Hi, I’m looking to utilize Glide as an order status page. And whenever a specific order reaches a certain stage, We will send out an email with a URL to that specific order to our customer. The URL in Glide is the row ID- yet because of the structure of how collections work in Glide, The URL will contain a breadcrumb to the previous page which is the collection containing all the orders. Which we don’t want to be visible to anyone. We could add a filter for no one to actually see any of the items in the collection, but that will probably result in the direct URL not to work. Any suggestions?

Could you make the Breadcrumb component conditionally visible? The other option could be to create a separate details screen (show new screen) that doesn’t have the breadcrumb, and link to that.

And if I go the route of creating a detail screen, can I link to a specific record in the URL?

I believe so, yes. [image] link Create a deeplink to ANY screen Community Resources wave Hey fellow Gliders! Need a way to create, store and share any link to any screen within your app?

Got it to work! I’m hiding the breadcrumbs. Any suggestions on how to create custom filters for public apps? since no user is logged in- so i can’t utilize the columns in the users table to filter values from my collection.

[image] Saving multiple files to a location defined by a single item relation Feature Requests Custom filters don’t have to require that a user be signed in. If you want them to work for those that don’t sign in, you just need to avoid using the User Profiles table. Other than that, they should work perfectly fine.

so how do we do custom filters without the users table? is it a user specific column with a single value column? not sure if it’s doable since sql is my data source so i can’t add a column in glide.

There are lots of ways to do custom filters, but yes you need to use User Specific columns. For non-signed in users, a simple approach is to sit your screen on top of a single row helper table, and then work from there. I can’t comment on the SQL aspect of it, as I’ve not yet used any SQL data sources with Glide.

single row helper table won’t work in my instance since it has to be a deep link to a screen/record_id within a public app. Catch 22… @Robert_Petitto any thoughts from the master?

I would use URL parameters. Create a tab based off of a single row table. This tab can be hidden from navigation if needed. The single row helper table has a template column to get the link to current screen (create a variable and replace it with link to current screen). Use a query column to query the order where rowID is included in template column’s deep link. Create a single value column to get the “whole row” from the query. From there you can use look up columns to bring in the data you need into the helper table. The best part is that this table has zero basic columns which means it’s completely user specific. Let me know if you need a video.

I’m not sure I understand. We have an Invoices table. Each invoice has many items related to it. We want to send users a unique link to specific invoice record where they can see all the items and their status. I’m aware that I can create a deep link to an invoice record by appending the SQL UuID for that particular record to the link. What I don’t understand is how your suggestion would allow me to Send a unique link to a particular invoice record (if I’m utilizing a helper table) Allow the user to apply custom filters (to filter items based on a status or delivery_date) when the app is public
