Hi

Which is the best way to reduce the update count to build app.

  • Use native forms vs custom
  • Use Inline List filter vs Choice components if users are signed in
  • Remove sign in option if not critical to business so you can use USCs
  • Eliminate tracking # of clicks unless critical to business
  • Eliminate all nice to have updates and only use must haves (big difference)

Very good advice imo. Sometimes people want to have too many things in their MVP version.

Hi @Joe_Gabriele
This subject is very important, thank you very much for sharing!
But explain please

  • How we will decrease updates by removing Sign In and using USC instead?
    Decreasing ADDs of new User Rows?
  • And what do you mean “Inline List filter vs Choice components if users are signed in”?
    Just using native Glide Filter for the Inline List (on the right Options Panel)?

Non signed in users or ‘Visitors’ do not incur updates when using user specific columns. One downside is that USC columns for visitors are reset at the end of every session.

When you use Glides native filters you don’t incur any updates whether the user is signed in or not… if you use a choice component as a filter then you will incur updates if the user is signed in.

What it means.
Can you explain in detail please.

It means the next time they open the App, or even if they reload the page, any data they’ve entered into user specific columns will be gone.
