First things first, make sure your data is neat and tidy so Glide can understand it. Usually, a Google Sheets document works best. The first row should have headers for each column, representing different data fields.

1. Head over to Glide.
2. Sign in with your Google account.
3. Click on ‘New Project’ and pick ‘Google Sheets’ as your data source.
4. Choose the right Google Sheets document.

1. In the Glide interface, your data will show up on the left side. Glide will automatically create a basic app layout using your data.
2. Customize each screen by adding components like lists, charts, and tables that best represent your data.
3. Use the ‘Layout’ tab to add visual elements like text, images, and custom actions.

1. Create computed columns in Glide to do calculations directly within the app. This can be done in the ‘Data’ tab.
2. Add ‘Computed columns’ and choose from options like Rollups, Math, Template, etc.
3. Customize the columns to calculate sums, averages, or any other metric needed for your report.

1. Open your Google Sheets document.

2. Go to Extensions > Apps Script.

3. Write a script to generate automated reports based on events or intervals. For example, set scripts to create and email reports weekly or monthly.
   ```javascript
   function sendReport() {
   var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1");
   var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
   
   // Process your data and generate a report
   var report = "Your processed data to be filled here";
   
   // Email the report
   MailApp.sendEmail("recipient@example.com", "Automated Report", report);
   }

   function createTrigger() {
   ScriptApp.newTrigger('sendReport')
   .timeBased()
   .everyDays(7)
   .create();
   }
   ```

4. Save the script and set up triggers to automate the report generation.

1. Make sure the generated reports link to your Google Sheets.
2. In Glide, add a new tab or component to display these reports.
3. Use the ‘Data’ tab to bring in new data, and link it with your Google Sheets using formulas or Glide’s computed columns for real-time tracking.

1. In the Glide interface, use ‘Actions’ to set up notifications.
2. Customize these notifications to alert users about new reports or updates.
3. Use conditions to trigger notifications based on specific criteria within your data.

1. After setting up all components, thoroughly test the automatic reporting features.
2. Ensure that data is updating correctly and that reports are generated and sent as expected.
3. Make any necessary adjustments in Glide or Google Apps Script to refine your automated reporting system.

1. Once everything is tested and functioning properly, deploy your Glide app.
2. Monitor the system periodically to ensure ongoing accuracy and performance.
3. Collect feedback from users and make iterative improvements as needed.
