Hello Thunkable Community! I am trying to re create the dots that most apps have when you click on them it opens a menu of actions. However the catch is I want to be able to do it on a data viewer. At this point its not what pops up (I can customize later) but just that I can do that. Something like this: ![Screenshot_20220504-084159_Instagram](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/b/db53ff46a12a5046d76ccb201c4152b3e00f7d24.jpeg) Then when you click it, it does something like this ![Screenshot_20220504-084211_Instagram](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/3/83ff8b362dd25f9124b5e222201ea16919bf5242.jpeg) ---

What UI platform are you currently using? StP or DnD? It is possible in both but the way to do it is different in each UI. ---

It want it to be apart of the Data viewer, so thay when i click on the dots, it opens a menu of some kind where more actions can take place. ---

For those that are looking for a solution. I think I figured a possible solution. What you do is place a data viewer on a screen then place a group on top so that it looks like this. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/9/09039b8b006209676cb9400abe3a09d6996279d7.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/2/a22479206343dea65b1e213c526bf175d8670357.png) Then you make the group that contains the pop up invisible, and then make the blocks look similar to this. The below allows you click the ellipses it makes the group visible, I made the background of the screen darker so that it increases the contrast between the group and the data viewer. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/a/0adc92bb617f2b975dfbd85ea533cd663fc837f6.png) Thus being able to toggle the “pop up” on and off ![Screenshot_20220619-143348_Thunkable](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/d/0de9b77d9175b67643707b2de99298895a855176.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20220619-143352_Thunkable](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/d/7d183f9b7c80c9b3eb587aa1add03110c2f11c0d.jpeg) ---
