Hi. I am a DJ and would like to create an app that allows guests (at a party) to log a song request (name of song and artist) and a short message. If you have built this app, PLEASE send me your template! Many tx.

There is no ready-made DJ song request template on the official Glide template store, but it should be fairly straightforward to build this, I assume as a public application.

For a simple song request app, you can use a Glide Table with columns like this:

| Song Name | Artist | Message | Submitted By | Timestamp |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Uptown Funk | Bruno Mars | Play this please! | Alice | 2025-07-04 20:10:00 |
| Shape of You | Ed Sheeran | For the bride | Bob | 2025-07-04 20:12:00 |

**Building the Public Form**

- In your Glide project, add a new table with the columns above.
- On your main screen, add a “Form” button.
- Configure the Form to write to your Song Requests table.
- Add entry fields for Song Name, Artist, Message and optionally, Name.
- Use special values to capture current timestamp automatically.

**Displaying the Collection**

- Add a Collection/List component to your app, linked to the Song Requests table.
- Sort by Timestamp (descending) so the newest requests appear first.
- Display Song Name, Artist, and Message in each list item.

Here’s a template in Glide staging to show you how it can look like.
