I am working on locking down screens and functions right now, and I know I need to tie it to the current user logged in. Please tell me the best way to do that now, and where all I need to create a column for it.

Thanks for all the clear answers to what are probably very simple questions.

Whenever you see this anywhere when building the app, you are working directly with the signed in user’s row of data in the user profile table.

I wish it were labelled that way…

Thanks. That clears that up for me.
