Dynamical Views by @UserName

Dear All,i wish to ask you if it is possibile with LN 8.x to implement a dynamical view with the following select:

Select Form = “Person” & UserNameField = @UserName

with the precedent version of LN <= 7.x it is not possibile !

Subject: Private view

You can use @Username only in a private view.

Subject: Re: user specific view

Whilst it is not possible or desirable to have a user specific selection criteria in a public view (because the public view indices are generated by a server process that has no concept of who you are) it is possible to have a view categorised by the “UserNameField”.

You could then access the view using the show single category feature and only see the data as if it had just made a dynamic selection.

I think that would give you what you want.

HTH, Rob

Subject: private views…

…are “reliable” ?

sometimes i use the solution proposed by Robin Wills and similar.

With LN >= 8.x using private views on applications with >1000 users and/or in replication with others server… is a good solution ? the performance are more advanced with the previous LN release <=7.x ?

Subject: No - check the help file it tells you explicitly
