Hi all.  
I’m working on a template created by @NoCodeNoProblem.  
I want to add a feature where it shows whether the users are online or no.  
I’m using the old version of glide(2021).  
Can someone please help me?

Basically, where you have actions around the app, add a step to set the current date/time to a column in the user profiles row.

Then calculate the difference between Now and that timestamp using a math column.

`(Now - timestamp)*24*60`

If that difference is less than X (X being determined by you - in minutes) , then Active, else Inactive.
