I’m really enjoying using Glide to help students on my courses. One thing that eludes me though is the ability to have a notes section that only each individual student can see.
Currently I use comments when it’s info I want back like formative tests or as a noticeboard but I’d like students to be presented with videos and texts within the app and allow them to add thier own private notes.
I’d be very grateful for any ideas!

Hey there @Craig_Ruxton welcome!
You’re going to want to check out User-Specific Columns
Brilliant Jack, thank!!

I’m having trouble displaying private notes per user, per item. For background, I’m building a personal inventory app and I want users to be able to add personal, private notes to individual items they’ve logged. I believe I’ve set it up correctly but what happens is the note I leave associated with a specific Product ID still shows up in the details page of every product in my account. See below.
As you can see here, the data in the backend shows the comment and correct Product ID, so why is it showing on every product page?
First, you are using row owners along with user specific columns. Kind of pointless because row owners only allows users to see their own rows. User specific columns store unique data for multiple different users in the same column. No other user could enter data into a user specific column if it only has one row owner, so it’s just unnecessary complication. Pick one. Either Row Owners with a row for each user, or User Specific Columns with one eye that stores data for multiple users.
Second, you are either not using a relation as the source of your notes collection, or you do not have any filters. Either way, there is currently nothing linking the product to the notes.
Third, rather than a separate notes table, just add a user specific column to your product table, and add a Notes or Text entry component directly to the product details screen. Must easier to set up and maintain, and it it uses a whole lot less rows.
