Creating Buttons for Sections

[curabaysevket]

I created multiple sections on a page. I want to create a button on the right side to open and close each pane. When I press the button, it will open and close the next time I press it. Is there a way to do this?

I have created a checkbox for each pane for conditional co-operation. When you say yes, it shows that pane. when I say no, it hides it. I want to do this with a single button. I hope I was able to explain.

Hi there,

Thank you for your question! Just to make sure I understand correctly:

You have added several sections to your sheet. Right now, you’re using checkboxes and conditional formatting to show or hide each section. You’d like to change this setup so that each section has a button instead. When you click the button, the section would appear or disappear—without using a checkbox.

At the moment, Ragic doesn’t support using a button to show or hide sections. There’s also no built-in way to make sections open or close like that. The method you’re using with checkboxes and conditional formatting is a smart workaround!

We’d love to learn more about how you’re using this. Could you tell us a bit more about:

• Who is using this sheet?
• Why do you want to use a button instead of a checkbox?
• What kind of work are you trying to make easier?

This will help us understand your needs better and consider if this is something we might support in the future.

Thanks again, and looking forward to hearing more.

Have you looked into doing tabs? That is something we use ALL the time now that it is available.

Not sure if I fully understand what you want to display. But in terms of determine whether a certain section need to be displayed.

You can do something like this and use Conditional Formatting to control it with either “Show/Hide” “Show Description/Hide Description” “Show Section/Hide Section” as you like:

To control with the Same Button to Turn On/Off:
You can create a field that is always generating opposite value for updating the Control field.
Then you can use the same button to control Show/Hide.

Field id: 1001480 [Show Section 1]
Field id: 1001489 [Section 1 Value to Update]

To control with Multiple Selection Field to Turn On/Off:

This was very useful for me. Thank you very much for your explanations.
