How to build your own custom list in Adalo?

 To build your own custom list in Adalo, follow these steps:

Create a New App:

Log in to your Adalo account or sign up if you haven't already.

Create a new app by clicking on the "+ New App" button.

Add a New Collection:

In the left sidebar, click on "Database."

Click the "+ New Collection" button to create a new collection. This collection will store the data for your custom list.

Define Collection Properties:

Define the properties for your collection. For a custom list, you might have properties like "Title," "Description," "Image," and any other relevant data.

Add Data to Your Collection:

After defining the properties, add data to your collection. You can do this manually by entering data one by one or by importing data from a CSV file.

Create a New Screen:

Click on "Screens" in the left sidebar.

Create a new screen where you want to display your custom list. This can be a home screen, a dedicated list screen, or any other relevant location.

Add a List Component:

In your chosen screen, drag and drop a "List" component from the Adalo Components panel onto the screen.

Link the List to Your Collection:

In the right sidebar, you'll see the properties for the List component. Look for the "Collection" setting and choose the collection you created earlier.

Design the Custom List:

Customize the appearance of your list. You can set up the layout, font, and styling to match your app's design.

Add List Items:

In the List component, you can now add list items. For each list item, you can specify which properties from your collection to display (e.g., Title, Description, Image).

Configure Actions:

Set up actions for list items. For example, you can configure what happens when a user taps on a list item, like navigating to a details screen or performing a custom action.

Preview and Test:

Click the "Preview" button to test your custom list within the Adalo editor. Make sure everything displays correctly and that the interactions work as expected.

Publish Your App:

Once you're satisfied with your custom list, you can publish your app by clicking the "Publish" button in Adalo.

Test on Real Devices:

Download the Adalo Preview app on your mobile device to test your app on real devices. This will help you ensure that your custom list functions well on different screen sizes.

Iterate and Improve:

Gather user feedback and make improvements to your custom list and the overall app based on user insights.

Building a custom list in Adalo allows you to display data in a user-friendly and interactive manner. You can create a wide range of custom lists, such as product catalogs, news feeds, event schedules, and more, depending on your app's needs.
