I’m looking to see if Glide can turn a spreadsheet or table into a profile page. I work in public education and I thought it would be great to have a profile page for each of our students with information that we could view about them with information like a picture of the student, their first and last name, Grade level, GPA, any certifications they have acquired, and sports or organizations they are involved in. It would be nice if it would allow me to have a profile page for each student and that it was viewable by the student themselves, as well as teachers and potentially other schools who might be interested in recruiting them for college, etc. I tried building something like this, but it hasn’t worked for me. Any help is appreciated.
Yes, this is totally doable with Glide.
The important thing is to get your data structured correctly. Essentially you should have just a single sheet/table with one row per student.
Please note however, that the Free & Explorer plans do not support syncing with external data sources, so if you do want to sync with a Google Sheet then you will need to have at least a Maker plan.
The alternative on the lower plans is a one time import.
You mention that you already tried - can you show where you got stuck?
After playing around with it, I’m getting more proficient. However, I can’t figure out how to add a picture from my hard drive. Any suggestions for that?
I would consider moving up to the next plan, but I have to see how this one works first to make sure it is what I need and want.
Thanks!

Thanks, I’ll check this out!
You bet. I created a CRM-type app for our faculty. It’s used daily. Here’s an example page:
Note. If you store student data in a Glide App, the app MUST be private to adhere to Glide’s T&Cs as well as to ensure the app is COPPA and FERPA compliant.
If you decide to upgrade, DM me for a coupon code. Love to help out a fellow educator!
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing! Question: when you say private, can a Counselor use it to have discussions with students and can staff view the information if they have the student in homeroom or if we are trying to gather data about a student to help them be more successful?
I’m asking because I’m interested in creating student profiles for Academic and Career Planning to show what students have done and what they still need to accomplish. Things that would be on there would be GPA, classes taken, job shadow experiences, ACT scores, and things of that nature.
Thanks for the response!

Hey there! By private, I mean in your access settings. It can’t be a public app where anybody can sign into the app. You have to make it private and set a white list.
For example:
Ok, that more makes sense. Thanks!
