I am using accout record for storing some temporary values as filters from choice. It works perfectly. But in one app I need to allow also this access to users who are not signed-in. Thus this concept is not feasible. Is there any other way how to store some values in temporary variables, which ca…

Just use user specific column. Also works when you are not signed in - but will disappear when person e.g. is logged out Take a look here [image] My impression of "USCs store data on the user's device only" is inaccurate, and that's good, but Just a sidebar to help expl…

Tnx 4 your effort! I introduced additional user specific column in the accounts table named “FilterCatUserSpec” where I have written the selected value from CHOICE component. For signedin users it works like before, i.e. correct. Unfortunately, for NOT-signedin users it doesn’t function, alike non-…

Can you show a screen shot of that FilterCatUserSpec table?

[Filter] It works in the completely the same way as in the case of not-userspec column! I.e. for non-signedin users the components that write into these columns are not displayed on the form at all! For signedin users thy are displayed correctly.

[image] Jeff_Hager: You can’t use the user table to store those values. ah, nice catch :+1: I missed that (obviously)

There is no additional complication concerning this funcionality: I have the tab coupled to Accounts table In that tab I have following components: a) the details list of published articles with the volume where the article is published b) Choice component for defuining the filter the published …

Hello! Usually I’m using independent table with single row and only User Specific column. If i need to write by Choice component from any place so i using custom collection ( with choice components inside)related to this single row table and fetch data to any place by single value column. Also use…

Interesting tip: so it is a kind of “clipboard” table, where you have several user specific columns for different named “variables”? I checked that now, good approach!
