Hi Glide community — I’m trying to troubleshoot a Collection component that is showing far fewer rows than I expect.

I have a table called **Clean Contacts**. In the Data Editor, when I apply the relevant filters, I get about **104 matching rows**. But in the app Layout, my Collection component using **Clean Contacts** only shows fewer than **48 total contacts**.

The Collection source is definitely **Clean Contacts**.

The filters on the Collection are:

- `normalized_institution` is the signed-in user’s `normalized_institution`
- `June 9th Registered` doesn’t equal `1`
- `First` is not empty

The signed-in user I’m testing as is **Jodie Manale** , and she is assigned to the same institution that I’m trying to display contacts for. The `normalized_institution` value appears to match the institution I want.

Things I’ve already checked/tried:

- Confirmed the Collection source is **Clean Contacts**
- Confirmed the user profile has the correct institution
- Checked that the same filters appear to be applied in the Data Editor and Layout
- Looked for pagination/page size issues
- Tried removing/changing filters, but I still can’t get the Collection to match the expected number of rows

Question:  
Why would a Collection component show significantly fewer rows than the Data Editor when using the same table and filters? Are there other app-level restrictions, row owners, user profile context issues, pagination settings, or computed column behavior that could cause this?

Screenshots attached showing the Data table and the Collection filter setup.

In the filter of the layout editor, are you sure “normalized\_institution” is pointing to to “normalized\_institution” on the user profile specifically?
