@l__dy_inpublic Hi, yes, you can export collections to CSV, JSON or backup archive. Regards

@CollectionsPDB I just found out about this app and it looks great. Before I buy though, I wanted to ask if you can export collections from the app in any way. Thanks!

Collections 6.4 is now available! ⚡️ Full back feature ➡️ Widgets to show documents or summaries

@Shiivak Hi! Please go to Fields > Your “Name” field > Enable “Show in list”. Regards

@CollectionsPDB Hi! I’m trying to recreate the Authors subcollection in the Books template but when I create a new document it saves as “Document” and not as the author’s name, making it impossible to know which option I’m picking. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

@epochal_S Hi, you can use a view to filter the results. Please create a view, add a date condition > Formula as operator > Create a formula that returns a boolean, e.g. "Date in unit" x.com/CollectionsPDB… Select the view from Summary > [Your Summary] > View.

Thanks for the shoutout!

@sternschuppen Hi! Currently, summaries support just text output (single line), we’re sorry. You can move blocks in a formula with drag and drop, we’ll consider improving them. We’ll also consider custom icons, but SVG support is hard. Best regards

@CollectionsPDB Thanks for the app! I really like it. A few nitpicks: - Summaries of type Decimal number with the option Progressbar/Stars are both bugged and don't display a graphical UI but only numbers - Copy/Paste of formulas would be great - Please let me reorder items inside formulas 😭

Version 6.0 available ✅ Formula editor improvements: drag and drop, undo ↕️ Group documents by value 🔢 Thousands separator 🐞 Bug fixing

@imtseku No, that’s not supported, sorry. You can interact with it only through the app or Apple Shortcuts.

@CollectionsPDB Is it able to use as headless CMS?

@peterabbasi Hi, yes you can link the item to the media with the “Document reference” field, the inverse relationship (accessing items from the media) will be displayed under “Quick filters”.

@CollectionsPDB When creating a 'media library' type of collection, is it possible to link the actual video / image / book file to a collection entry, to allow for accessing items in the inventory?

@dotsona Hi, there are no plans for an Android app, we’re sorry. The app is entirely based on Apple frameworks. Regards

@AayushBhatia06 Hi, you can use the Group field for that. When you open a picture, you can also swipe left or right to browse through them.

@epochal_S Hi, thank you! 1. It's not possible to change field type, we're sorry. 2. Progress bar is not supported in summary, sorry. Could you please share the summary formula? 3. Widgets are not planned but we'll consider them. Please contact us via email for better support!

@anu_realm Hi, thanks for using the app! We'll consider your feedback. - No plans to allow users to save a template. Currently you can use "Duplicate scheme" from More > Edit collection - We'll look into it, though the default iOS tool is quite limited

@CollectionsPDB Hey! Just discovered this amazing app. Playing around with it for couple days. Was wondering, are you planning to: - Make custom template (made a structure that i want to reuse alot in multiple collections) - crop/resize images at upload (default ios thing is fine) Thanks!

@adr0u That’s not possible at the moment, we’re sorry. You can print a collection from More > Share > Print but gallery layout is not supported. We’ll consider your feedback.

@CollectionsPDB Any chance to export in png/jpg a gallery or grid view for databases with thumbnails? pe. a movies grid with titles. Thank you!

@AayushBhatia06 Hi, we’ll consider it. At the moment you could add Integer fields and format them with a formula. Please also note that only the Password field is encrypted and designed to store sensitive data.

Version 5.9.7 available! ⚡️ Improved loading times of the documents list ↗️ Export collections from Shortcuts 📆 New formula "Format date interval" ⚙️ XML Parser for Javascript API 🎨 Set color values from Shortcuts or Javascript 🪲 Bug fixing

@TGCKAA Hi Alex, there’s no action to get the fields list, sorry. We’ve recently added “Update with dictionary” to update values with a single action, maybe it can help you

@ZhengyiYES @chrismessina If you use the Group field with pictures, you can now swipe left or right in the gallery to navigate through them.

@CollectionsPDB @chrismessina Great! By the way, ver 5.9.5, it says 'swipe left-right in the gallery', what does this mean?

We've just (re) launched on Product Hunt 🚀 producthunt.com/posts/collecti… Thanks @chrismessina for hunting us!
