I believe it would be better in general if the Variables menu were easier to access. Specifically I think it should move into a third tab next to Steps and Records. It would be quicker and easier to use along side the visuals of the app being developed. This would also make them accessible without covering the development area
Thank you for the suggestion @ktoole . I’ll share this with our Design team for review.
Could I ask you for a bit more context – It sounds like you’re frequently accessing the Variables menu, in parallel to the App visuals. Could you share a bit more about your working flow here:
- What are your core use cases for accessing the Variable menu – Are you assessing current variables used in the app, cleaning them up, navigating to Where Used, or something else?
- How frequently are you pulling up the Variable menu while building an App?
- Why is not blocking the App visual important - are you tying variables back to the widgets where they’re used, or another reason?
We’d love to hop on a call with you if that would be easier to discuss your use cases. We can combine this with your other recent Community topic. I sent you a Message to set this up, if that would be interesting!
