I built my A Little Help app. Someone in the US wants to use it for elderly LGBT communities in the US. Which is nice of course. But she would want to make it a little more a marketplace. So when entering you say if you need help or want to help. And based on that you get different options or choice…

I’m trying to do something similar and running into the same predicament. I’m trying to create a dog walking service where users can either request a walker or be a walker. It’s coming together a bit, but it requires a lot of trickery to create advanced user-to-user interactions. I’ll let you kno…

Consider something loosely based on this. User sets preference, and then control commoners based on that preference. [image] Multilingual I think I have an idea that might work but is very time consuming and would be further complicated if you had to edit an rows. You …

Hey Gliders. I think you have identified role-based functionaltiy. I’ve been asking for role-based functionality for awhile, but its not quite there yet. My use case was to have 2 sides of a restaurant app, where diners have one set of functionality and the restaurant owners / managers have diff…

Yeah…until Glide provides conditional visibility for Tabs, you’d need to have A LOT of components with conditional visibility. I’m working on something similar for both restaurants and dog walkers…two sides to the app. Tricky…I’ll let you when I make progress!

Hey Matt, I have created a few internal business apps having dual functionality in one. While it’s not very difficult it’s surely way more time consuming because every component is driven by the limited visibility. But if you are using the same data for both sides, it would be much more user-friendl…

I would think all of your restaurants apps could be joined into one, unless you have highly customized sheets and app layouts for each restaurant. I would also think every app could share the same sheet to avoid having to use importrange. If the diner side needs to be public, then you would probab…

The challenge I have for having a single app for any restaurant owner/manager to be able to use is that content is specific to the restaurant, so multiple people should be able to update the content for a restaurant. The content isn’t directly related to a single person, but to a group of people of…

Assuming all of your data would have a column to indicate which restaurant it is related to, you could create another sheet that has the restaurant name or ID in one column and the email of any person associated with that restaurant. In all of your data sheets, create a relation column to link rest…

You could create an array column as @Jeff_Hager mentioned using lookup or you could also create many columns named owner 1, owner 2, owner 3… and add the email IDs of the users you want to give the rights to. Glide will automatically create an Array column using these columns and put all the emails …
