Working on a new app and can’t get past the sign in process working the way I want. My other app is whitelist so I haven’t experienced this before. Here the flow I’m trying to make work…tried two options: Privacy set to public: There is a tab to create your profile, and the tab disappears as soon as you complete the form (writes to a user profiles sheet). That works fine but the tab doesn’t disappear because the user isn’t “signed in”. Since this didn’t work, I tried plan B… Privacy set to public with email: Now the sign-in is writing the email to the user profiles sheet. WHY? Shouldn’t the sign in only write to the App Login sheet? The user lands on the tab where there is a form to create profile, as intended. Unfortunately this creates a second row on the user profiles sheet. So now there is a row with just the user’s email (generated when they signed in) and a second row with all of their profile info and the same email. Because there are 2 rows on the user profile sheet with the same email, the app doesn’t know what to do. How do I fix this? Ideally I would like to use the first approach but I don’t think there is a way. How do we stop the sign in from writing a row to the user profiles sheet? Also, why doesn’t the tab recognize the condition (Show when username is empty) once the profile form is completed? Can’t believe I’m stuck at the sign-in process…Thanks for any help!

@Deena, did you see this tutorial https://youtu.be/2RrwaKKcm00 ? it totally sorted me out.

Yes, I had sorted mine using the edit pencil but took the time to watch @Robert_Petitto video and set it up as instructed just this morning - a MUCH nicer UX! Thank you!

@Robert_Petitto One issue/question, I was able to capture sign up date using the edit pencil/form method, but don’t see how we can capture this with the onboarding process in your tutorial. Any ideas, besides adding a date picker??! :grin: It’s a fatal flaw not to be able to capture sign up date - when Glide team introduces sign-up process, please ensure it is included! @Antonio

What I do is use the spreadsheet to do a vlookup() of the email address in the user profile sheet to the email in the “App: Logins” sheet. The first result should be the user’s first login…not necessarily a “sign up”, but it’s close and doesn’t involve the edit pencil.

I don’t :neutral_face: it sounds like there could be a conflict in your data, so it can’t “decide” whether to show it or not.

I didn’t have it, just started happening this afternoon! No changes in the tab visibility settings. All tabs have conditions for visibility because that’s part of how we set up the @Robert_Petitto onboarding process…

So weird! Not sure what to say. When this happens to me I just leave it alone and do other things, then come back to it later with fresh eyes/ideas.

Yep, agreed. I reported it as a bug. It’s not okay to have this happen because it can cause data breaches for some of us - in this app it’s just an on-boarding screen in a public app but my other app is for enterprise. :upside_down_face:

I have a feeling it’s not a bug, but give it a few hours! :star_struck: certainly an app like this needs to work flawlessly before unleashing to the users.

Yep. My definition of bug is anything that doesn’t work properly, including lag in visibility conditions and design flaws. :grin:
