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:

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

1. Open the AppSheet editor.
2. Go to the UX > Format Rules tab.
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.
6. Choose one of the following for Image format under Template format:
   Large: Display as 1000 x 1000 image

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

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.

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.
