Display Address, LatLong, and XY values in templates

Display Address, LatLong, and XY values in your templates as described in the following sections:

• Display an Address in a template
• Display a LatLong in a template
• Display an XY in a template

Display an Address in a template

Display an Address in a template by specifying its name.

For example, if your Address column is called Home Address, you can display it as follows:

Name: <<[Name]>>
Address: <<[Home Address]>>

 

An Address is displayed as text by default. You can create a format rule to control how the Address is displayed.

To create a format rule to control the display of the Address column:

1. Open the AppSheet editor.
2. Go to App > Format Rules.
    We've made some improvements to the app editor.
   You are opted in to the new editor by default, but you can switch back to the legacy editor at any time.

   If you are using the legacy navigation

   Go to UX > Format Rules.  
3. Click + New Format Rule.
4. Choose the table containing the Address in the For this data field.
5. Select the Address column in the Format these columns and actions field.
   For example, HomeAddress or _ComputedAddress.

Display a LatLong in a template

Display a LatLong in a template by specifying its name.

For example, if your LatLong column is called Location, you can display it as follows:

Name: <<[Name]>>
Location: <<[Location]>>

 

A LatLong is displayed as a Google Map by default. You can control how the LatLong is displayed using a format rule.

To create a format rule to control how the LatLong is displayed:

1. Open the AppSheet editor.
2. Go to App > Format Rules.
    We've made some improvements to the app editor.
   You are opted in to the new editor by default, but you can switch back to the legacy editor at any time.

   If you are using the legacy navigation

   Go to UX > Format Rules.  
3. Click New Format Rule.
4. Choose the table containing the LatLong column in the For this data field.
5. Select the LatLong column name in the Format these columns and actions field.

Display an XY value in a template

You can display an XY value in a template by specifying its name. An XY is always displayed as text in templates.

For example, if your XY column is called FloorPlan, you can display it as follows:

Name: <<[Name]>>
Floor Plan: <<[FloorPlan]>>

Note: We hope to provide you with the option of displaying an XY value as an image in the future.
