I’d like to be able to show a collection filtered by recently viewed. I was able to use a special component “Current Date” on an edit screen and save that into my collection’s table (user specific column) and later reference that when filtering, but when I try to add this special component on a regular page it’s not available. So i’m not sure how to capture and store a date stamp when a page is opened or clicked on in order to reference later as recently viewed or not. Anyone know how to do this? ---

It depends how you are navigating to the page. If it’s a top level tab that the user just clicks on in the navigation menu, then it’s not possible. You need an action. So for example if a user is clicking a collection to view a specific item, you can modify the item click action so that it first does a Set Column Values (to set the timestamp), followed by a Show Details Screen. ---

I thought to do this too, but I only see the ability to add one click action. Is that a limitation of a free plan? Will I be able to add more click actions once on a paid plan? Here’s what I see: ![screen recording](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/1/71518f0c1b98721861bae5e8c5ef9c4ad56b378b.gif) ---

Click on the existing action, and you will see an option to create a custom action. ![CleanShot 2024-02-29 at 00.46.41@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/c/6cd05bebfd5d93c4814424f50b31cd0722afb20b.png) > **[Introduction to Actions | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/getting-started/introduction-to-actions)** > > Add actions that users can trigger. ---

Cool. That worked! Now I need to figure out how to display when within last 7 days. I only see simple comparisons with no way to calculate within Last Viewed - 7 and today: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/7/a70f7f997b3ab89bea3a8c5533114877235f7fd3.jpeg) I imagine I need to add another column that returns true if within last 7 days… But if I have a column that calculates based on a user-specific column, will it’s values be user specific too? I tried doing this but the calculated columns aren’t user-specific, so it’s not working. ---

If you create a math column that calculates `Now-7`, you will get a date 7 days prior to today. Then you can use that value for your comparison.
