Hi,

I am using the in App Filter function but i would like it to be user dependent. Currnetly when I check a filter box it then filters for all other users as well. I was trying to make a column that was user specific and link the filter but I can’t figure out a way to do it.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks

It should be.

That should not happen. Can you show how you have it setup?

Ok cool, I didn;t thiunk it should happen. But for context, I’ve not published the app yet. I am just using the view as user button.

Here is how it set up though . I have a table collection that is grouped by a library type:

and i have set the filter on the library type.

</div>

If i set the filter as myself as the user like this:

It then shows when I view it as a different user

Actually, I can replicate that behaviour and I believe it’s a builder bug. I suspect that if you publish the App you will find that it works correctly in the published version.

I’ll reclassify this thread as a bug and tag it for escalation.

Does it happen if you try it in the real app opposed to the builder? Switching users in the builder might have caused the problem with that filter.

I agree, sometimes it do be like that. A refresh of the tab usually fixes it.

The problem has obviously not been resolved.  
Indeed when I decide to filter certain map criteria; each different users see my filter criteria. And updating doesn’t change things… How to do it??

Are you experiencing this with different user in the published app?
