Hello good people!

How can i add a constrain a search in a repeating group to only show things created by a current user?

For example:

In my service users can create profiles for teachers they manage. So in my account i can have 5 teachers under me for example.

Users request teachers by filling a form.

I have a thing called booking forms and every time a booking form is created it goes to that users booking requests.

Now i want to enable users to approve those teacher requests. And the person that manages those teachers is the one that can make that desition.

How do i show in a page all booking requests for teachers that the current user has created?

In the RG data source, which I’m assuming is a “search for requests”, click on that search to pull up the constraints window. Created by = current user. Is this what you want?

Something like that!

In my case USERS registers, then they can create TEACHER profiles as a separate “thing”. I want to be able to display in a RG the booking forms that are waiting for approvals and that the booking form contains a “teacher profile” created by the current USER.

If i put search for “booking forms” and constrain it to “created by current user”, the current user will not see any booking requests because it wasn’t created by him/her.

I want to show booking requests from anyone that requests a teacher that was created under that users account.

Oh, I understand now. Ok you want to do this:

Type = Booking Forms

Source = Search for Booking forms > Constraint: Teacher Profile is in Search for Teacher Profiles > Constraint: Created by = Current User.

Just did this but its giving me a problem when i select “do a search for Teacher Profiles”

It says:

Search for booking forms: value should be a list of texts but right now is a list of Teachers Profiles.

Got lost there!

Can you send a screenshot or link? Sounds like we have some data type mis-matching.

Booking Forms should be a data type, Teacher Forms should also be a data type.

Ahh got to love when things works! jajaja

It was my mistake, didn’t specified the Teachers ID in that last search. Thank you so much again for helping me. =)
