Hi! My teammate and I are currently tasked to build an app that will be used at several hundred locations. We want it so that only the information applicable to that location will be visible in the app. Right now, we feel our only option is to build an app per location. Is there any way we can build just ONE app and have all locations use it and still only be able to view their locations info (without relying on the user info)?

Yes, it is possible. You can build a SharePoint list that includes a column called location. Each list item would store 1 of the 100 locations. The user could select their location from a dropdown list or some other type of control. The records could then be filtered based on the selection.

Do not build an app for each location... Unless you are being paid by the number of apps you create, in which case, do that 😉

@mdevaney Thank you for your response. We're looking at possibly having to filter a SharePoint list of over 5,000 rows of information. How would you address this with one app?
