Sync two app users so they can share info on a screen

Hi guys,

New to Glide. Is it possible to share a page between two or more users? I want them to be able to sync and share their progress for the day.

As long as you provide a way for both users to view the same page in the app, then yes, they can both edit and share progress because they would be viewing and editing the same row of data.

Could you please tell me how to do this if it’s not too much trouble. New to this :slight_smile:

I have no idea how your app is set up or what exactly you are trying to do. I would need more details first. It’s hard to explain something if I don’t know what I should be explaining as it applies to your situation.

At a very basic level, the data is already shared among all users unless you have some sort of restrictions, such as Row Owners, User Specific columns, Filters, or Visibility conditions that would prevent a user from seeing something. With no restrictions, everybody can already see everything.

Hi Jeff,

Every user has a check list to complete for the day with the progress bar updating with every task checked. I want two users to be able to “sync” meaning they can see each others’ progress. Hope this helps?

Do I need to put this under their profile and make that public? The end goal is to have the app interact and tell the one that the other has made more progress to spark competition.

The checklist is based on rows, so each item needs its own row.

If multiple users can have different checklists and be able to check off tasks uniquely to them…while remaining visibile to others…then you one task per user per row.

So at the very least, you need to include the user’s RowID or email from their user profile row in that task table when they create a new task.

Using that information, you can create a Relation column in the user table linking either the RowID or Email to the user RowID or email that was written in the task table. That relation can be viewed using a collection on the user profile screen, for example. As long as everyone can see a list of all other users, and be able to click on a particular user to view their profile, then should also be able to see the list of tasks.
