Hello!
I’m working on an app designed for each user add, edit and delete their own records to build an inventory (of sorts). The data entered is intended to be private and not available to any other user.
I’ve attempted to accomplish this by marking all columns in the table as a “user-specific column”, but that doesn’t really work. (I am not currently using Row IDs.)
Right now, if user 1 enters a new record, user 2 still sees an empty record. The goal is for user 2 to have no change to their experience no matter how many records user 1 adds, edits or deletes.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!

Have a look at the difference between row ownership and user-specific columns. Both allow a personalized experience, though at different levels in the app.
