Hello again! Is it possible to create folders for types of Data within the database? The idea is to click on a folder to populate specific data. Please advise!
Thank you!
Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do? You could have a category column and assign a category when adding a row.

Hi, I have a list of students but I would like to categorize them by school. So I would love to be able to tap on a folder to open up the students in that school.
That should be pretty easy to do. First you need a column in your student table to hold the School Name or ID that each student goes to. Then create a new table that is just a list of schools. This new table will be your “folders”. Then create a relation column in the Schools table that links the school name or ID to the school name or ID that is in the Students table. Create a tab or screen with a collection sourced from the Schools table. When you click on a school, you will be taken to it’s detail screen. On that screen, add a collection that is sources from the relation column that you created. That should be it.
If you create a new app in Glide with Glide tables as the source, the default apps demonstrate this very well, whether it’s Categories/Things or Companies/Contacts. It’s the exact same concept.

You can use filters in collections. You can also use the group by feature for this.
