Reload Query

Refresh data from high-scale data sources.

The Reload Query action allows you to manually refresh queried data from a SQL data source. Changes made in the SQL database aren’t instantly synced in Glide, so the Reload Query action lets users manually refresh data when they make a change.

The action only appears in the action menu, either in the Layout Editor or in the Action Editor, if you already have a SQL data source in your app.

Setting up the Reload Query Action

1

Click on the plus (+) sign in the Components panel and select the Component you want to trigger the action.

2

In the General tab on the right side of the Layout Editor, navigate to the Actions section and select Reload query.

3

Select the icon and descriptive text to use in your app.

4

Select the data source you want to refresh the data for.

5

Choose which table the action should reload the query from.

6

When used with some components, you can optionally add Conditions for certain criteria to be met before a user can trigger this action.

Check the Introduction to Actions page for a full list of components that can be used to trigger actions.
