I’m currently in the process of migrating my classic app, but I’m having trouble finding a comparable view in the new Glide interface.

In my classic app, I used tiles along with overlays to display all the key data I need in a list format. However, I haven’t been able to replicate this same setup in the new Glide app.

Any insight or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I’ve attached a screenshot of my classic app for reference.

If it’s a bit too much for you to try to do overlays with CSS, I would suggest an AI component reading from a JSON of all rows, if you want to keep this view.

And even so, at that point, you would have to configure these yourself:

- JSON schema so the AI component knows which fields to query.
- Which field goes where in your “card”.
- An action that goes with the “heart”.
- Searching.
- Filtering.
- Adding a new record.

this one would help also I guess.

Another thing to try is to still use the Custom AI component, but instead of using JSON, you could build it for a single row of data, but put it inside a Custom Collection container.
