You can follow the steps below:

- Have an increment action alongside “show details view” to increment a view counter column in your database.

- Create a [Cloudinary](https://cloudinary.com/) account.

- Create a dynamic text layer to apply the counter on top of your image:

> **[Apply Overlay and Underlay Transformations | Cloudinary](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/layers)**
>
> Place image, text, or other layers on (or under) existing assets to generate new and customized creations on the fly.

Hey @ThinhDinh,

Don’t you think using a TAG box would be easier to display views in an image component instead of Cloudinary?

It’s okay to put the number of hits above the image, but like the attached image below, I want to indicate that the number of hits 229 increases as the number of clicks increases.

You can display like that using a template column and a text component with footnote style.

In order to achieve this:  
You have to set up a customized action for your inline list.

1st step: Add 1 column of **HITS** in your sheet and make it a number column.

2nd step: Add a User Specific Colum for **Product Opened**.

3rd step: Make a template column for displaying hits. You can do like: **Hits #** and replace **#** with **Hits column**

4th step: For your inline list, set up a customized action like this. **IF Product opened is empty** then **Increase the HITS COLUMN by +1** → **SHOW DETAIL SCREEN** _else_ **SHOW DETAIL SCREEN**.

5th step: On your detail screen, display that template column using text component and footnote style.

I will understand. It would be appreciated if you could show a sample app to show as an example.

I’m really sorry, but my English is very poor. So, thank you for letting us know about the template app.

If you don’t need it to be customized then yeah…

Please note that this only works if he’s going to show unique clicks. If he wants total clicks then it will be a basic column.

I suggested him so he doesn’t run out of updates and isn’t getting spammed. But yes, thanks for mentioning that. I thought he would want that 😃

I made something like this using the same logic I explained you earlier.

you’re right. This is how the number of views and likes are displayed as numbers. Could you please show the Data Editor as a captured picture?

I don’t have access to the data editor of this app anymore as it belonged to my client. However, you can DM me your Glideapps link and I will help you set up the columns and actions for hits 🙂

sorry. Fortunately, it seems to have been resolved. I solved it with Increment Number in Edit Action. Thank you for your kind response to our continued requests.
