Hello Gliders ! I’m using a user specific reference date and I would like it to be reseted to today at every new user login or first table view (dashboard)… Would you know how to do that by any chance ? :pray:

Auto Action trigger 1. In the **DATA** section, define only the `Delay` property with a milliseconds value. 2. On component load, automatically retrieve the `Delay` property. If the property is not set, use a default value of 100 milliseconds. 3. Use the retrieved `Delay` property to start a `se…

You can configure all tabs visibility to off if start date( in the user’s row) is empty and just visible single wellcome tab with button which set start date

Thanks ! that’s a good idea ! I take it and will think of doing something like that if I don’t find better Glide solution, because then users get welcome message and must do one useless click every single time they log in .

Unfortunately no native solution for now. Another approach you can add this set column to each custom action(details screen and so on) with condition. Another one: if you use Google sheet as data source, you can see user login table and you can create Google script which can set date as you need

What is this date value actually used for? A filter? There is no way to trigger an action on login, so that option is basically out of the question. A simple option might be to add a “Reset” button that the user can click on that would reset the value to the current date.

Yes this date is registered in Glide table to be used in different filters in the app during user’s session ; it would be very usefull to be able to triger action before first Table appears or after login, so that we can reset previous session temporary datas or other context things… Any way for no…

Would it always be today? Is it the “en date du” field you’re showing on the screen?

yes, to be reset to today for every starting session. So, for now, I add a ‘change to Today’ button when value is not today (from previous session and other app page) … But this makes my Dashboard too heavy

I’m thinking something very hacky that might require workflows. A column for “Logged in Today?” as a boolean. Your normal “En Date Du” field. Create an AI Component that looks at those two columns above, if “Logged in Today?” is not checked, then set the current date to “En Date Du”, else keep “En…

woaw, I did not know we can triggered workflow automatically on a schedule, that is already a good solution to just reset my date column every night ! I don’t know much about what we can do with AI component yet, I’m still duscovering Glide possibilities… thanks

I have to work on it ; I’m not able to set ‘dateref’ column to today for all rows (using a filter) and at a scheduled time. Your welcome if you have more advises… [image]
