Hi Glide community,

I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to create something analogous to a per-user filter except for multiple users.

For example, say I have a calendar and two types of users, A and B (for clarification there are multiple users A and multiple users B). In the calendar tab, I want users A to see entries only relevant to them and vice versa for B. Essentially, I’m trying to organize by _user type_ as opposed to _individual user_. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Using your calendar example, create a column in your calendar entries sheet that contains “Group A” or “Group B”. Also create a sheet that contains a list of users and the group that they belong to. Now you can create a multiple relation column in the calendar sheet to link the group name column to the group name column in the users sheet. Next you will create a lookup column that uses that relation to build an array list of users emails. You can now use the lookup column you created in a filter to filter by signed in user. Each user will only see calendar entries for the group that they belong to.
