Hello Team. Thanks in advance for your help. I am developing an app that requires sign-in to access it, and then the users would use various check-boxes to mark when tasks are complete. Is there an elegant way to develop this? I have developed multiple relations to achieve it, but I feel like there should be a very easy way to be done. ---

Are these tasks that are the same for all users, or does each user create their own tasks? How do you have it set up right now? I’d hate to think about and suggest something you have already done. ---

Jeff thanks for your response. So, there are common tasks for every user. They mark a task as completed or not, and receive related badges. So far, we extract the users from the login sheet to a sheet with all their check-boxes. Each user is row owner, and has e.g. 80 check-boxes. We then have 80 more cells with simple text (the tasks’ names) to indicate that the task is available for the user. Now, we use one separate relation per task to correlate tasks (on the tasks’ sheet) with tasks (on the users line), retrieve the check-boxes and filter per signed-in user. Thanks for your willingness to help. ---

I also have a Task example in [https://concepts.glideapp.io/](https://concepts.glideapp.io/) that’s probably similar to @spencersRus’s example. ---

We just released a new feature today that makes this easy. You’ll add a `Basic > Boolean` column in the data editor and check `Column is user specific` ---

Here’s the demo: ![ScreenFlow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/a/a8c14c5831546b2a0e7a8773bbcc38cf46d670e1.gif) ![Screen Shot 2020-04-14 at 8.32.07 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/4/4aec3beeb553e196c72527f15ca7fd76a1c5d341.png) Created the Checkbox column from within Glide and marked it as “User Specific”. Then created the rollups/math/template as normal. ---

@david So glad to see this feature released! I was playing with this briefly earlier with the like button and a couple of choice components. Seemed to work great in the builder. I was able to leave and come back and refresh and everything stuck. I tried the same app on my phone within the browser and every time I refreshed the screen, it lost everything. So I added the app to my homescreen and same thing. Works fine until I force close the app and reopen it. Then everything I set previously is lost. I’ll PM you the link. ---

Let’s show it to @Mark — he knows the feature top to bottom. ---
