Hi,
Have made great progress with learning Thunkable X but do have a couple of roadblocks. The main one is Custom Data List Viewer. Can anyone point me to a post/video on how this is done on the new platform please? All I have been able to find is Classic row/column scenario’s.
Or is it a Pro item?
Ta
James

Thankyou, have studied this tutorial many times. Cannot find Row, Column or Layout in the new interface. Also cannot find the designer on the projects page.

Yes i didn’t see it either. As far as I can tell, you make a column layout to add more data items from a data source like google. I just did this in fact. For my purpose it worked great.

Where did exactly did you create the a column layout? This is what I cannot find.

Create a blank screen, then add a column. Then add items. These items are you what you map your data to. So if adding from a google sheet with 4 columns, add 4 labels (depending on your data). Now save the data layout. Second button from the left
Next go to the screen you are needing the data, add a data list/grid viewer, select your data source and map the fields. Sorry I am new to thunkable as well but just did this.

The new drag-and-drop interface does not have row and column components. The replacement for those is the “group” component. However, I don’t see a way to create a custom layout from a group component. I did notice that if I add a data viewer grid to a screen, I can select previous custom layouts I created in the legacy interface. But I don’t see a way to create new custom layouts. I think you might have to use the legacy interface for that.

tatiang, Unluckily unable to open classic 😞. I only started this year and presuming that’s why.

I’m not talking about Classic. It’s confusing because Thunkable has always been a drag-and-drop environment but there are currently two interfaces available in Thunkable: “drag-and-drop” which is new, and the “legacy” version which is older.
To use the legacy version when creating a project, do **not** check the “Try it out” box.

Woo Hoo, there’s the missing link. Yes, I did try the new layout first. Many Thanks.
