[@gingertom2009]

Why not use the Form Container. Does that not give what you wanted for multi-step?

[@prekshadutt2811]

Ahhh.... I'm in love with @Glide... I just completed making an app for my friends and cousins... ❤❤❤

[@DarrenAlderman]

That's awesome!

[@teamunleashyourpotential]

Very helpful. I hadn't considered using a form entry table separate from where the data will be stored. Also, I now have a better understanding of the user specific feature. Thanks, keep the videos coming.

[@DarrenAlderman]

Glad it was helpful! I find myself using the user specific table approach pretty often in Glide apps. I'd say 50% of the time. So it's a super handy trick to know and understand!

[@zarrisnico]

Thanks Darren, Hope you make more videos about tables and relations.

[@DarrenAlderman]

Nice! You're welcome.

[@thierryoberle6631]

Tank you very much Darren. I sas struggling finding a way to remove the « submit » button in a glide form to perform multi manually. And then I saw tour very efficient video and thé sun sas backdoor 😮😮😮

[@DarrenAlderman]

Ah great! Glad to help.

[@JamesErvinBerry]

My pleasure!

I'm trying to do this with a Mobile app form page. When I set an action on any of the Buttons in the block it disappears. Researching this I found that people are saying to NOT have the column user-specific. This would then open up the issue that if multiple users had it open at the same time, I'd be back to the reason you stated that you need to set columns, User-specific. I wonder if I've done something wrong or not followed your process or if Glide has changed. I figured it out from some great people on Glide Community. I had to add a row first before landing on the page. Now it behaves like yours and I can continue following your tutorial

[@DarrenAlderman]

Splendid! Advanced approaches can be tricky! - If you want to use a single table row for all users then all your fields should be user-specific and then on completion you can write the completed form to a new table. - The other way to do it is to create a row at the beginning and then the user is updating this(their) row as they go through the form. In this case, user-specific is not needed because the row is "user-specific" S/O to the Glide community! 👉 community.glideapps.com/

Parabéns e obrigado. Estou começando agora.

[@DarrenAlderman]

You are amazing!

[@MikeCarey101]

[@DarrenAlderman]

Thank you! Cheers!

Oops! Its me again first one commenting here 😂😅

[@DarrenAlderman]

Yes you are!

[@sheli4795]

Thanks for the very clear explanation, Darren. One question. How do I make a button that takes the user to this form (because I don't want the form showing in my sidebar)? Seems like it should be simple, but I can't seem to find the correct action that will do this.

[@DarrenAlderman]

You could hide the screen from the sidebar if using Pages or you can have a button use the Show New Screen action.

[@JamieIsInvesting]

Great content! Q: If i put the user specific questions is the User Profile table instead, would the effect be the same, In theory?

[@DarrenAlderman]

Possibly, but it really depends on making sure all the supporting infrastructure is in place.

[@benmitchell5551]

Hey, great video how can a user add or delete a field. Say i have an option where the user needs to add another topic in a new field can they click plus and the new field pops us for them to fill out. I have topic and topic 2 in my data sheet but they may or may not need to enter anything in topic 2 but i would like it to be an option

[@DarrenAlderman]

Great question. You would need a seperate table to store the choices. The choice component (www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/components/choice-component) can use that table as the data source. Then you can add a rich text component with a plus emoji or a button that opens a form (www.glideapps.com/docs/guides/other/forms) that adds to that table.

[@xkaba01]

Dear Darren, when I follow your steps and more people use it at one time they rewrite the record in "Entry Table" during going through multistep, so it looks like it works if only one user use it at one time. Is it like this?

[@xkaba01]

solved by setting all columnsin Entry Table to User-Specific

[@DarrenAlderman]

Yessir!!! User- specific is important and powerful

[@nadirabid103]

thank you

[@DarrenAlderman]

You're welcome

[@restosbruxellois5687]

Hi ! How do you link the data collected by the form with the user’s login e-mail? Is it possible to use this form to complete informations about a user and have all the data stored on the same line?? Thank you 🙏🙏

[@DarrenAlderman]

#1 - When you submit, you can get and store the user's email from the User Profile. #2 - Yes. That is what I show you how to do in this video. It's 3 separate pages, but all the data is stored on a single line.

[@wareairaviationservicesllc4933]

Another question, I have an app for an event and I have it set public no log in. Im guessing the use of user specific data would not work bc they are not logged in correct?

[@DarrenAlderman]

Correct, if users aren't logged in, the user specific data resets every time they visit the app.

[@tomstove1715]

Hi Darren, thank you for the tutorial - very helpful! I was wondering how you might go about saving screen values to the table? Some context, say I have a projects table and I'm adding a task to it (one to many realtionship - a project can have many tasks) and I need to access the projectID value to save it to the task table to create the relation. In the native form screen I have access to all of the screen values from the projects table. But as we're creating a custom form and hooking up everything from the actions screen, I don't see a way to access screen values from the actions screen when it comes to setting column values. Am I missing something or is there another way to do this? Thanks

[@DarrenAlderman]

I typically create a field in the User Profile called "Selected Project ID." I set this either when clicking on the project or after the project is created depending on the workflow. Then I can access that value from the User Profile when creating the task. You should only do that IF you don't have access to the "Screen Values". If you are on a project screen creating a task, then you should have access to the Screen Values where you can apply the project ID.

[@tomstove1715]

@@DarrenAlderman Hi mate, thank you for your reply. That's a great way of handling that, thanks. I always use the screen values if I can but just wasn't sure how to handle the situation when you don't have access to them (in the actions editor for example). Cheers

[@shantirubens5983]

Why is it that you need a Form Entry table plus a Form Submission table? Would this work the same if data were submitted on the same table?

[@DarrenAlderman]

The separate form entry table is required to support this multi-step form flow. If you just want a single page, you could definitely just use a single table with a form screen action.

[@wareairaviationservicesllc4933]

How can I embed this form into an existing app?

[@DarrenAlderman]

You can't embed a Glide project in another, but check out the new page button in your app, there is a quick way to add forms from there.

[@ravisharora19]

Can we do this with Airtable as the data source as well?

[@DarrenAlderman]

Absolutely! And the latest version of Glide has a quick multi-step form built in. just go to add a new page and select multi-step form.

[@fortudirich_]

Great one ! but it's too quickly demonstration

[@DarrenAlderman]

Glide can now create this in one click!

[@joshuadouglas7625]

You can pause, slow the video, or watch more than once.

[@sujnidejus6636]

VERY VERY FAST IT WAS

HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON YOU CAN 😁

I found it helpful to slow down the speed in the youtube playback settings :)
