Hello, I would like to know how to enable item selection by a user. Expl: A user likes an article that he has put as favorite or not and we would like to see them outside of the favorite table to do a collection. Is that possible? thanks ---

Definitely! If you’re wanting to display both favorites list & entire list on same screen, you’ll want to use a Details layout (see the Layout options on right side of the Builder screen). Lf you’d like to display their favorites list on an entirely different screen, you’d want to apply a filter (located under “Options” on right side of builder screen) on either an online list or the screen itself. See documentation [here](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/values/screen-values#filtering-inline-lists)! ---

Thank you very much @MegannLock. this displays the selection but when I’m into it I can only see one item 😑 Relations are way harder than I thought 🙁 ---

You could actually accomplish this without relations as long as you’re using “user-specific” columns or the “is favorited” column to store their favorites. Can you tell me a bit about how you’re wanting it set up? Showing favorites list on a diff screen or on same screen as “all” list? ---

@MegannLock I think with a diagram it will be easier to understand. When I use “user-specific” columns I have no information displayed. I just want the article selected to be displayed in different areas ( 2 to be exact). ![Capture d’écran 2022-02-12 à 19.34.53](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/f/7f3a55ec89972f9ca6a5cb910b209b02a84e5968.jpeg) ---

Oh!! Okay. If you’re wanting selections and articles to be user-specific, you’ll need to use supporting columns (marked user specific) to store their “selections”. Try using a custom action on the selection list to “set column value” (column would be the user-specific columns) \> “show detail screen”. Then you can use those filtering options and display their selections as an inline list on any other screen in the app.
