I am doing a little research on this product and have a few quick questions:
- Is there any kind a custom (from the user perspective) reporting
- Meaning rather than a developer creating a custom report for a user in the app we develop but a tool that we can put into our app that allows customers to select columns, filters, grouping, create graphs, etc.
- Is there a tool (or way) that can export data to a file such as CSV, Excel, etc?
Thanks for the help,
Tom

Yes. You have to design it yourself, and if you want PDFs, it may involve 3rd party PDF creators, but it’s possible!

Yes, Glide comes with an Export CSV action:

Might be complex with selecting columns, you would have to build a front end that allows users to select columns, then I assume you want graphs and CSVs from those columns only?

Yep, probably need some third party reporting tool in this case.
