How to use Glide’s slider component?

Step 1: Access Glide and Open Your App

Head over to Glide Apps and log in. Once you're in, open up the app project where you want to add that nifty slider component.

Step 2: Go to the Layout Editor

In your app project, find the "Layout" tab on the left side. This is where you can see all the different tabs and screens that make up your app.

Step 3: Choose or Create a Screen

Pick an existing screen where you want to add the slider, or create a new one by clicking the “+” icon in the tabs section. Easy peasy.

Step 4: Add a Component

On the screen you chose, click the “+” button to add a new component. This will show you a list of all the components you can add.

Step 5: Select the Slider Component

From the list, scroll down or use the search bar to find the "Slider" component. Click on it to add it to your screen. Simple, right?

Step 6: Configure the Slider

Once the slider is added, you'll see some configuration options on the right-hand side. Here are the key settings:

  • Data Source: Make sure the slider is linked to the right data column in your spreadsheet.
  • Minimum Value: Set the lowest value for the slider range.
  • Maximum Value: Set the highest value for the slider range.
  • Step Value: Define the increment between slider values (e.g., steps of 1, 5, 10).
  • Default Value: Decide if the slider should start at a specific value.

Step 7: Style the Slider

Customize how the slider looks by tweaking the design settings like color, size, and alignment. These settings are also in the right-hand pane under "Appearance."

Step 8: Save and Test

After you've configured and styled the slider, hit the "Save" button to apply the changes. Preview your app to test the slider and make sure it works as expected. Fingers crossed!

Step 9: Publish Your App

If everything looks good and the slider works correctly, go back to the app’s main menu and click “Publish” to make the updates live for your users.

And there you have it! You’ve successfully added and configured a slider component in your Glide app.
