Hi,
Struggling to locate/access the main menu tab within my Glide App in order to add an action to it.
I am looking for a way to record time/date of users ‘last activity’ within the App.
The plan is to add/insert an action into one of the main nav/menu tabs that users access when using the App.
IE + Action Row (Action) to menu tab that writes time date to new column in Users Data Table called ‘Last Active’
Any tips on how to reveal the Menu Tab in order to add the action to it ?
Failing that any other suggestions on how to trigger the action with the same output (time date) when user was last active on the App that will write to the column in the Users Data Table ?

You can’t attach actions to tabs.
The best you can do is pick one or more components that are commonly used and add actions to those.

Thanks Darren, guess that answers why I could’nt find the action drop down in the Tab.
In regards to tracking/recording recent user activity, do you know how Glide tracks Usage in the main admin area (Usage Dashboard) ? I’m interested to see how Glide tracks the user activity (limited to 30 users) in the main admin usage reporting area.
The idea being to replicate the ‘user tracking/counting’ and add it to the User Data Table within the app

No I don’t, sorry. Presumably it’s baked into the code. It would be nice if we could access it from the Data Editor, but we can’t.
So as I said, the only option is to build something as I described. Just be careful if you have a legacy plan, as it could cost you a lot of updates.

Could you provide a bit more insight to the above please Darren ?

Data changes are counted as updates on legacy plans.
So if you’re constantly updating a timestamp as users navigate around your App, they could add up pretty quickly.
