Hi Glide Community,

I’m trying to create a filter for an inline list in my Glide app based on user selections for age group (Child/Adult) and sex (Male/Female). You can see the screenshot below to get an idea of the user interface I’m aiming for:

**Issue:**  
I love using the Choice components for user selection, but the problem is that they need to write to a spreadsheet. My app does not require users to log in, so I don’t have a specific place to save each user’s personal preferences. This means any single cell would be overwritten by multiple users simultaneously on the page.

**Question:**  
What are the best options to achieve this kind of filtering without requiring users to create their own profiles? Are there any creative solutions or workarounds to handle user-specific filters in a public app?

Does it really need to write the choice to the spreadsheet? Could you use User specific columns to hold the choices and filter based on that column?
