Shop Cart 3 - QTY INPUT
How to use INPUT() to ask for value from user
The purpose of this app is to demonstrate how you can make use of INPUT() to get a quantity number from the user, immediately after they add an item to an order.
The "order of operations" is as follows:
1) The user starts a new order; when they save the form, they're dropped into the list of products
2) The user taps a product
3) An Order_Detail record is created in the background for that product, for the building order - which is keeping track of the "last item" added to it
4) On this "last item" we then execute a data-set action with INPUT()
The resulting flow gives the interface:
1) tap a product (to add it to your building order)
2) the system immediately asks "how many"

How we built this app
The app demonstrates how to accomplish two technical skills you'll need in your AppSheet toolbox:
1) How to create a system to find "the last item added to an order"; and
2) How to use INPUT() on that "last item"
