How to create a product launch tracker in Glide?

Step 1: Create a Google Sheet

  1. Head over to Glide and log in.
  2. Hit the "New Project" button.
  3. Pick "Google Sheets" as your data source.

Step 3: Building the Interface

  1. Glide will whip up an app interface from your spreadsheet.
  2. Tweak the layout by picking different components like lists, forms, and detail views.
  3. For the main screen, go with the "List" layout to show all product launches.

Step 4: Add Detailed Views

  2. Customize it by adding components like:
  • Text: To show product names and notes.
  • Date/Time: To show the launch date.
  • Choice: For status updates (e.g., Upcoming, Launched, Delayed).
  • User Profiles: To assign team members.

Step 5: Adding Actions and Workflow

  1. Add an "Add Product" button by going to the main screen and picking "Floating Button".
  2. Set the action to "Form" so users can add new products.
  3. In the form, add fields like Product Name, Launch Date, Status, etc.
  4. Set up extra actions like "Mark As Completed" by adding a "Checkbox" component to track task completion.

Step 6: Setting Up Visibility and Filters

  1. Go to each component in the detailed view.
  2. Use the "Visibility" setting to show or hide fields based on certain conditions (e.g., only show "Completed Tasks").
  3. Add filters to the main list to sort launches by status, date, or team member.

Step 7: Sharing and Testing

  1. Go to the Glide settings menu.
  2. Find the "Share" option and copy the app link.
  3. Share the link with your team for testing and feedback.
  4. Review and tweak based on the feedback.

Step 8: Publishing the App

  2. Click on "Publish App".
  3. Pick a subdomain and customize the branding as needed.
  4. Share the final app link with all stakeholders and team members.

Additional Tips:
