Glide: development features and setup

Glide turns spreadsheets and data into no-code business applications. It suits teams that want to work with information through a dedicated interface.

Tool by the Otomatzia editorial team · source content checked on

Overview

Instead of scrolling through rows on a phone, an employee can open an item and update the data relevant to their role. This is useful for field work, inventory, and events. Before setup, clean the data and decide which fields can be edited, because an attractive interface does not fix duplicate records or unclear ownership of the information.

Features

  • Building applications on top of data and spreadsheets
  • Interfaces for teams and customers
  • Sharing information across work screens

Business uses
