USEREMAIL() row filter not working as expected

Ciaran_Hope · 10-28-2019 07:21 PM

Using one of the template examples, I’ve attempted to create a personal row filter by a users email. The example is:

[Assigned Tech].[IT Email] = USEREMAIL()

Problem: This row filter condition works fine for me, but if I share the app with a colleague, they do not see filtered material based on their own email. Doesn’t USEREMAIL() work for them too?

It’s pretty frustrating. Does anyone know why it doesn’t work? Is it because I’m not on a paid plan yet? I thought the idea was to test with <10 users and then pay if you want to scale it up?!

Anyone ever seen this before or have a tip? Thanks in advance!

Did you invite them to the app with the same email that is in the table?
Are there actually any records assigned to them to see?

Maybe test that their email is actually coming through correctly by setting some column’s initial value to USEREMAIL()?

I’ve gone back to testing a second email of my own, as at least I know I can control the test! To answer your questions,

yes, there are records assigned to them.
they (and I in my problem analysis) have come to the app with the same email in the table.
I just set a column initial value to USEREMAIL() as you suggested and it pulls through.

Not sure where to turn or what to try next.
