I’m building a multi-user form in Glide and I’m facing a dilemma. If I use user-specific columns to prevent users from overwriting each other’s inputs, I (as the admin) can’t see any of the data unless I view as that user. But if I use regular (non-user-specific) columns, then users end up overwriting each other’s inputs when using the form at the same time. What’s the recommended way to allow multiple users to fill out a form simultaneously, without interference, _and_ still have their submitted data visible to me as the admin?
normally i wouldnt mind on just clicking on view as if they were few members , but if there was to be many members, then that would be feasible. any assistance in this matter would help a ton.
Thanks so much

I think there’s something wrong here. Wouldn’t the custom form be in a helper table, and your submitted entries be in a different table in basic columns?
If you do it that way, you can view the submitted data in the “destination” table, and still keep user-specific columns (as it should be) in your custom form.

If you use a native form, then all of your issues are automatically taken care of.

ok so what i did was pretty much use the email and make row owners for every new submission that was created. i just added an action button right before called “get started” to create the row with a prefilled email so they naturally become the row owner and thus are individual and wont rewrite each other. Thanks alot for the help guys, really appreciate it
