Hi, I’ve read so many posts but have been unsuccessful in trying to get a button to attach to the header eg notifications of messages. I’ve tried using Adalo as this functionality works easily but I really like the way I can structure my data in Glide. Can anyone help? PS Floating button that moves when scrolling is not an option. Thank you. ---

So what you ultimately want is a floating button that sticks to a point on the screen? ---

Yes so the notification button sits up above inline with Home. ![IMG_9257](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/6/767dc9cb41945364cd2c53f5377ee5e7d9ee0833.jpeg) ---

Any ideas for this? ---

Yes have tried this and it works but I can’t get it to float up inside the nav bar - any other ideas? ---

If I have to take a guess, I would think it relates to making it sticky at a high enough position. I haven’t done this before, so I think it would still be complex to support it on all relevant screens. ---

What about the bottom nav bar? Really just need notifications of new messages to be on either the top or bottom nav. ---

Bottom nav bar is generally reserved for tabs, so you would run into another type of trouble I guess. You can’t add a dynamic count like notifications there as well, since the CSS code can’t be tied to a dynamically updated column.
