Could someone explain to me how to insert a “status icon” like the one it was done in the template app “issue tracker” ? (from the Sheet AND Glide perspective) Thanks, Dan ---

Hey! It’s just an emoji. The If -\> Then -\> Else column is used to display different emoji depending on the item status. You can open any of the templates and see how they are built. ---

In the same sample app, everyone can check/uncheck the status ? how can we limit the use of the status option ? ---

It seems to do what you want, you should create an app - then copy it and give editing rights to the copy. That way people that have the original can use a form to add things. But not edit them. Then you (or whoever) can edit (change the status) I kinda have built it all into a DEMO app here. One tab is supposed to be the user side. The other is the ADMIN side. But it really should be two apps. > [@Approving User Submitted Images](https://community.glideapps.com/t/approving-user-submitted-images/3864): > > I am working on an app that I want to be PUBLIC but want to be able to APPROVE any photos that are uploaded. Here is a SAMPLE of what I have done :[https://lbdh9.glideapp.io](https://lbdh9.glideapp.io) One tab mimics the USER interface, the other mimics a possible separate ADMIN app On the USER tab of this app: I have a FORM BUTTON that asks for a Photo and Caption and PREapproval Code (if they have it) Below that, I also have tiles showing the photos that have been approved (either by the admin or a code) This is com… ---

Limit the type of user that can check or uncheck @david @spencersRus you did great but it’s not optimal, thank you anyway ---

Maybe this post would give you an idea on how to control who can change the status. Instead of setting up a filter, like the post says, just set the visibility on the component using the created email column to check if it’s the signed in user. > [@Approving User Submitted Images](https://community.glideapps.com/t/approving-user-submitted-images/3864/6): > > There’s a couple of ways to do this. If you only have one admin, place their email on a sheet by itself. Then use the single value column to grab the email of the admin from the sheet and include it on the photos sheet. Another method is to first place an Admin column on a user specific sheet. Fill that column with ‘Admin’ for those have admin rights. On the photos sheet create a template column and make the result of that column ‘Admin’. Next create a relation column to link the Admin col… ---
