I'm trying to make a simple Python Kivy app (using a kv file for the layout) that I will use to keep inventory of my parts for work. I am very new to python and kivy, so I need a little bit of direction on this.
One of the basic functions will be to allow the user to input a new part on the "Add Part to Inventory" screen (one of four screens). The user input consists of four items (part name, serial number, on-hand quantity, and the minimum amount needed).
Once the user enters this info and presses the 'Submit' button, I would like that data to be appended to a new row in a google sheet that I'm using as a backend database using the Google Drive/Sheets API (which I was able to get working).
Most of the example apps that I've found online only have one screen, and are only dealing with one type of user input (usually text, whereas my input will be text and integers).
I'm confused as to where I need to put my ids in the kv file (I'm assuming under the AddPartWindow layout), how to call a function when a button is pressed that is not in the root class, how to store the user input into a list since I'm not sure what the ObjectProperty function is really doing, and finally, how to append that list to a new row in my google sheet.
I'm not looking for a cut and paste answer, just some direction would be nice as I have not been able to find a good reference for exactly what I'm trying to do. My main confusion lies in having multiple screens, and how to transfer data between the different screens and their respective classes. Should data only be funneled through a single root class? Or can each class be used to handle data coming from their respective screens (windows) in the app? What exactly is the ObjectProperty function doing? I find the kivy website to be a bit convoluted when describing the properties class.
Any help/direction woud be greatly appreciated.
Here is the main.py code:

Can this be used for numerical inputs? def new_part(self): np = [self.part_name.text, self.serial_number.text, self.on_hand_cnt.text, self.min_needed.text] iQue_sheet.append(np) class OnOrderWindow(Screen): pass class OrderFormWindow(Screen): pass class WindowManager(ScreenManager): pass class InventoryApp(App): def build(self): #These are used to enable going back and forth between screens using buttons sm = ScreenManager() sm.add_widget(InventoryWindow(name='inv_window')) sm.add_widget(OnOrderWindow(name='on_order_window')) sm.add_widget(AddPartWindow(name='add_part_window')) sm.add_widget(OrderFormWindow(name='order_form_window')) return sm if __name__ == "__main__": InventoryApp().run() Here is the my .kv file for the layout, the Add Part window is the last layout towards the end:

The current error I'm getting when I enter input into the four fields and click on the Submit button is this:

Here is how I implemented Oussama's answer in order to get this to work, all I had to do was update the AddPartWindow class:
class AddPartWindow(Screen): def __init__(self, **kwargs): super().__init__(**kwargs) self.np = [] def submit(self): self.part_name = self.ids.part_name.text self.serial_number = self.ids.serial_number.text self.on_hand_cnt = self.ids.on_hand_cnt.text self.min_needed = self.ids.min_needed.text self.np = [self.part_name, self.serial_number, self.on_hand_cnt, self.min_needed] iQue_sheet.append_row(self.np) I also made this change in order to append to sheet 3 of the workbook instead of sheet 1:
iQue_sheet = client.open("InventoryBackend").get_worksheet(2)
