This article explains how to configure GravityBoard to display only entries submitted by the currently logged-in user. This setup is ideal for creating personalized boards where users can view and manage their own data.

## Overview

By default, GravityBoard displays all entries submitted to a Gravity Forms form. You can limit the board to show only entries created by the current user by using **Conditional Logic** in the board’s **Advanced** settings.

### Common use cases

- **Personal dashboards**: Users see and manage only their own submissions
- **Task management**: Users track only their assigned tasks or projects
- **Application tracking**: Applicants view the status of their own applications
- **Event registrations**: Attendees manage only their own registrations

## Step-by-step instructions

### 1. Open the GravityBoard settings

- In the WordPress admin, go to **Forms** and select your form.
- Click **Create a Board**, or edit an existing board.
- The GravityBoard settings page opens.

GravityBoard offers multiple configuration tabs: Configure Board, GravityView, Notifications, Permissions, Appearance, and Advanced

### 2. Open the Advanced tab
- Click the **Advanced** tab in the board settings.
- Locate the **Feed Conditions** section.

The Advanced tab contains the Conditional Logic section for filtering entries

### 3. Add a condition to filter by the current user
- Under **Conditional Logic**, click **+ Condition**.
- Configure the condition as follows:
    - First dropdown: **Created By**
    - Second dropdown: **is**
    - Third dropdown: **Currently Logged-in User**

This condition ensures the board only displays entries created by the user who is currently logged in.

The condition "Created By is Currently Logged-in User" filters the board to show only the current user's entries

### 4. Save your settings
Click **Save Settings** to apply the changes.

## Important considerations

### Users must be logged in

This filter only works for logged-in users. If a visitor is not logged in:

- The board will appear empty
- No cards will be displayed

> **Note:** Consider adding a login prompt or restricting access to the board so only logged-in users can view it.

### Combining with other conditions

You can add more rules to further filter entries:

- Click **+ AND** to require multiple conditions (for example, user **and** status).
- Click **+ Group** to create alternative conditions using OR logic.

Examples:

- Show only the current user’s entries **and** entries with a specific status.
- Show only the current user’s entries **and** entries created within a date range.

### Permissions still apply

The user-based filter works alongside the board’s permission settings. Users will only see entries if they:

- Match the conditional logic rules, and
- Have permission to view the board (configured in the **Permissions** tab).

## Related settings

### Permissions tab

Use the **Permissions** tab to control who can view, add, edit, or delete cards. These rules apply in addition to the user filter.

### Conditional Logic options

In addition to filtering by user, Conditional Logic supports filtering by:

- Form field values
- Entry properties (such as date created or payment status)
- Entry meta data

## Troubleshooting

### The board shows no entries when logged in

- Confirm that entries exist for the logged-in user.
- Make sure the form records the **Created By** value for submissions.

### All entries are still visible

- Click **Save Settings** after adding the condition.
- Verify the condition is set to **Created By** → **is** → **Currently Logged-in User**.

### Non-logged-in users can see entries

- The filter only applies to logged-in users.
- Restrict board access using WordPress roles or other access controls.

## Summary

Filtering a GravityBoard by the logged-in user is a simple way to create personalized, user-specific boards. By adding a single conditional rule in the **Advanced** tab, you can ensure each user sees only their own entries. Combine this with permission settings for full control over who can view and manage board content.
