Drag & Drop Between Views

Hi everybody :slight_smile: I have been working on setting up Coda but am having some difficulty dragging and dropping between different views. I have a database set up for Appointments and want to be able to drag from a Card or Board view into a Calendar view. Sometimes I was able to achieve this, but most of the time it would not let me drag and drop, and I am confused about what the conditions are for it to work. Thanks!

Hi,

Can you please share a doc with the community illustrating the problem?

A table can have many views, and thise views can be table, detail, calendar, timeline etc. It i snot clear what exactly you are trying to do.

It’s trying to do what Notion does, but it’s not possible.

have different views of the same table on the same page.
And take an entity from one view with open status and place it on another status in the other view, for example.

Hi there, thank you both for the responses.

Piet_Strydom, here is the link to a doc: https://coda.io/d/_drDs7kju2Ze/Scheduling_su-3n0t5
On the “Scheduling” page, I have two views of “DB_Appointments,” one as a calendar view and one as a card view. I am hoping to be able to drag and drop entries between the two.

Math_24, so there is no functionality within Coda to do this? I must have been mistaken earlier as I thought I’d had it working at some point. If not, sorry for my confusion!

Edit: To clarify, I am not wanting to use this as a client-facing bookings solution, just for planning where appointments can fit on my end.

Yes, it’s not possible in coda.

HI @Mystic_Moon_Admin

The advice I probably gives most often, and it is sincerely meant - leave Excel, Notion, Word, Access, etc, etc at the door when you start with Coda.

This following thread is a prime example. It is full of complaints by people that want Coda to work like some other package, counterpointed with some really brilliant examples of implementations that leans into the respective strength of Coda and other apps, to build really amazing tools.

Now I am sure you do not want to built what Coda Solutions have built there - what I am trying to say is spent some time to unlearn Notion/ Excel etc, familiarise yourself with Coda, and then build something great… :wink: !

But, its just a ramble,

Thank you for the advice! Being new to coda I am definitely coming in with preconceived expectations from other systems, but I’m certainly willing to take the time to adapt to coda as it is. I appreciate both your responses, have a good weekend :slight_smile:

Thanks for mentioning… to be honest that discussion made me rethink of coda and ill give it 3rd try now and i might get some inspiration from notiom since their usecases are more relevant to what i want to do
