You said that most users will not sign in, correct? You can still set it to Optional Sign In, but you can have a whitelist so you are the only one allowed to sign in to your app. Optional means signing in is optional and not mandatory to use the app. So everyone else will just use the app as a visitor if they donā€™t sign in. If you are the only one signing in, then you can restrict editing to only you as the signed in user. ---

oohhh. Well thanks a bunch for that explanation. Can I set so that I will be the only one to see the sign in screen? I like that users can bypass the screen and go straight into the app. ---

By default the sign in screen isnā€™t shown. With Optional Sign In, all visitors are taken directly into the app. If you click on the side menu, then there is an option sign in if you choose. ---

Just curious and I have not tried experimenting butā€¦ When using the Multi-Image picker and populating a Multiple Images Column, is there a way to use that Multiple Images Column as the ā€œImageā€ feed for a ā€œCardā€ Styled Horizontal Collection? My guess is it just shows a single image, but how do you get a Multi Image Columns ā€œRowā€ to then reformat back into a multi-row column? Just curious because I rather like the way the Horizontal Collections scrolls but would rather that be fed from a Multi-Image Picker. Better put can you load a Horizontal Collection of images by way of the Multi-Image Picker? Thoughts? ---

Collections rely on data being in rows. They do not work with data in arrays. You would need a helper table with numbered rows. A way to bring the that image array into the helper table. A single value column to populate that array across all rows. Finally a single value column to pull each image out of the array using the row number. A bit of setup, but doable. ---

Why in the world would they make this Multiple Images Column ONLY work as a User Specific / Glide Table function? For us Glide Tables does not meet our needs yet in what we do with Google Sheets. So wow, this function is nice but rendered totally useless to us since it does not work with Google Sheets. Hope they remove that forced user specific parameters for Google Sheets. Bummer! šŸ™ƒ ---

My guess is they havenā€™t been able to determine how to handle a type of array column like that via the Google Sheets/Airtable API. ---

We donā€™t even need it to write back to the Google Sheet as long as we can do the multi-upload on the app side in Glide it can stay in a computed column on the Glide side ONLY. Just need them to remove that User Specific checkbox so that we can display the Gallery Image component to EVERYONE. The Multiple Images column shows up in our Glide table without writing back to the Google Sheet. Just let us use that column globally (Non User Specific). ---

Well I understand where youā€™re coming from, but if itā€™s a computed column you wonā€™t be able to write to it like you currently do. I donā€™t have any insights on whether that may change in the future. ---

Maybe Computed Column was the wrong choice of words to use here. I see the Multi Image upload data currently in my Glide display of my Google Sheet. Where does that data currently live? Itā€™s NOT in the Google Sheet itself right? And I can place it in my app. So itā€™s stored on the Glide side right now correct? I donā€™t have it in a Glide Table. Thatā€™s what prompted the question of why itā€™s locked to User Specific. Iā€™m sure they have their reasons. I just donā€™t understand it at the moment. But thanks for indulging my question anyway. šŸ™‚ ---

If you donā€™t need it in the Google Sheet, then your best option is to place it in a native table. ie. a table that doesnā€™t use a Google Sheet as the source. Then it doesnā€™t have to be user specific. ---

Thanks Darren. The rest of the data that makes up this particular apps tab is driven from a Google Sheet but my comment was referencing that we didnā€™t need that image field to be stored in the sheet. Basically to use this feature without the need for it to be User Specific would mean to rebuild the entire app tab using a Glide table. Itā€™s NOT that crucial at this point just to have the image carousel and multi image upload feature, but thanks anyway. ---
