I am trying to create a view where a logged in user would only see content if a particular custom user field in their own record matched the filter.

I have been able to set up the filter:

Select items with field:
wpcf-board-status is a string equal to Yes

This makes sure the view only shows the user records for Members of the Board.

However- I want each Board Member to only see their OWN information - so how do I ALSO filter for the logged in user only?

I know I can filter a regular view to be only posts that belong to the logged in user - but I don't see that option for User views!

Thanks.

Never mind! I figured out that when I called the view, I could use a shortcode parameter making the UserID match the logged in user.
Thanks!
