Report - Filter on current user does not work

Anne-Solene Monrouzeau

Hi,

I created a report to filter on current user. It works with myself, but not for another team mate. She sees data assigned to me vs herself. Any idea how to troubleshoot / fix?

Report as I see it (my team mate should see her name, but she sees mine)

Is she logging into her own Smartsheet account? How is she accessing the report?

Is she accessing the report directly or from a dashboard? If it's from a dashboard, check the Viewer Mode setting on the report widget. In order for her to see her own results, you'll want it set to "Their own perspective". If it's set to "Last widget editor", it will show yours (or whoever last configured the widget).

Hi Sarah!

That was the trick. Thanks for sharing! I updated the viewer mode and it works. Very strange setting in my opinion!
