Ah, excellent, I was wondering if someone had started a thread for that. I will do that next.

Interactive Table. You guessed right. Sorry I forgot the name and there are a lot of things (too many, I think) called “Tables.”

OK, so I need to back up because I think I led you down the wrong path.

1. Our BOM info is in our ERP, and I am gung ho about keeping it there and not in a Tulip Table.
2. Our ERP (Epicor) uses REST, so I am making the connectors REST-based, and I have become pretty good at that, I think.
3. So my Interactive Table is populated from a Variable output of a Connector
4. Plan is, click on a row in the Interactive Table and **open a specific Tulip App based on the row selected**

I got through step 3.

Here is the snag: I need to look up what the app name is.

We have a Tulip Table that cross-references these pieces of info (“KitID” to App name). But how do I call to it?

I made a query on the Tulip Table to use app input and return only one row. But can I call that query from an app? (It sure sounds like it…)
