Relations issues

Hi @MikeLondon , welcome to Glide’s community forum!

Your app sounds like a perfect use case for Glide: a “field ops” app. Make sure you have a look at Glide’s templates, you might find a template that could give you a head start.

See @Lucas_Pires 's RITUAL method to creating apps.

I like starting with the user experience – pencil, paper, sticky notes, drawing screens and user journeys – and working backwards from there to determine how screens might be built in the Glide builder and how the tables of data might be organized in the Glide Data Editor and Google Sheets.

Idea:

  • Users (tab) – name, email, image, description, etc.
  • Visits (tab) – venue_name (where), user_name (who), date (when), visit_proof (what, the image)
  • Venues or Choices (table only) – venue_name, venue_image, address, phone, etc. (information that purely describes the venue, if at all necessary)

How you display the components in the builder with date and image pickers and inline lists and whatnot is really up to you. For me it’s easier to start from the user experience and work backwards from there.
