Conditional pages

[G73262R]

I am new to budibase, I have a few questions and hoping someone can give me a little advice or get me going in the right direction -

1. I noticed that user sign ups and logins are via budibase database where they are stored as "app users". Is there a way around that where I have a way of signing up users and storing the user info in my own database that I'm connected to or something outside the app itself?

2. When a user logs in for the first time, I want to have them fill out personal details before they can access any pages. How can I acheive that? Is there some sort of conditionals I can use that prevent them from seeing and/or accessing other pages until a form is filled out?

3. I want to build a client portal that is specific to each app user. Eg: the data displayed is only pertaining to their app user account which I hope to have some way to store in my database. Is there a way to achieve this? So far the only way I've gotten that to work is via queries that use views with a condition, but not sure if this is the right way to go about it?

Any help is appreciated!

Hey @G73262R,

1. No, there is no way around this. You must sign in using the Budibase user's system.
2. You can set up a public screen. This would use a combination of things, e.g., the Public API, to create the user in Budibase. Additionally, you could have saved actions to save additional information about that user to your table. Look into changing actions to get the user ID and then bind the newly created user to the row with additional information.
3. Combining views + filtering using the current user bindings would allow you to achieve this.

I hope this helps.
