Dynamic User Filtering

Instead of hardcoding a specific user's name in your criteria, you can use special variables that automatically filter based on who is viewing the search. This lets you create a single search that shows personalized results for every user.

The "Mine" Variable

Mine

Filters results to show only records where a specific field matches the currently logged-in user.

Use Cases:

💡 Example: My Customers Search

Create a customer search that each sales rep can use to see only their own customers:

FieldOperatorValue
Sales RepisMine
Is InactiveisFalse

Result: When John views the search, he sees his customers. When Sarah views it, she sees hers. One search serves everyone!

Other User Variables

Variable Returns Example Use
Mine Current logged-in user Sales Rep = Mine
My Team Users in my team hierarchy Sales Rep = My Team
None Field is empty/unassigned Assigned = None

💡 Pro Tip: Deployment

Searches using "Mine" are perfect candidates for the Dashboard View deployment option. Each user sees their own personalized data without any configuration.
