How to create a task management system in Glide?

Step 1: Sign Up or Log In to Glide

Head over to Glide and either sign up for a new account or log in if you already have one. Easy peasy.

Step 2: Start a New Project

Once you're in, hit the "New Project" button. Choose between "App" or "Page" based on what you need.

Step 3: Choose Data Source

Decide where your data will live. Options include Google Sheets, Excel, Glide Tables, or Airtable. Google Sheets is a solid choice for simplicity.

Step 4: Create Your Spreadsheet

Set up a Google Sheet with columns like Task Name, Description, Status, Due Date, Assigned To, and Priority. Fill it with some sample data or your actual tasks.

Step 5: Link Spreadsheet to Glide App

In Glide, link to the Google Sheet you just made. This lets Glide read and write data to your sheet. Pretty cool, right?

Step 6: Configure Tabs

Glide will auto-create tabs based on your sheet. Tweak and rename these tabs to suit your needs. Maybe something like "All Tasks," "In Progress," and "Completed."

Step 7: Design the Layout

Pick a layout for showing your task data. Options include List, Tiles, or Details. Adjust these settings to make your tasks look just right.

Step 8: Add Forms and Buttons

Create forms for adding or updating tasks. Click the "+" icon to add a form button. Configure the form fields to match your spreadsheet columns. Simple, right?

Step 9: Set Up Filters and Sorting

To keep things organized, set up filters and sorting. For example, filter completed tasks to show in the "Completed" tab, or sort tasks by due date.

Step 10: Configure User Profiles (Optional)

If multiple people are using your system, set up user profiles to personalize the experience. Enable user profiles in settings and link to a user table in your sheet.

Step 11: Publish and Share

Once you're happy with your task management system, publish the app. Share the link with your team or anyone who needs access.

Step 12: Continuous Updates

Keep updating and refining your system based on feedback. Add new features or columns as needed to keep things running smoothly.
