Unread User's Topic / How to do it?

[Dimitri_Kostis]

Hello, i am new here, can anyone help because i can’t find a tutorial on youtube.

I want to make my personal app, and when i post something new on the lists, i want the other user to see this as Unread.

Thank you!

• Create a User Specific boolean column in your Posts table
• When a user reads a post, use an action to set the value of the column to true
• Unread posts will be those where that column is “not checked”

The best advice I can give you is to review the relevant documentation.

i am struggling about a day to find a solution haha

how can i give the order for these collumns to know when the users read the list? how i can put a badge on the list like “new message” to inform my users that i added some new stuff…

any help on this will be a miracle

You just need one boolean column to determine if the content is read or not read.

By default, when you create a new row, the value in that boolean should not be checked. Then, if a user clicks the item, you should change the value to true and show them the details screen of the item.

[Dimitri_Kostis]

First of all, thanks for the answer.

This is the right way on “if” creation?

Then, i must use the “Actions” section to edit the “click the item by user”?

This is the last path for my app, if I am done with this, the app is ready… every tutotial on this will be fully appreciated…

Why do you have a both a Read and an Unread column? You only need one. Get rid of the Unread column. If the Read column is unchecked then it’s unread. If it’s checked then it’s read. When a person reads a post, then check the box for that post. If any boxes are unchecked, then they have unread posts.

@ThinhDinh

You just need one boolean column

[Dimitri_Kostis]

Sorry for that, this the right way?

Next how I am automate the proccess for the user to see a “Unread” message alert on the list item category? How i automate the “Read” when the User will enter to the list item category?

[ThinhDinh]

Do you need to show the “Unread” and “Read” text on the list? I assume yes?

Then change the first logic to “is not checked”, to cover in case you want users to mark an item as unread in the future.

Next, set the action on the item column as detailed here.

@ThinhDinh

Then, if a user clicks the item, you should change the value to true and show them the details screen of the item.

So I want to be more specific…

I want when i post something new on the list, the user will know that I posted something with a “New Message Alert” on the list.

When the User opens the list i want the “New Message Alert” to disapears?

Can I do that on Glide?

[Dimitri_Kostis]

This is what i want, but i can’t understand what i have to do because of my weak english, please if you know the steps, let a tutorial here. Thank you a lot
