## Short answer

Use Logged-in User Magic Text for personal values, relationships for user-specific records, and conditional visibility for role- or state-specific sections.

## Intended outcome

A home screen that changes meaningfully based on the current user’s data.

## Requirements

- User accounts
- Profile or role properties
- User-related content

## Step by step

1. **Identify differences**

   List only the content or actions that truly vary by user.

2. **Bind personal data**

   Use Logged-in User Magic Text for the greeting and user properties.

3. **Filter related lists**

   Show records related to the logged-in user.

4. **Gate special sections**

   Use visibility conditions for roles or onboarding state.

## Why it works

- Personalization should come from saved user data, not duplicated screens unless flows truly diverge.

## Common failures

### Everyone sees the same content

Check whether the list uses All records rather than a Logged-in User relationship filter.

## Testing checklist

- [ ] Two test users see expected differences
- [ ] Restricted actions are also protected by logic
- [ ] Empty personalized lists have a next step
