Item on Click Actions

Setting actions on item click.

This category in the Actions tab of block settings lets you specify what happens when a user clicks on an item in your data representation (List, Calendar, and other blocks).

Apart from the default Do Nothing option, there are the following three options:

  • Open Page. Opens another page within your Softr app.

  • Open Url. Opens any given Url.

  • Scroll To. Scrolls to a specific section on the same or on any other page.

The following gif illustrates how that works from the user’s perspective.

Open in

Further on, when you select one of these options, an Open in dropdown will appear below, where you can specify if the new destination should open in the Same Tab, in a New Tab, or inside a Modal (not available for the Scroll to option).

The Modal option has some additional settings, so let’s check those out.

Modal settings

A modal is basically a pop-up that opens on the same page the user’s on. It has two types: Centered and Sliding.

The Centered modal opens a pop-up in the center of the page, and you can also select a size for it.

Use these docs with your AI tools

An AI agent can read this documentation directly. You do not need an account or an API key. Everything here is public and read-only.

Query these docs via MCP

Recommended

Add this server to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Mistral, or any tool that supports MCP. Your agent can then search Softr Documentation documentation and read it in full, instead of answering from memory.

https://docs.softr.io/mcp
  • searchFind the passages that answer a question.
  • fetchRead one page in full, as Markdown.
  • list_pagesSee every page in this documentation.

Query these docs over HTTP

The same tools also work as plain web requests. Use this for scripts, or for any tool that does not support MCP. There is one endpoint per tool. Arguments go in the query string, and the answer comes back as JSON.

https://docs.softr.io/api/docs/search?query=custom+domain

Read the OpenAPI description. It is built from the same definitions as the tools, so it always matches what the endpoints do.

Read these docs as Markdown

Add .md to any page URL to get its Markdown source. You can also send the headerAccept: text/markdown to the page URL itself.

To read the whole documentation in one file, open llms-full.txt. For a short index of every page, open llms.txt.
