Toggles

Toggles can be used to control T/F Properties or Relationships or records in your Adalo Collections.

Overview

Toggles are a type of button that let your users quickly update data in your app. There are two common uses for toggle:

• Update a True/False property of a record

  • e.g. if your Users collection has an "Is Admin" property or if your Trips collection has an "Is Draft" property

  • Clicking the toggle will update whether the Trip the user is viewing is a draft or not.

• Update the relationship between two records

  • e.g. if your Trip collection has a relationship property called "Travel Party" that relates to multiple user records

  • Clicking the toggle can update whether the Logged In User is a member of the Travel Party or not
