Accessing imported data in google appmaker

Question

I have managed to create a data model, and in doing so import data variables and values from my googlespreadsheets (by clicking on 'import data from sheet'). My table is of the form:

table = {"age": {15,22}, "name": {"ted", "sally"}, "surname":{"anderson","medina"}}

I would like to have a table that uploads this on a page, and then I can click on each row which would then open up another page and I could edit the contents

I open a new page and drag a table in and link it to my data model. However, it only shows the variable titles and not the actual data. How can I get the data to automatically upload into the table?

I read alot of the tutorials but they all assume I want to start with only headers, and then manually input the data to create a data entry table. However, my table updates automatically in googlesheets, so I would like to import it to appmaker, and then have the ability to click on each row and add notes/edits. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! thanks

At this time App Maker doesn't support spreadsheets as data backend. You'll need first import all data to App Maker's models and then play with it in deployed application. You can find all pieces of the puzzle in Vendor Ratings template:
