly, I will try to explain my problem in the best possible way, but I may get lost in my explanations, I’m sorry for that.
Thanks again for your help.
I’m a New Grist user, I’m learning how to use the tool. I don’t know python, but I’m trying.
I’m stuck
I have a set of “distributors” data (1 on fig. global) :
Last name, first name, address, e-mail, etc.
I’ve managed to make a selection view. I’m not sure that modifying the form fields also modifies the dataset. (I’ve added a formula to have a full name column (f“{$Firstname} {$LASTNAME}”).
I’ve added a form, to be able to modify the dataset more easily as in the tutorial (2 on fig. global).
In part 3 on fig. global, I’d like to have the list of linked businesses (fig. on business-dataset).
I therefore have a second “shopkeepers” dataset. It includes the fields shown in 3 on fig. global. I can’t transform the “distributor” column in this dataset(fig. on business-dataset) into a selection view.
That is, I’d like all the stores assigned to the person in the Distributors dataset to be displayed when I select the person in the Distributors dataset.
I don’t know if I’ve made myself clear…
Thanks in any case for reading and for your time.
I have to many lines for change manually the attribution.
But I’m missing the printing part, which is really not great. Isn’t there a way to adjust the layout of the lists you want to print?
For example, a button that lets you print the person’s file as a header and then the list without having the checkmarks and all the default formatting. A layout that could be adjusted?
I’d also like to add a filter so that when you press it, you get the emails of the people to contact.
For example, if a group wants to receive preparation invitation emails, in my filter at the top left, I select the bolean True for the “preparation” data and then press another button to copy the emails to me for sending.
I really need something very simple, because the people who are going to use the tool aren’t familiar with the web and dashboards.
Printing in Grist is not something I have figured out as yet unfortunately, it does sound like what you need is more like a custom report that integrates a print option. I am working on something like this but I am just modifying the custom invoices widget provided by Grist. It sounds like the ‘Print labels’ widget could work for you. You can see more about custom widgets at:
I remember watching a video where they enabled an email option by making a link from a formula. Let me check see if I find it and share.
