How to implement an event registration system in Glide?

Step 1: Create a New Glide App

Head over to Glide Apps (glideapps.com) and log in.
Click on "Create New App."
Choose "Start from Scratch".
Link it to a Google Sheet that will store the event and registration data.

Step 2: Setup the Google Sheet

In your linked Google Sheet, create a new sheet tab and name it "Events".
Add columns for Event details: EventID, EventName, Date, Location, Description.
Create another sheet tab named "Registrations".
Add columns for Registration details: RegistrationID, EventID, ParticipantName, Email, PhoneNumber.

Step 3: Configure the "Events" Tab in Glide

In the Glide app builder, click on the "+" icon to add a new tab and select your "Events" sheet.
Design the layout to display events. Use the "List" view for a clean presentation.
Configure each list item to show the EventName, Date, and Location.
Enable the "Details" view for each event item to display Description and other details.

Step 4: Add a Registration Form

Inside the "Events" detail view, add a Button component and label it "Register".
Set the button action to "Form Screen".
In the form configuration, set the destination to the "Registrations" sheet.
Add form fields: ParticipantName, Email, PhoneNumber.
Enable the automatic addition of EventID by configuring it to write the current EventID from the event details.

Step 5: List Registrations for Each Event

Go back to the "Events" tab and add an Inline List component to the event detail view.
Link this list to the "Registrations" sheet.
Use a filter to show only the registrations where EventID matches the current EventID.
Configure the list to display registration details such as ParticipantName, Email, and PhoneNumber.

Step 6: Configure User Profiles (optional)

To personalize the registration process, enable user profiles in the app settings.
Use the "Users" sheet (or create one if not present) to store user details like Name, Email, etc.
In the registration form, pre-fill the ParticipantName and Email fields with data from user profiles.

Step 7: Test Your App

Click on "Preview" in the Glide app builder to test the app functionality.
Add a few sample events in the "Events" sheet and check if they appear correctly in the app.
Test the registration process to ensure data is saved in the "Registrations" sheet and appears under the correct event.

Step 8: Publish and Share

Once satisfied with your setup, go to the "Publish" section.
Customize your app URL and set visibility settings.
Share the app link with potential participants to allow them to register for events.
