Probably you have wanted to build a dynamic list of social links: Email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. before but there’s no straightforward way to do it without costing rows.

Now with the actions Glide introduced, I achieved the thing above just this week with 4 rows, and think this can be helpful for people so I would share this.

First time using Screenity to record + write on screen at the same time, hopefully it’s clear for all of you.

Thanks @ThinhDinh This would surely help in one of my App where I wanted to provide option of sending SMS/Email/Whatsapp. Since this was not possible earlier, I had to use buttons instead of icons.

I will try your solution and revert.

Thanks

For who’s interested: Screenity is free and open source and Screenflow in a browser (though only live recording, no editing afterwards).

I’m still trying to understand what kind of sorcery is the relation between rows and columns that you use in the single element component, is there a place where it explains those features of the component, like the whole row relation or… the more I think about it, the more I think it’s just your genius, wow, very well done.

That’s exactly what I was doing with my app, but I was using an opposite method for creating this kind of menu but I think I prefer yours more, I’ll now try your method, thx

Finally found a use case for the single column’s whole row Max. I was not sure what to do with it when it was first released, but here I found out that instead of having to make 4 template columns & 4 relations I can just create 4 “relations” from single value cols. Pretty neat.

I’m now working on a similar menu but it is 2 or 3 levels of filters, where the first one is a macro category for the second and so on that will be applied to a list, suggestions?

> [@Menu lists acting as filters of another list](https://community.glideapps.com/t/menu-lists-acting-as-filters-of-another-list/19229/6):

> [filtri] like this, where the first horizontal menu list of filters is the father of the second horizontal list of filters, and maybe there will be a 3rd one and on the bottom the vertical list is the filtered one, maybe updating as the filters get selected. Also, some method to make it more elegant, like instead of more than one horizontal filter to have just one that updates as the user clicks, but in that case there must be some button or something that allows to go back
