# šŸ‘‹ Hello fellow Gliders! I wanted to share with you my newest template: Our Chores. Iā€™ve seen several requests over the past week for a tutorial on task management as well as creating an onboard experience using the new User Profiles feature. I created version 1.0 of this app in under 24 hoursā€”I plan on enhancing/gamifying it in the future. Take a look at the video tour below: If youā€™d like to try the app as a child, visit: > **[Our Chores](https://ourchores.glideapp.io/)** > > Manage and track your child(ren)'s chores If youā€™d like to make a copy for yourself, on a desktop, laptop or tablet, visit: > **[Our Chores Template](https://ourchorestemplate.glideapp.io/)** > > PLEASE DO NOT SIGN INTO THIS APP. Instead, make a copy for yourself using the button below. If youā€™d a tutorial on how I created the onboarding experience, just watch the video below: ---

A great app, thanks for sharing! I am trying to build something similar for my startup, however, I need a list of predefined tasks by client location. Is it possible for a form to read a table of tasks (columns are the task header and rows are the rooms my guys are cleaning and each cell is the actual task)? My thought is to have another sheet to collect the timestamps of when they say ā€˜completedā€™. Happy to hop on a call and pay for your time šŸ™‚ šŸ‘ ---

I imagine this list of tasks is recurring? ---

They are, yes. Once a sales rep builds the task list (an app for another day) it produces a list of tasks that have to be done, by room, for that specific location. I am taking it a step further by showing the cleaning person not only the task, but a picture of the materials he/she needs to do the job in that room. For example, a bathroom task may be: ā€œClean the toilet with the RED clothā€ and a corresponding image of a red cloth and spray bottle. I simply have the images paired with the task. Happy to share my Sheet so you can see the tabs and columns. And also happy to pay for consultation, your time is valuable to me. ---

Gotcha. This sounds like a great instance for user specific columnsā€¦only issue is the reset and tracking of the list. User specific columns will allow you to push out a list to everyone who needs it and they can each mark things off on the list without affecting other users. The problem is this feature is so new that it doesnā€™t have support for the centralized tracking (by an admin letā€™s say) of the checkboxes per user. Likewise, the user specific columns live in the data editor and not the sheet, so a Google Sheets script couldnā€™t be run to reset the values nightly. Recurring tasks is something Iā€™ve been pondering for a while now. Let me play with it a bit today and Iā€™ll reach out in a bit. ---

Hey Bob - Check your template - I canā€™t seem to add helpers. It looks like thereā€™s an incomplete setting tor allowing users to edit, and visibility on the button seems a little restrictive for a blank app. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/e/e7c71584ebe717c13eeabb230d79f25fbe15424f.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/9/9eadb19dfbad0c37899357f194291e217216866b.png) ---

Whoops - I was in the builder. But after logging in, I get this, and no edit pencil. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/c1f8c01d70f1ef1ee05ecfa823faaebe2a6747f3.png) ---

Yeahā€¦check your sheetā€¦i think there might be other users in there that canā€™t read and signed into the app template šŸ™„. Iā€™m updating the template now to show a message to the user in the builder to publish and visit the appā€¦perhaps thereā€™s another way Iā€™m not seeingā€¦ ---

Whatever you did fixed it. It has a whole different look in both the app and the builder. Who knew itā€™d be so challenging to post a template, huh? BTW - Awesome app. Iā€™d have loved to have something like this back in the day for my kids. They were all pre-smartphone. ---

Makes sense. So it sounds like the tasks themselves need to be the actual column heading and not in a cell themselves. ---

Seriouslyā€¦problem with onboarding experiences is that you can only see them in the published app. In the builder for a new build, the app doesnā€™t recognize youā€™re signed in (even though your email address will show in the profile section of the menu). Is there a workaround @mark? @david? @JackVaughan? I added this to the builder for now: ![Screen Shot 2020-04-22 at 11.44.38 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/5e379a3bc82cc55895de6e7bf763694e14413b34.png) Set when UserCount is empty. ---

I still donā€™t think this is acting the way you intended. I didnā€™t do anything to the app in the builder except publish. ---

@George_B or anyone else with scripting knowledgeā€¦ If I set up a sheets script to clear the users column every minute, will other users inherit this script in their sheet when they make a copy? ---

I donā€™t think scripts transfer with a template because if the way the sheet data is copied. Basically glide grabs the data, creates a new sheet in a new account, then pushes the data to the new sheet. Itā€™s not the same as copying a sheet within your own account ---
