Hello, I have a doubt, is it possible to use variables in Glide?. I need to do something like this:
I Don’t want to use a log in so I don’t have the user’s email, My choice component is loaded from a sheet with two values. my Tab is a Details Tab and I have two inline list (for 2 maps) and I show or hide the inline list deppending on the choice component value.
My problem is that this can’t be used by two users at a time because the choice component keeps changing everytime a user changes the value, So I want to make my choice component with variables or something like that.
Is it possible? or what can I do? I Don’t want to use user log in to do this

> call_me_hand Hey all! Wanted to create a quick and very rough demo of Glide’s two newest features: User Specific Columns and User Profiles. The video covers the process from sheet creation to feature implementation. Hope this helps until an official video comes out! [https://youtu.be/9LLur9db8NM](https://youtu.be/9LLur9db8NM)

Thank you @Jeff_Hager I’ve already looked both solutions but both ways need to use Sign in public with email. In my case I don’t want to do my app with Sign in

> Ok, @Mark just clarified for me that user specific columns will only store the value indefinitely if you have email sign in enabled in the app. It’s my understanding that they currently will work for public apps, but only until you close it. At least in this case it would be good for temporary values, like custom filters, or calculators, where you don’t need to store the value after you close the app. Still not sure yet if we can count total likes from all users. I’ll need to test that yet.
