If the user is logged in to your APP, a write to any user-specific column is counted as an update. Instead, if he/she is as Visitor, there is no update to count.
If you write 3 values via a Set Column action, each time that action is triggered, 3 updates are counted on your bill
My basic notes on what causes updates and how to avoid them are:
If you write values to USC when the user is a Visitor (not logged in), no updates are counted. Instead, if the user is logged in, any write action (set column values) will consume 1 update.
If you write values to any basic column (text, number, date, etc.) via a Set Column Values action, regardless of whether it’s in the Glide Table or not and the user is logged in or not, this action will consume 1 update.
Unfortunately, a custom form or filter is a big update consuming and should be avoided. Glide have released some improvements to avoid all this (e.g.: In-App filter) and I hope, they will fix this soon.
Is this true. In one of my Apps, I had the same set up and the updates were counting even though the user was a visitor.
I just say though that this was a few months back that I last tested this. Is this a new thing or what?
There is an idea
If I have a “solid” business case that I think would work perfectly with Glide, I submit a proposal to Glide detailing what the problem is, how the use of Glide would help solve that problem. If there is any need to collaborate with experts in delivering the solution then Glide invests by allowing me access to advanced features at a very low fee until I make enough revenue. Of course this would be something that Glide also thinks has potential to scale or have impact in companies which means it would be a “win-win”. Please make it happen @david
Much like the community challenges. It might be fun thing to do.
You can even use AI to evaluate if the proposals are feasible and have potential to make money for both the developer and Glide
A Visitor user writing values to USC does not generate an update. You can test my demo and play with my charts here: https://myfactory.glide.page
Just enable the Filter Data switch on any chart and set its max/min values as many times as you like. My edits counter never increases and this demo was released 3-4 months ago.
No. My app is created on pages. I will have to check this out and then I will let you know what I discover. I really hope this is the case. It would be the best news ever…
Reopening the discussion: I’m trying to migrate data from Google Sheets to Glide Tables; however, I’m encountering an issue when importing my CSV files into Glide Tables related to the maximum 5 MB limit for import. My tables are larger than 5 MB! Any suggestions for a solution?
