I’m building a card collection app where users search for cards then add them to their profile via checkboxes. How do I set this up?

Instead of checkboxes, I think you can enable favorites for each card item, then show them in an inline list for your “User Profile” tab, with the filter being “Is Favorited? = TRUE”.

Added some images for “Profile” tab of my test restaurant app.

This would also work by creating a user specific column and using a checkbox or switch in place of the favorite component.

Hey Jeff! Thank you!

I used a checkbox column with an in-line list on the profile page and set the visibility to appear if check box column was not empty.

Seems to be working fine, thanks!
