How to implement user tagging in Glide?

Step 1: Create User Profiles

  • Open up the Glide app and head over to the Data Editor.
  • Add a fresh sheet and name it "Users".
  • In this "Users" sheet, set up columns for user details like Username, Email, User ID, and any other info you think is important.

Step 2: Enable User Profiles

  • Navigate to the app settings.
  • Flip the switch to enable user profiles.
  • Choose the "Users" sheet for the user profiles.
  • Map the right columns (like Email, Name, User ID) to the matching profile fields.

Step 3: Set Up the Tagging System

  • Add a new column to the "Posts" sheet (or any other sheet where users can tag others).
  • Call this column "Tagged Users".
  • Set the column type to "Relation" and link it to the "Users" sheet by matching usernames or emails.

Step 4: Create a Tagging Interface

  • Create a form or input field where users can add tags.
  • Use a choice component to let users pick from a list of usernames or user emails.
  • Bind the choice component to the "Tagged Users" column.

Step 5: Display Tagged Users

  • Go to the layout editor for the posts or relevant screen.
  • Add a list component to show tagged users.
  • Configure the list to reference the "Tagged Users" relation you set up in Step 3.
  • Customize the display to show user details like usernames or profile pictures.

Step 6: Update and Test

  • Save all your changes and publish the app.
  • Test the tagging feature by creating a post and tagging users.
  • Make sure tagged users show up correctly in the posts and that the relations are working properly.

Step 7: Optional Enhancements

  • Add notifications to let users know when they are tagged.
  • Use conditions or filters to control the visibility of tagged users' display.
  • Customize the UI to highlight or visually differentiate tagged users.
