You could have a much cleaner interface if you have a native section divider option with the ability to expand and collapse the section when editing an item, this is an alternative to having tabs in the items.

  Hi Bassam,

  Thanks for your feedback!

  You can expand and collapse fields depending on if they are filled in using the 'Hidden if empty' function (https://help.podio.com/hc/en-us/articles/202482408-Showing-or-hiding-fields-in-an-app).

  For used fields and applying a divider you can look into using a calculation field and add this:

  var blank = @somevariable
  'Name of section\n===\n---\n'

  You can currently not elapse these though. Maybe considering adding some data in another app and link it in via a relationship field would be the neatest way for you if the app template feels to bulky.

  Please feel free to get in touch with us in a private support ticket at support@podio.com and we can have a closer look at your specific case and give further, more pointed tips for you :-)

  Thank you your insight, I have already started using the section divider for a clearer view within an item when there are a lot of items, but a I hope to see someday a tab feature or sections that collapse and expand as I feel it would result in a clearer view to the users.

  Hi Charlie,

  I like your tips and am using them.

  However, I do believe that the apps still would look much cleaner and be much more usable, both during edit and while reviewing the information, if Bassam's recommendation was used.

  I independently had the same thought and decided to search to see if it already had been recommended before posting my own feature request.
