I’m working on a hospital appointment manager app for school. I’m using airtable for the back end.
On airtable I have a patient table, and an appointment table. The appointment table is a list of all the available appointments, with each appointment being linked to a patient by means of the patient ID (primary key).
I have been trying to use list viewers to list the dates and times of all the appointments by patient ID. I have tried using the ‘temporary list’ method but to no avail (screen remains blank when I run it), and I’ve also tried using the ‘change view’ feature for airtable (to pull pre-filtered data directly from airtable), but the feature doesnt seem to work either.
You’ve explained the problem clearly but provided no examples of how you’ve actually set up anything. Please include screenshots of your blocks and/or a link to the project (and specify which screen you are referring to).
Those blocks look correct to me. Are you able to get individual values from that Airtable database from within Thunkable? That is, separate from your loops and just as a debugging step, can you access something like the ID value for the first row (819472M)? What about the Data/Time value for the first row (1/4/2022)?
It’s best to make sure you can get something really simply to work with Airtable (or any data source) before trying to do something complicated. Otherwise, you introduce too many variables that could be causing the problem.
From your previous screenshots, ID is not a column in the table you are using. It is a reference column and Airtable treats it differently.
Use this block with a column from the table and it should work.
The other issue, you are using the Airtable component which requires the table name to be written as text in the component properties so make sure you spelled it correctly and using the correct case because it is case sensitive.
It would be better to use the Data Source connection to connect to you table because it is easier to test.
