1. Head over to the Glide website and log in to your account.
2. Open up the project where you want to set up the public directory.

1. In your project's dashboard, find and click on the "Data" tab.
2. Locate and select the data source that will serve as the basis for your public directory. This is usually a Google Sheet or Glide Table.

1. Make sure your data source is well-organized. Each row should represent a unique entry (like a contact or item), and each column should represent an attribute (like name, email, phone number).
2. Add a column labeled "Public" and use boolean values (TRUE/FALSE) or similar to indicate which entries will be part of the public directory.

1. Go to the "Layout" tab to start designing your app’s user interface.
2. Choose the type of screen where you want to display your public directory (e.g., List, Tiles, or Cards).

1. Click on the "+" button to add a new tab or screen to your app.
2. Select “List” to create a new list screen.

1. In the list screen configuration, bind the list to your data source.
2. Use the “Filter” option to filter the entries where the "Public" column value is TRUE.

1. Click on a list item to customize its layout.
2. Choose which fields to display, such as name, email, phone number, or any other relevant data.

1. Once the list layout is configured, go back to your project’s main dashboard.
2. Click on the “Share” button to publish your app.

1. Copy the URL provided after publishing your app.
2. Share this URL with anyone who needs access to the public directory.

By following these steps, a public directory can be efficiently created and shared using Glide.
