How to create a task management app in Adalo?

Step 1: Set Up a New Adalo Project

  1. Head over to the Adalo website and sign up if you haven't already.
  2. Hit the "Create New App" button.
  3. Pick a template that suits your needs best (starting with a blank app gives you more freedom).

Step 2: Define App Structure

  1. Click on the "Database" icon in the sidebar to get to the database section.
  2. Create a new collection for tasks and call it "Tasks."
  3. Add these properties to the "Tasks" collection:
  • Title: Text
  • Description: Text
  • Due Date: Date & Time
  • Status: Option (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done)
  • Priority: Option (e.g., Low, Medium, High)
  • Assigned User: Relationship (Users Collection)

Step 3: Build the User Interface

  1. Go back to the main design area.
  2. Add screens for different purposes:
  • Home Screen
  • Task List Screen
  • Task Detail Screen
  • Create/Edit Task Screen
  1. Add navigation buttons to move between screens.

Step 4: Create the Task List Screen

  1. Drag a Simple List component onto the Task List Screen.
  2. Set up the Simple List component to pull data from the "Tasks" collection.
  3. Map the fields like this:
  • Title: Task's Title
  • Subtitle: Task's Due Date or Priority
  1. Set up actions for the list item:
  • When clicked, navigate to the Task Detail Screen and send the current task's data.

Step 5: Build the Task Detail Screen

  1. Add Text components to show the task details.
  2. Bind the Text components to the corresponding fields from the "Tasks" collection.
  3. Add buttons for editing and deleting the task.
  • Edit Button navigates to the Create/Edit Task Screen with the current task data.
  • Delete Button sets up an action to delete the task from the "Tasks" collection.

Step 6: Implement the Create/Edit Task Screen

  1. Add input fields for the task properties:
  • Text input for Title
  • Text input for Description
  • Date picker for Due Date
  • Dropdown list for Status
  • Dropdown list for Priority
  1. Bind these input fields to the task properties.
  2. Add a Save button:
  • Configure this button to update an existing task or create a new task, depending on the screen's context (Edit or Create).
  1. Add a Cancel button to navigate back to the Task List Screen without saving changes.

Step 7: Set Up User Authentication

  1. Enable the Users Collection in the database.
  2. Add sign-up and login screens to enable user authentication.
  3. Configure forms on these screens to create new users or authenticate existing ones.
  4. Make sure the app navigates to the Home Screen upon successful login.

Step 8: Deploy and Test the App

  1. Test the app thoroughly in Preview mode to ensure all functionalities work as expected.
  2. Make any necessary adjustments based on your tests.
  3. Once satisfied, publish the app by clicking on the "Publish" button.

By following these steps, you can create a fully functional task management app in Adalo, complete with task creation, editing, viewing, and user authentication features.
