Hi Friends: I made a meeting room scheduler app on a free plan: there are two display screens for this, one is a display for the meeting room and other is a Booking Form screen, which is used to book the meetings, but, when I share it only give display screen, and not the booking screen, can any one help me out? I want to try it before I go for the paid plan, I want to make sure that reservation of meeting rooms is available from the links that I share to the users. ---

How are you trying to determine which device shows which screen? You can use device screen size to control screen visibility, but if you don’t have control of the type of device being used, then it’s not a reliable method. There are other hacky methods to identify a specific device, but they are also not reliable. A better option would be to have separate users for display and booking and then display the appropriate screen based on user or user role. The best option in my opinion is to create separate apps with linked tables. One for booking and one for display. I can think of other methods that would be quite reliable, but none that are natively supported in glide. ---

Hello Jeff, Thank you so much for your response, I have spent a lot of time in making this, with the features of RED when busy and GREEN when available, with a Success message when booking done and no overlapping approval. So, making another will take a lot of time, and I will have 3 separate screens on the meeting room walls, that will only display the room status available/busy. and I need the user whom I sent the link to be able to book the meeting by booking form, but, when I share the link, the user get only Display Screen. Glide says there is 14 days plan to test, but, I don’t get that as well, to test, and when ok, I’ll go for the paid plan, and it will be a continuous one, but, I am stuck here in verifying how I can send a proper link to the user.. ---

Hi Jeff, Thanks a lot for your support, really appreciate it. To clarify my setup: I will be using **3 separate tablets** , each mounted outside a meeting room. These tablets are intended to **only display the room status** (Busy / Available), along with meeting details like department and timing. Separately, I plan to give **6–7 users a booking access link** , so they can book meeting rooms through the app. The issue I’m facing is that when I share the app link with users, it always opens the **display screen (room status view)** instead of the **booking interface/form**. So users are not able to access the booking screen directly. I hope this clarifies what I’m trying to achieve. Thanks again for your help, really appreciate your time on this! ---

Can you expand a little more on your setup? What I’m understanding is that you have a tab screen that is the only tab that is visible, and that you have a form where you share the url for users to make a booking. Where does the form reside within the app? Is it on a tab that is not visible in the app? It would be helpful to understand how you have everything configured.
