Does anyone know exactly how often Glidapps updates on it’s own with the PRO accounts. I honestly need mine to update every minute if not more frequently and it seems like it does it every 5 to 10 minutes unless we manually enter in data. I’m looking for an exact number if possible. I know I can r…

So if you keep your google sheet that is linked to your app closed it will update every minute. You leave it open and it just randomly updates.

Can you tell us why you need updates every minute? Maybe there’s something we can build into Glide to make this more efficient, like time-based calculations. Reloading your sheet is very expensive for us.

Ah. Interesting. I suppose this somewhat answers my question from the Templates thread. Do you not want an ecosystem that establishes Sheets as the backbone of app calculations? Are you expecting Glide will one day be able to match Sheets with its own formulas and calculations? If so, are we months …

With the kind of robust calculations and formulas you get in Sheets?

Data editor currently provides a tiny fraction of the number of types of calculations that Sheets (any spreadsheet that provides formulas, really) provide. And in aggregate and especially used together, those extra formula-types provide …

In my opinion, if you can expose some sort of a refresh trigger in the UI editor that users have to use judiciously - say only once every 5 minutes. It’s like a weapon that one uses at last resort but have to save till the end. I have a page X that opens checkout screen that user uses to pay for a …

But certainly excited for a more powerful data editor. Any more power is fantastic.

How do you do it with a script timer?

Our goal for Glide is that most software on Earth is created with Glide by 2030. So, yes, we plan to add many robust calculation abilities.
