One Link Sign-up Potluck Customization

One Link Sign-up web application retrieves data based on column letters defined in the configuration. Therefore, all column header names can be customized. Please follow the steps below to set up the potluck sign-up web app:

1. Update Your Sheet Name

    The sheet name (e.g., Potluck Sign-up Example) will be shown in:


    and all page titles within the web app

2. Define Sign-Up (Sign-up Tab)

    Use the Sign-up tab to specify the potluck sign-ups.


    Required Columns:
  • Date: Date and time of the potluck (multiple potlucks can be created)

  • Dish: Name of disk

  • Sign-up: This field is automatically updated by the web app when people sign up

  • I will bring: This is a customizable column—delete or add to collect additional information during sign up. All columns will be shown in the sign-up page.         

 3. Define Potluck Dish Details (Item Tab)

    Use the Item tab to provide the potluck dish details.

  • Needed: Number of the dishes needed. If blank, only one will be displayed for sign up.

  • Contact ID: Email address of the potluck host. Host view via the “Set up web app” function will ensure the sign-on user which has Email address defined in this column can access.

    Field Definitions:

  • Sheet names: Names of the sheets (tabs) in your sign-up spreadsheet

  • Columns: Column letters corresponding to data fields in the Sign-up, Item and Signer tabs

  • Delimiter in view definition: Delimiter used to separate column headers in different views and the optional input sign-up fields (e.g., ;)
