How to create a View Form through collection data?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 383

I created a Shopping Cart gallery from a collection, which works, but I want the user to be able to click on the individual items within the shopping cart to see more detailed information regarding their order.

 

When I try to create a view form from the collections, none of the fields appear. It says no fields when I select the collection as the data source, but the gallery worked fine. 

 

Any ideas why this is happening? Can form controls use collections?

    Hi @Kirsten2 ,

    Forms cannot use Collections as a Data Source, but you can work around this if you only want to view the item and you do not actually need a Form - just put controls on the screen with the appropriate

    GalleryName.Selected.FieldName

    and you can display whatever detail you need.
