How to filter to show only specific location data

Posted on by JClift

I'm building an app from a database that will contain data from multiple manufacturing facility locations. I need to filter the view so that the user can only see the data for their location. Any help would be appreciated!

    You will need a list of Users emails and their associated location. Then, when the user logs in, capture the location in the App.OnStart:  Set(loc,LookUp(userlist, email =User().Email, location)

    However, according to Microsoft,  App.OnStart will be deprecated and replaced by App.Formulas.

    I am currently using Named Formula so instead of the above set function I am putting 

    loc=LookUp(userlist, email= User().Email, location);

     

    You can then filter your database as Filter(database, Location = loc)
