Course outline
Module 1: Introduction to AppSheet
This module introduces AppSheet as a “nocode” app development platform which allows users to create mobile, tablet, and web applications using data sources like Google Drive, DropBox, Office 365, and other cloud-based spreadsheet and database platforms
• The No-Code Solution Concepts
• Connecting to Data Sources
o Spreadsheets
o Cloud
o Databases
• Using the AppSheet Editor
o Basic Editor
o Advanced Editor
• Adding tables in the Editor
• Adding, Update and Delete data to tables
Module 2: Modeling Tables and Columns
Behind the scenes AppSheet create apps from data intuitively. To get the most out of AppSheet, it is advisable to organize your data in a business-friendly manner. This module walks through the process of organizing and managing the business design of your data so you can develop more compelling apps.
• Data Concepts
o Database Designs
o Table Designs
• Column Types
• Records
• Entities
• Relationships
• Attributes
• Expressions and Expression Types
Module 3: App Design
This module introduces Appsheet methodologies used to reduce the cost and time to build apps through a combination of simple steps.
• The AppSheet Model
o Anatomy of an AppSheet App
• Define your entities
• Working with Patterns
o Item/Detail
o Lookup/Dropdown
Module 4: Define the UX of your app
The UX definition describes what is shown to the app user as well as how it is shown (the user interface). This module identifies the use of AppSheet Views to visualizing your data in a variety of ways and how you can select a view type by clicking on a particular table in the UX window.
• App Views and View Types
o Form View
o Detail View
o Calendar View
o Map Views
o Deck Views
o Gallery Views
o Chart Views
• Customizing Input Forms
• Managing Multi-Page Forms
• Capturing Images
• Displaying images and documents
• Branding
• Working with PDF Files
Module 5: App Behaviors
Appsheet app displays data, allows the user to navigate, capture and add to the data, and sync the data with the backend spreadsheet. While there are default behaviors for all aspects of this process, the app creator needs to know how to modify and refine these behaviors.
• Static vs dynamic behavior
• Creating Custom Actions, Buttons & Links
• Workflows
• Syncing App Data
Module 6: App Security
The app creator must decide how to design an app to be secure and accessible only to specific users or open to all users. The AppSheet backend does not maintain its own user authentication i.e. it does not maintain a database of usernames and passwords. Instead, all user authentication utilizes external user authentication services like Google, Office365, Dropbox, Box, or Smartsheet, using the OAuth protocol.
• Authentication and Authorization in AppSheet
• Domain Integration
• Security Filters
• Encrypting Data
Module 7: Deploying and Managing Apps
Deploying represents a major milestone in app development. However, the app developer needs to learn about the different aspects of app deployment.
• User Invitations
• Install AppSheets apps on Devices
o White-labelling your app for Android and IOS
• Notifications & Announcements
• Un-deploying Apps
• Managing Apps
o Customizing the editing process
o Authoring and co-authoring apps
o Transferring apps between users
o Moving apps between providers
• Monitoring Apps
o Usage Statistics
o Audit History
o Performance Profile
Module 8: Incorporating Machine Learning in AppSheets
Machine learning and AI-forward functionality further simplifies app creation and enriches the end-user experience. Now that you have seen how easy it is to iterate without any coding, this section will assist in visualizing ways that you can integrate machine learning into your processes and workflows to make better decisions and figure out the best way forward.
• OCR
• Predictive Models
o Trend Predictions
o Sentiment Analysis
o Data Extraction
o Content Classification
