Displaying a List of the Records Assigned to You
On kintone apps, you can create a personalized view that displays only the records assigned to you. With this view you can quickly check the records relevant to you, even when you are using the app with other users.
This article provides step-by-step instructions for configuring an app so that it displays a list of the records assigned to whoever is viewing it. By creating a view with Logged-in user specified as a filter condition, you can avoid the hassle of making a separate view for each member.
Preparation: Add a field for entering an assigned user
Before you can create a personalized view, you need to place a field for entering an assigned user on the app form.
In this example, a "User selection" field is placed on the app form and named "Assigned to."
Next, use either of the following methods to create a view that displays only the records assigned to the user who is viewing the app.
- Method 1: Create the view from App Settings
- Method 2: Create the view from the "View" screen (the top page of the app)
Method 1: Create the view from App Settings
To create the view from App Settings, follow the steps below.
-
On the "View" screen (the main page of the app), click the App Settings icon (the gear-shaped icon) at the upper right of the screen.
-
On the App Settings screen and click the App Settings tab.
-
Click the Add new view button to create a new view, or click Duplicate to copy an existing view.
