Adding a "second" linked details page?

Hello. I’m using a free Softr plan to test out integration with Smartsuite and I’m having some trouble with creating a linked table within a record details page.

Basically what I have is a list of projects → opens up a details page → i want to have a button that opens another “details” page from a linked table. This works fine if I have the linked table on the same page, but when i try to create a new page and link it i dont get any option to link fields.

I try to create a new details page but after setting everything up, it doesnt give me the option to link to the other page or table. Anyone have suggestions? Or is this not possible?

Hi there,

In order to access data for the record details, you need to have a details block on that page configured to the table that you would like to access.

In some cases, you can use a details block to satisfy this condition, but only show basic text in that details block to make it seem like it’s something else, while giving you more control here.

Hope this helps!

Okay, yeah it works as long as its on the same page. So this doesn’t work with two different pages?

I’m looking to do the same thing as you’ve done in your template “Client Portal”.

I can’t link any other “pages” as shown in the template?

What am i missing here?

Ah! I have an entire “How to” series coming out that shows step by step how to build this custom portal.

But what you’re missing here is that when trying to navigate to another “details page”, that page needs to have that “Details block” on that page, configured to the data source you’re looking for.

So for example, you need to create another page for “weekly updates” and put a details block on that page calling the “weekly updates” table. Then, in the open details block, “weekly updates” page will become an option to link to.

Make sense?

Ahh I see! Makes complete sense now. That was the missing key. Thank you!
