How to build an App

I have Alteryx Server.

I need to build a simple App.

Where can I find general instructions on building an app?

I have a spreadsheet with columns. I want the user of the app to fill out the interface tool for each column and then save this new row of data to the existing spreadsheet.

Does anyone have an example of this simple type of App?

Interface Tools

Here's a more specific question on building an App.

There is a spreadsheet and I want to have the App user a row.

What connects the 'Drop Down' interface tool to the new row column it should write to in the spreadsheet?

Or stated another way, what tells the App that you want to add a row, and this Drop Down values goes in which column?
