GoogleMap Widget is not loading the coordinates - google-app-maker

I have a simple relationship
companies - contacts
addresses
locations
The details (contacts, addresses, locations) are on a separate page. Each of these details is a specific table. For locations, I have added a little google icon that opens up a map widget in a separate dialog/window. The separate dialog where google map widget is tied to locations datasource. It should be tied to the specific location row the user clicked on.
The details page is based on companies and each of these details is a table based on contacts/addresses/locations.
Is there a way for me to tell appmaker to use that specific location when the icon is clicked on? I am not sure how it manages to tie the location from a specific company to the dialog. I am guessing it does not.

When user clicks the location icon the click event should be propagated to the row and the row with location you need should be selected. It means that you can achieve desired behavior just by playing with bindings. In theory something like this should make a trick:
// binding for latitude
#datasources.Company.relations.Locations.item.Latitude
// binding for longitude
#datasources.Company.relations.Locations.item.Longitude

Removing focus from first record in table widget?

I have a page with the table widget. One the page is open, first record in the table is in focus and highlighted. Is is possible to remove focus from the first record? I would like users to search for records before anything (from the table widget) is highlighted.
You cannot remove the default behavior of selecting the first row of the table when it gets loaded; However, if you pretend to only show data after the user starts searching for information, then you might as well not load any data. For that, you will need to uncheck the "Automatically load data" option form the datasource. See picture below:
Then, what you want to do is load data after the user searches for something.

Prevent user from creating an event unless a certain word is in the title full calendar

I wanted to allow the user to only create events if they include a certain variety of words, e.g the selection of available words would be Sarah, Kate, and Helen, and if the user typed in Joe then an error would appear.
Ideally my goal is to have a dropdown menu that a user selects a title from, but I don't think you can add dropdowns to a full calendar.

Changing the function of dynamic links in info parts

I am trying to let an info part's dynamic link work so that it only opens the queried values in a list on the new form.
Basically now, if i click Installation No. on the form part below.
Then this form opens up with all the Installations, not only the related Installations.
What i want to happen is when the Installation No is clicked then the list should look like when the "more" button is clicked or like the image below.
It seems like this is the standard function but i want to know if there is a way to change it.
Does anyone know a solution to this or know if there is any?
Dynamic links should work on info part forms provided prerequisites are met:
A data relationship exists between two tables, usually as one-to-many (one parent row relates to many child rows).
Each table has a field of the same extended data type.
In the parent table, the extended data type field values uniquely identify each row.
The extended data type has a relation defined on it for the field in the parent table.
Each table is a data source for one of the two forms.
The parent form contains a button that launches the child form.

Is it possible to view a specific event in Google Analytics?

We are using Google Analytics to track when a user presses the delete button on our site. The event looks like this:
/*
Category is "User_Images
Action is delete. e.g. they clicked the delete button
Label is "username:bob". So we know it was bob's fault
value is 7. bob deleted 7 images
*/
_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "User_Images", "delete", "username:bob", 7]);
I can't figure out how to drill down to a specific event. The farthest I can go is to drill down to the summary for a specific user.
But I want to see a specific event. That is, I want to know how many images bob deleted per event. Is this possible?
You can set the secondary dimension (or even primary dimension) to be any of category, action, or label, and then find your specific event. Probably should create a custom report using the c, a, and l as dimensions, and total events as the metric.

Need tips for better usability for tabular data with pagination

Just another day i found myself writing code to show data on the UI.
I am again using DataGrid/GridView (ASP.NET),
User Id as link button (clickable) to redirect user to another page.
User having hard time to find where to click(Though the link has underline and hand pointer as usual on hover)
just another common table like structure
Following are the columns for example,
User ID (Link button), User Name, First Name, Last Name, Date Of Birth
Now i would like to make it better form the usability point of view. Can someone suggest a good link, example or suggestions to make it better.
Thanks all,
how about changing the user id column to a button to make it more clear that it's clickable?
you could also add a new button/link column that says "edit" or "view" instead of making the user id the link to the next page.
