The mobile app is great but in most of business cases, we need to have an admin dahsboard to manage the app from back end where we can have much more insights about the business. Use case: For Company X, App XYZ is shared to all users. They use it and produce a lof ot user data. These data are s…

Hey Aymen, Sorry was out of the office last week. No luck on iframes :disappointed:: Glide Desktop app for admin dashboard - #38 by david

The solution to date has been to create an Admin app in Glide. This app would point to the same spreadsheet as your main app, but you would incorporate various add and edit features for the administrator only. Yes the downside is that it is not a full screen app. There is a roadmap to change this…

That is an interesting concept - create another app to do the admin. I can see how this would work but it’s a hack rather than solution. Glad to hear that it might be in the roadmap which I’m looking forward to seeing once it is published. Thanks

This is what I do. I build the WHOLE APP, or as close as I can get as an ADMIN app. Then I make a copy of the app and HIDE the admin tabs. Usually I name the admin tabs with an * at the beginning.

Here is a thread with a comment where somebody mentioned using Google sites to build a dashboard with integrated sheet data. Might be worth checking out. [image] Transfer sheets property and apps to another owner @George_B see the gif. in it i present the app, origina…

Thanks, but think about these as pro apps you could potentially have two hosting costs involved. I would not want the URLs as glideapps.io and would want to white label the front screen. Also as the app develops you have then two apps to maintain.

As for the admin, what I did is to duplicate a tab where I want the admin to have edit ability and users not. I used query to make sure the duplicate always synced and then in the app created admin area where he can edit the relevant data. As for Google site, it was my idea and I use it for custome…

Thanks yinon. I will go with Wordpress as i have other works that need to be accomplished from wordpress cms. I will explore a way to build a page in WP and embed Google sheet data on it. Although i dont get to use the same components/widget from Glide… i will try to mimic as much as possible. Thi…

Another idea for you. Create the dashboard in Google site as the link to sheets already exist and than create iframe in your WP and embed the created dashboard in the WP. I believe this will be easier than creating a connection from sheets to WP. BTW, if you do go with your plan as is than check z…

I tried to embed glide app in Google Sites without success. There are two ways to embed in Google Sites, by URL or by iframe. None worked for me, why? @Mark Can Glide advise?

Glide is not iframe-embeddable at the moment, sorry.
